a majority of the ROK wants to join the DPRK I'd like to read up on that and become informed but having trouble. Could you point me to some sources? ... |

a majority of the ROK wants to join the DPRK Me too. How could the relatively free people of South Korea want to live under the rule of Kim. They may want to be united but I'm betting not at the expense of the lifestyle they have now. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

a majority of the ROK wants to join the DPRK Since a considerable amount has already been posted here in the links, I think you are a bit tone deaf. So I'll suggest you read some political coverage of the ROK government as a start, say the last decade. |

Since a considerable amount has already been posted here in the links, I think you are a bit tone deaf. So I'll suggest you read some political coverage of the ROK government as a start, say the last decade. I try to read everything posted here (for obvious reasons) and I can't recall any statistically relevant poll or similar from a reliable source that indicated that the South Koreans would want Kim as their leader or the North's government as their own, so I join those asking for a citation for this seemingly dubious statement. I do recall a few South Koreans indicating in interviews that they are more worried about Donald Trump's self-control than Kim's military, as they have also concluded that Kim is not actually planning on doing anything but tests and bluster, but that is not the same thing. |

You have to go back at least almost two decades to find a significant majority when there was not so much tensions between the countries.a majority of the ROK wants to join the DPRK South Korea's president Kim Dae-jung launched the so-called "sunshine policy" in 1998, aimed at promoting peaceful coexistence, reconciliation and cooperation between North and South Korea to lay the foundations for a reunification in the long run and led to a summit with the leaders of the countries in Pyongyang 2000. [1] At the meeting, the leaders of the countries, Kim Dae-jung and Kim Jong Il, signed the June 15 declaration that both countries should work for a peaceful future reunification.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_reunification That Kim Jong-un could be part of a reunification of Korea is out of the question. |

Interesting little article. From a Sarah Palin feed to the Daily Caller, to the originally AP release on ABC News: http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/korea-conducts-cruise-missile-drill-amid-korea-threats-49810768 Do they really want reunification under Kim? ... and still I fear, and still I dare not laugh at the Mad Man!

http://www.38north.org/2017/09/jbaron090717/ Dr. Mitsuhiro Mimura: North Korea is the poorest advanced economy in the world—but what’s important to understand is that, while it may be poor, it is still an advanced economy. In that respect alone it is unique in the world. And that is an important source for the pride the North Korean people take in what they see as their country’s achievements. |

Hearken NOKO. For dA Brightness of Brighteyes comes to SMOTE. ********************************************************************************* I am very glad to go, for now I have no more joy in life, being but a luckless man; it is an ill world, friends, and all the ways are red with blood. I have shed much blood, though but one life haunts me now at the last, and that is the life of Atli the Earl, for he was no match for my might and he is dead because of my sin. With my own blood I will wash away the blood of Atli, and then I seek another place, leaving nothing but a tale to be told in the ingle when fall the winter snows. For to this end we all come at the last, and it matters little if it find us at midday or at nightfall. We live in sorrow, we die in pain and darkness: for this is the curse that the Gods have laid upon men and each must taste it in his season. But I have sworn that no more men shall die for me. I will fight the last great fight alone; for I know this: I shall not easily be overcome, and with my fallen foes I will tread on Bifrost Bridge. Therefore, farewell! When the bones of Eric Brighteyes lie in their barrow, or are picked by ravens on the mountain side, Gizur will not trouble to hunt out those who clung to him, if indeed Gizur shall live to tell the tale. Nor need ye fear the hate of Swanhild, for she aims her spears at me alone. Go, therefore, and when I am dead, do not forget me, and do not seek to avenge me, for Death the avenger of all will find them also.†H. Rider Haggard. Eric Brighteyes *********************************************************************************** So Bright are dA Eyes of Yap May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!! |

Meanwhile, some Chinese viewsBut it is more likely that China keeps the trade flowing across the old Dandong bridge because it genuinely fears the consequences of not doing so. Will it ever sink in? Unfortunately, no. |

Meanwhile, some Chinese views Dandong City... I guess China is very disappointed. Building a bridge to NK to facilitate trade but cannot be used because NK have no roads to it and building the new city that is now like a ghost town. - No, I'm not worried about being here. Not with the situation as it is in the country and not with the missiles either. Here it feels safe, there is a whole river between us, "says Yuan Xiu Ling on the seafront and laughs.https://www.svt.se/nyheter/utrikes/svt-pa-plats-vid-nordkoreas-grans https://translate.google.se/translate?sl=sv&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.svt.se%2Fnyheter%2Futrikes%2Fsvt-pa-plats-vid-nordkoreas-grans&edit-text= New Dandong City can already house 400,000 people, but most reminiscent of a ghost town. The 60,000 residents who have already moved here have lost a lot of money in a short period of time. Housing prices are raging, but Jiang Wei remains and hopes for peace on the Korean Peninsula. |

Ah, to be a NOKO Thrall. Honorable? Depends on dA 'LORD'. ********************************************************************************************* “I did not think to live to hear such words from the lips of Eric Brighteyes. They are well earned, yet it is unmanly of thee, lord, thus to taunt one who loves thee. I would sooner die as Swanhild said yonder thrall should die than live to listen to such words. I have sinned against thee, indeed, and because of my sin my heart is broken. Hast thou, then, never sinned that thou wouldst tear it living from my breast as eagles tear a foundered horse? Think on thine own sins, Eric, and pity mine! Taunt me thus once more or bid me go once more and I will go indeed! I will go thus— on the edge of yonder gulf thou didst overcome me by thy naked might, and there I swore fealty to thee, Eric Brighteyes. Many a year have we wandered side by side, and, standing back to back, have struck many a blow. I am minded to do this: to stand by thee in the last great fight that draws on and to die there with thee. I have loved no other man save thee, and I am too old to seek new lords. Yet, if still thou biddest me, I will go thus. Where I swore my oath to thee, there I will end it. For I will lay me down on the brink of yonder gulf, as once I lay when thy hand was at my throat, and call out that thou art no more my lord and I am no more thy thrall. Then I will roll into the depths beneath, and by this death of shame thou shalt be freed of me, Eric Brighteyes.†H. Rider Haggard. Eric Brighteyes *********************************************************************************************** To DIE fO dA Un One. To Be SOKO and Want to be NOKO.

More threats from NK today... https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-missiles/north-korea-threatens-to-sink-japan-reduce-u-s-to-ashes-and-darkness-idUSKCN1BP0F3 A North Korean state agency threatened on Thursday to use nuclear weapons to “sink†Japan and reduce the United States to “ashes and darkness†for supporting a U.N. Security Council resolution and sanctions over its latest nuclear test.I wonder why Kim thinks that the U.N. Security Council are made up of "“money-bribed†countries that move at the order of the United States". Both China and Russia approved to more sanctions and they are certainly not bribed by any country. |

Perhaps So sorry to inform you but a majority of the ROK wants to join the DPRK. I realize your western brain can't wrap its brain cells around this. is a lie fabricated of whole cloth? Or a mis-remembered quote. Or maybe someone has forgotten their own accusations of lies................ Cite the source or admit your fake-truth. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

Early TV reports are that N.Korea just launched another missile over Japan landing 2000kms off the coast (I'm not sure about whose coast they're talking about). :-( No cheers. |

1st news link over here. [edit] North Korea threatens to ‘reduce US to ashes’. (or maybe they'll just exterminate themselves) Cheers. |
