North Korea threatened Wednesday to wipe the United States off the map

Just an update incase anyone was wondering - I'm still here so I can vouch for south Florida. Our electronics still work I can assume we haven't had any nuclear clicks nearby either.

This has been PROVEN to be a failed strategy. Look at China, Vietnam, and Cuba. The OPPOSITE actually works. China and Vietnam have been opened up NOT by war or embargo but by greed; both are now de facto Capitalistic states.

What's PROVEN is these countries grow immune to restrictions by finding ways around it, You know darn well that NK is buying goods from Countries that we do trade with, The only way a trade embargo is really going to work is using a blockade to completely off NK from the outside world.

As for cutting off aid, I doubt that will work either, Were dealing with a Country that cares nothing about it's people, as one poster indicated earlier.

I'm pretty sure they will no longer exist in the next 12 months regime wise. (NK)

It will be a wonderful world if things are really that simple. OF COURSE the existing North Korean ruling elites will survive even AFTER Kim Jong-il's death (in less than a year or not). The situation in North Korea now is very similar to that of China in 1976 when Mao is dying. Different factions will compete for dominant power, with or without a Kim figurehead. They will also almost definitely uphold Kim's flag in the transition period of YEARS to come.

The real underlying problem of North Korea is the lack of a practical political alternative, again, just like what is now in China. The ruling single party has dominated the political landscape for soooo long that dissidents are too infant to stand on their own feet.

More importantly, any significant change (whether internally initiated or externally forced) there REQUIRES the blessing of her not so gentle giant, China. However, China obviously does NOT want to see any instability in the region.

Again, I may be wrong or mis-informed or speacking my mind.

I think, NK nukes are something China provided.

NK talk just as China wants it talk.

NK is just apuppet for china and any action or word that comes out of NK is directly coming from China.

if not they would have toppled KIM long back.

Its idiotic to give them any lip service. That's plain rhetoric meant for internal consumption. No one in the international community takes it seriously. Stop making an issue out of it.

EMP = Electronic Magnetic Pulse = No powered anything and all circuits fried.
50% or more (depends on the season) of the US population dies due to no water and food for 30 to 90 days.

Did anyone catch a glimpse of the anti-US rally in NK? I've never seen a demonstration look so staged like this one was.... Even the Ministry of Propaganda sucks.

Huh? What do you expect in a country where elderly people and pregnant women cannot be on the streets of Pyongyang during the day, because they don't fit in the image. A country where they build amazing new apartment buildings just to secure them with guards and never finish them in the inside because all they supposed to do is let people believe that they can at some point of time have a nice life in one of those. A country where they have a few computers at the university just to show to the foreigners how "advanced" they are while they are not even working. Honestly, what do you expect? Too bad you haven't lived a few years in the USSR to be able to comprehend this.

Yes, you are wrong. North Korea is NOT a puppet state of China, not even remotely close.

And unlike the U.S., China is not in the business of toppling sovereign states.

Funny... Of course it is not authentic, but that shouldn't come as a surprise, that is exactly what I've explained in my post. I've read many books about NK thank you..
