North Korea provoking again. They are like the naughty kid in the corner having a temper tantrum, aren't they?
With one major difference - most naughty kids don't have nukes - North Korea's temper tantrums have the potential to be catastrophic.:frown:
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un faced an assassination attempt in Pyongyang last year during a power struggle in a military bureau, a Seoul-based intelligence source told the JoongAng Ilbo Tuesday.
“The authorities are paying special attention because the attempt was made in downtown Pyongyang, not during one of Kim’s regional trips outside the capital city,” said the source, who is well-informed about North Korean affairs.
Although the source did not reveal the exact timing of the incident or who was behind the attack, he said the move appeared to be related to the recent fall and rise of a general.
“It appeared that disgruntled people inside the North moved before the time of the demotion of Kim Yong-chol, director of the Reconnaissance General Bureau, in November,” the source said.
"They are afraid that the public will be very agitated by forthcoming food shortages in April,” another official said. “Kim Jong-un doesn’t want to start a war. He just wants to escalate tensions to unite his people and find a way through the tightened sanctions.”
The official also said the North is likely to stage an attack that cannot be conclusively blamed on it.
*JOKES*....
Something wrong about that and I can't work out exactly what it is.
1. It means that HC acknowledge they can not effectively moderate
2. Members will feel emboldened to be even more provocative
3. It rewards anti social behaviour
4. Human behaviour dictates that nowhere near enough would be collected for effective legal defence
5.
6.
