Seoul rejects offer from North to talk

[Colpy]

Too well controlled (i.e. scared) to be otherwise.

There was a story told, but there is no way of verifying this. In one of the cities when the electricity failed completely the factory workers were told to go home and wait and many of them did exactly that, starving to death behind the locked doors of their workers' appartments.



The principal issue remains, what is to be done about the situation in the north. Talk to them as they offered or maybe you have a better alternative.

The better alternative is regime change.

Death to tyrants.

There are also stories told of people who, once they realized they had a voice, forged great nations.

Big talk, exactly how do you propose to do this...?

Oh, I love "whatever". It adds so much open-minded to the conversation.

No need for "shock and awe".... Try a weapons drop - just some light stuff - and see what hungry people in possession of a bit of power might do. If the cake doesn't rise, there's no need for another....

Helped, coaxed, suggested ... whatever, right?

As there is an absence of any practical way to induce change in the DPRK and a determination to never speak to them we can only look forward to more of the same
