Take that off topic discussion to its own thread, Bauglir!

[Slayerhero90]

So, uh, how bout that North Korea?

Oh yeah, that place.

[misko27]

There appeas to have been a small downward tick in rhetoric by the north. Possibility for Compromise slowly approaching possible.

If they end up getting something out of this so they will calm down, I will be severely disappointed. I'd rather we just move in and crush the regime, even with the risks involved, than to just keep caving in to their demands. Appeasement does not work.

That's not likely for right now at least. The US has put the line for compromise at "No nuclear weapons". If they agree to that, they deserve some reward.

Didn't we attempt this back in, say, 2002 or so? And how long did the fallout from that last?

The risks involve 180,000 Best Koreans special forces running amok in South Korea along with the People's ridiculously large conscript army zerg rushing a mountain of guns. There wouldn't even be a remnant of a regime left to rebuild. Or rather there would, if Best Korea didn't feel like taking all its civilians down with them. Which they probably wouldn't mind. Currently compromise would be a much nicer alternative to lots of death.

I would post a news article from DailyNK, but apparently nothing's happening there.

[Toady One]

Regarding fonts and all that, please try to keep this on track, whatever that means in this case.  If it veers all the way over into mush, it'll have to go.

Toady has spoken. Regular fonts for me!

[Remuthra]

And so the Great Toad repressed the North Korean Bureau of the One True Sans.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

At this point I'm just trying to keep the thread amusing until North Korea does something again.

And on that note, something did happen today: North Korea is preventing the South Korean workers at Kaesong from getting additional food, and current supplies are running low.

[Sirus]

Okay, that's pretty low. Not letting them leave, not letting them get food. Aren't they just begging for a rescue attempt?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

No, they're begging for South Korea to break and lift sanctions before the Kaesong workers get down to, well, North Korean conditions.

[Sirus]

Yeah, but how likely is that to happen?
