Jong Un allegedly received education in Switzerland. At 26, do you really think he is going to be in command? Plus who wants to get stucked in North Korea for the rest of his life when you had experienced life in the West.

Have fun Jong Un!

Heart attacks and politics are very common. Heart attacks of 26 of future dictators are even more common.......

Well, if North Korea is going to set off all these missiles in honor/honour of the 16 June talks, maybe all the surrounding countries should join in the party! If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! An early 4th July...

The more they shoot, the fewer they have in their arsenal. They can shoot them all into the Pacific and/or Sea of Japan for all I care.

Again, what's the end goal with these actions?

They really are going to use up all their missiles, it seems.

"South Korea has deployed a guided-missile high-speed boat to the area to “frustrate North Korea’s naval provocation intentions and destroy the enemy at the scene in case of provocations,” the navy said in a statement."

Well, I hope they both keep their cool. While NKorea is responsible for causing all this aggravation, I've no doubt they're just looking for a reason to actually start some real skirmishes. Keep cool, South... keep cool.

The ones who need to keep their cool are the NKoreans. Unlike them, Skorea is not a belligerent aggressor nation and will only respond in defense. Only a NKorea supporter would suggest that the SKoreans keep their cool in the face of NKorea's hostility. Now lets see the 5 pages.

With their limited resources, NK will soon run out of funds or missiles.

The funniest parts about most of your 'arguments' is that you never realize, or just refuse to see, that you're saying much along the same lines as I already said. Go ahead and go back and read it... or let me help:

"While NKorea is responsible for causing all this aggravation, I've no doubt they're just looking for a reason to actually start some real skirmishes."

I don't think North Korea WANTS to keep it's cool. I think it genuinely wants a fight. But while it will push and push and push if another nation pulls the trigger first it will say it's justified in the skirmish. HENCE, more than the petulant child that is NKorea, I think others need to do their best to rise above and not be goaded into doing anything rash (like you who so easily get upset by my comments).

"Only a NKorea supporter would suggest that the SKoreans keep their cool in the face of NKorea's hostility."

Thanks for proving my point, Mr. Kim. Let me guess... you had 'no choice' but to comment to my post. ;)

I wonder what these missle launches will accomplish the next time NK is hit by drought/flood/blight...

I hope no one extends any more food or fuel aid to the lil' troll.

Has anyone heard about rainbows, flock of birds during the birth of Kim Jong Un? Me too. After his wonderful father and grandfather, will he able to rule the country? No. Give up communism? Na... Too many people will loose their face and privileges if anyone knows the truth. What about putting a comity of high ranking generals at the head for a little while until Jr. will take command? Good idea. For that, you'll have to make sure the imperialists and their puppets won't interfere. After all, KJI was/is a super genius. What about his son? Not the one busted with a fake passport while trying to get in Japan. I mean Kim Jong Un. So, during the transition, how will you explain to the population that his heir isn't taking power pronto? Headaches... I just hope they will kidnap a hair dresser too this time. I mean... you cannot terrorize the world without a serious hair cut...

Just ignore north koreans and their missile tests.

It is just NK's defense tactics. There are nations in bigger woes than north korea and who are poorer.

Kim Jong Un seems to be influenced from the outside world and may have a better perspective of how NK could change for the better.

but before that, Kim Jong Ill seems to want to go down in NK history by throwing some nukes around...

hmm...... somehow this seems quit similar to the "Austin Power" movie where Dr. Evil and his son (Scott Evil ) had some disagreements.

Psych: "Kim Jong Un seems to be influenced from the outside world and may have a better perspective of how NK could change for the better."

Let's hope you're right. The kid's seen too much of life outside his isolated nation to think they're headed anywhere but down. I think he's going to have to play it tough for a little bit, for daddy and all, and to pacify the generals that are probably nipping at his heels or sense something could go wrong, but it's time the way North Korea runs things ends, and hopefully the son does it... at least if not right away, then in the long run.
