China and North Korea: A Tangled Partnership

April 16th, 2013

By Dan Miller Do we know what’s happening? Probably not. But historical context may help. The following article from Stratfor, republished with permission, provides useful historical context for the current situations in Korea and its usual (apparent) ally, China. It spans many centuries. The Chinese ruling powers are new. Kim Jong-un and his regency are also [...]

Is the 1950 Korea Mess Relevant to the New Korean Mess?

April 6th, 2013

By Dan Miller Probably very little, beyond the differences. The North Korean invasion of South Korea began on June 25, 1950 when North Korean troops — many of them battle-hardened veterans of Mao’s fights against Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists — crossed the thirty-eighth parallel to invade South Korea, initially at the Ongjin Peninsula. They met with little [...]

China, Iran and North Korea – A Radioactive Stew

March 13th, 2013

By Dan Miller It’s being prepared for our dinner. Should we eat it? How would it affect us and what should be done instead? Relations between China and North Korea seem, cosmetically, to be getting chillier. China joined the unanimous U.N. Security Council vote for sanctions in response to North Korea’s most recent nuke test. [...]

President Obama’s Final Solution for the Zionist Problem

February 10th, 2013

By Dan Miller It ain’t easy being green. But the rewards can be many. Much of the information for this report was provided by one of my confidential informants on Middle Eastern affairs, Sheik Mohamed ali-Baba. In the interest of full disclosure, the Sheik on October 16th announced the al Qaeda endorsement of President Obama [...]

North Korea, Kim Jong-un and the Big Bad Bomb

May 27th, 2012

By Dan Miller Unsuccessful negotiations with Iran to avoid nuclear weapons development have been much in the news. Her frequent collaborator North Korea — which has already made and tested nuclear devices — is lurking in the background while we await her delayed attempt to conduct another. As a Russian arms shipment is en route [...]

More North Korean Threats – Next Verse Same as the First

April 24th, 2012

By Dan Miller Why? Is North Korea serious or is she polishing her tarnished begging bowl yet again? The perception that North Korea is “almost ready” to conduct another nuclear test “soon” has been voiced since before the abortive missile test on Friday the Thirteenth of April at 7:39 AM Korean time. It is now [...]

Should We Feed the Malnourished North Koreans? – Take Two

April 16th, 2012

By Dan Miller No again, for the same reasons and a few more. On March 30th, I wrote an article asking that question. My answer was that we shouldn’t because the then impending but now failed long range missile launch, and probably still impending underground nuclear test (or faked nuclear test), were yet more examples [...]

Will North Korea Attempt a Nuclear Test?

April 14th, 2012

By Dan Miller It seems rather likely, soon, although not for the reasons commonly suggested. Motivations for a nuclear test It has been widely speculated that a North Korean nuclear test will follow the embarrassing spectacle of its expensive ($850 million) Friday the 13th long range missile debacle. According to this article from Bloomberg, Kim [...]

North Korea, Missile Launch, and a Big Bad Bomb

April 12th, 2012

By Dan Miller Going Once! Going Twice! Going Thrice! Gone! But don’t worry. President Obama is on the ball. The Missile launch After previous failures, it had been anticipated that North Korea would attempt, between April 12th and 16th, to launch a long range missile that it claimed would lift only a harmless small observation satellite [...]
