whatever7 posted:Are you saying US can't control Israel? I disagree. US just pretend they can't control Israel while the crusader elements in the US want Israel to stick it to the Muslim. You don't understand the US government. The US can't control Israel, Bibi has all but spit in Obama's face. Why it can't control Israel may have to do with internal factors in the US, but the US government can't just renege on all its promises and kill or imprison everyone who complains like the PRC can. You might say a theoretical US government with a different composition might be able to control Israel but that's not reality.

Whatever 7 is right to say that she's just reporting what her family says. It's exactly as China-centered and dumb a perspective as you'd expect from a not-very-well-informed mid level CCP nobody. No offense! It's just the same sort of opinion as "Israel exists because we let them," coming from some county secretary in the US. Not even worth examining and certainly not a reliable description of reality. Best just ignore it.

pentyne posted:There's a documentary about NK where they interview a former border guard who when he was reading off some news reports over the radio and accidentally misspoke. Him and the other guy at the post both knew they'd be tortured and executed for the mistake, so they looked at each other, and instantly agreed they need to escape. During the escape the one guy died across some electrified wires, and it was the only thing that let the other guy escape. I don't think North Korea has Taco Bell but otherwise I agree with you.

TheBalor posted:The Lonely Planet guide to North Korea is pretty depressing, particularly the part imploring you not to slip away from your guides. For most people, this isn't likely to result in more than a fine, short imprisonment, and then deportation. For your guide, though, you've likely ruined their life. They'll lose their job at least, and might even get shot for what you did. drat they should put that in the brochure. Very few vacations let you kill your tour guide.

WorldsStrongestNerd posted:It doesn't matter whether or not China wants to be in charge of NK. In the event of a collapse backing the strongest warlord may be China's only option. The alternative may well be to shoot several million starving refugees swarming the border. I don't know about this. North Korea's population is a rounding error compared to China's population. Think about that. North Korea's population is what, 23 million, 24 million? China's population is usually given as 1.3 billion. Even if 20% of North Korea's population fled to China, that would be 5 million people. That's 0.005 billion. A rounding error compared to China's population.

People in the US are way too eager to talk about how terrible the US is. Come live in an actually corrupt and incompetent country and you'll gain a new appreciation for how well the US actually functions on the whole. I mean, if New York's infrastructure had been built in China we'd have had to tear it out and rebuild a few times by now due to code violations incompetence and predatory eminent domain practices.

Esroc posted:This is really disingenuous. You can bitch about the shortcomings of a country and want them addressed while simultaneously understanding that you've got it pretty good. Complacency is the enemy of success, after all. Quite fair, but I live in China and get tired of rightists in the US and Chinese nationalists taking cheap shots like "look how slow the US builds infrastructure" when you know graft is what those projects are really about and what the US rightists are really after anyway.

Koramei posted:Well maybe if you were a clairvoyant infallible super-general You rang? I believe the latest round of talks are merely a front for South Korea to begin its own nuclear armaments program. It's the only rational response at this point.
