War is all about killing and profit by government. Fuck them!

Desperate Ground: Ground, on which we can only be saved from destruction by fighting without delay, is desperate ground.

On desperate ground, fight! And when the men do not hang their cooking pots over the camp-fires, showing that they will not return to their tents, you may know that they are determined to fight to the death. When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard. (SOURCE: Sun Tzu, The Art of War.)

Security Council powers have agreed in principle that North Korea must face expanded sanctions, Western diplomats said on Wednesday. Russia confirmed it supported a new resolution, although it said it was too early to discuss penalties.

Possible steps include a ban on importing and exporting all arms and not just heavy weapons, asset freezes and travel bans for North Korean officials, and placing more firms on a U.N. blacklist.

The measures would expand on sanctions approved by the council after Pyongyang’s 2006 nuclear test, penalties that have been widely ignored and left unenforced.

Washington is deeply concerned about North Korea spreading its nuclear technology abroad and the diplomats said cargo inspections were also possible.

(China, fearing instability in its neighbor, is reluctant to endorse this approach.)

I find it very odd that the mainstream continues to regard North Korea as a crazy or irrational state. The opposite is true. North Korea is acting in a way that is (very pragmatic) given its international standing and domestic conditions. It is simply wishful thinking to assume North Korea will disarm because others countries have done so in the past. Those countries had many reasons to reverse course – North Korea doesn’t.

HERMIT KINGDON ON DESPERATE GROUND

The (PRC) Peoples Republic of China understand the concept of Desperate Ground, the fact that if you back a rabbit into a corner it will fight. Victory or Death, return either behind your shield in Victory, or upon it in Death, A (very pragmatic) Blitzkrieg Attack as its only option would be the option it will take, if left with no other options.

The (AIE) American Israeli Empire can not fight in three wars at once Iraq, (Af-Pak) and Korea, with (PTSD) Post-Traumatic, Suicidal Troops. North Korea has the advantage, and the (PRC) will be forced to defend its “Sphere of Influence” against the (AIE), as the (AIE) WILL be forced to provide military and political support by the end of the year to Israeli WHEN prior to (Jan. 1st, 2010), it preemptively attacks The Shi-ite Persian Republic of Iran, to protect its Special Relationship interests.

Please…I’m a teacher here and this is will kill me far before any nukes do!
