North Korea hates losing

[Jbo]

OT here: but if N Korea really wanted to stick it to S Korea they should be training players in Starcraft 2...I would love to watch a SC2 match between North and South Korea...riots to ensue.

Oh ya back on topic...soccer is serious business

Sucks for the North Koreans, but it also sucks for their opponents... on some level, I think you'd want to let them win, or at least not beat them by too much. Kind of puts you in a lose-lose situation.

An airstrike would be prudent to remove that artillery, however the most advanced anti-aircraft defense web is in that region.

You can't just give Kim Jung Il what he wants. You send mass food aid in and it goes to the army, you send construction materials in and they'll build more fortifications.

The North Korean government doesn't give a crap about their people starving or dying.

I do agree, what are we supposed to do is the question.

North Korea is essentially a mafia state, a criminal enterprise run "the Chicago-way" surviving as a convenience for China.
