content: The west, unable to restrain itself from constantly provoking other countries, is poking at Nth Korea as per usual. This time, instead of ridiculously over-sized military drills between south korea and the USA on north koreas (almost) beaches, South Korea has taken to setting up huge banks of loudspeakers to annoy the crap out of North Korea, blasting propaganda across the border as loud as any rock concert sound system can carry it. So north korea shells the speakers, south korea shells the north and it's put out on NHK (comic store guy voice "Worst news channel ever") as north and south tensions heating up, without ever posing the question, " Has the south tried NOT provoking the north, Hello ? " what good is the whole bank of loudspeakers thing going to do except poke the bear deliberately ?There is also the 10meter high wall that South korea built from one side of the country to the other. Same as the berlin wall, except that USA, UK, Australia, Japan, even the UN all ignore it's existence and never mention it at all. You'd think walls were done with, but you'd be wrong.

content: Quote from: TheElectricChicken on August 22, 2015, 11:27:10 amSo if your neighbours play their music too loud shelling their HiFi is a reasonable response? It sounds like that's what you're saying. Also North Korea's constant and often unprovoked even by NKs over sensitive standards announcements they will wipe out the West completely isn't "poking the bear" in your eyes?QuoteHeavily documented wall that is in part* South Korea trying to keep North Korea happy and part of most news reports and every documentary I've seen about that peninsula is ignored and hushed up? There's lots about it by the UN too...Also what difference would it make if say the UK and Australia (who may for all I know but meh) was ignoring what you claim we are? The UK has less influence on the world stage in general than Australia and especially in that part of the world so there are only out of your examples the US and Japan that matter there. And why not mention China?*A major reason it's there is so that NK refugees and asylum seekers have to take the long way around through China so as to not provoke NK as much when they get to SK. Doesn't stop NK threatening to nuke SK every time someone manages it though...

They put the work into provoking the north, so it's PERFECTLY reasonable for them to reap the rewards THEY WANTED.http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/north-korea-resumes-loudspeaker-propaganda-warfare-south-korea-1515788

And I like how you ignore that both sides have had similar towers for decades (since 1953), that they have occasionally stopped and then restarted their broadcasts during peace talks, and that the North did it first. The south erecting their towers as a response to the Norths seems a reasonable retaliation, shelling them doesn't. Shelling in response to being shelled seems like a reasonable reaction to me...

content: Quote from: Mechanical Menace on August 22, 2015, 11:51:07 amIt's 150m maximum. So why do it? The sole purpose is to provoke a response. It can't reach the whole country. It is an exercise with the one sole purpose of provocation. So the South Koreans want to whine when they get what they set out to get. Wingeing and Whining.Quoteway to make up lies.QuoteMore of the same. There are no towers on the North side, they don't have such a boner for provocation combined with the monumental stupidity to think that anyone can hear the speakers. It takes a rare kind of western thinking to come up with that. Like putting sanctions on Russia the same day they admit that 50 years of sanctions on cuba have been a total failure.

The crap the Ukrainian government is pulling at the moment is well into legendary-level insane.http://thesaker.is/is-an-ukronazi-attack-imminent-yes-so-what-else-is-new/Gee, you think there's maybe an urgent need for huge distraction from the currently commencing economic/banking implosion?

content: The problem with North Korea is that the country has been run for the last three generations by a family of lunatics. It is therefore impossible to deal with the country using normal diplomatic channels because a) these will be ignored or b) they will be considered a sign of weakness by the other side. Until the Kim Jong family are removed from power North Korea will continue to be a problem.However..................North Korea has been a hobby of mine for years. I have a few dozen books about the country and the ruling family, I have a dozen or so albums of news articles and I am now starting to collect information in electronic format. The whole country is an enigma and I still wonder how they continue to survive in the 21st Century.
