Yeah, well, I read the N Korean news service now because the VCR is dead and I can't watch the classic Daffy Duck cartoons.
They say they want money, diplomatic recognition, a non-aggression treaty with US, and they want to talk. I said in a post when the story first surfaced, I'd give 'em talk. I said pay a good Second City person (actually I didn't - I said pay some talented person more than he's worth) to run talks. The Kim kid is into theatre. There could be talks about the talks to be held etc., say yes and do nothing, send a negotiating team of "diplomats" that would fill Madison Square Garden, and get the whole country on the payroll....
And just buy the damn nukes...if they've got any. Hell of a sight cheaper than moving troops around.
The whole place is a waste of humanity the way it is and it's awfully brittle so why not use a little imagination? After all the isolation, they aren't thinking that sensibly, and the boss guy is a bit of a fruitcake, so there's no reason to think you can use the usual negotiating techniques, exactly. |
