Long article in the Calgary Herald or some such paper yesterday, via the Washington Post I believe, indicating North Korea has cut the food rations to its people in half in the last month.
They are effectively on a starvation diet.
So . . . . two scary forces at work: 1) Nukes in the hands of people who think the Marquis of Queensbury is a gay hairdresser and 2) 30 plus million people who might finally have their stomachs tighten enough to pull down the government.
I'll bet the army is getting fed though.
Something is going to happen there internally I would think.

The army gets food priority, thier food and clothing, and other neccesities are a whole seperate industry that gets serviced before the people do. So honestly which side are the majority of the soldiers going to fall on when the balloon goes up.
Also Kim has turned paranoia into an artform, so its very likely that there are any kind of organized dissention groups.
The government won't fall until Kim dies of old age, and leaves without an heir.
We don't even know what his family situation is, does he have a wife, or kids. [/b][/quote]
I think he definitely has one crazy son.
