Going to take another break from my area of interest tonight
to talk about the continuing saga called North Korea .
Now, I have brought up the issue of Iran and North Korea several times in the
past year, so tonight I will take the North Korean issue in another hypothetical
direction.
Before I give my opinion on why I believe North Korea may not determine its
own fate, let me make one very important analogy!
In this militarily, technologically advanced world there is
simply nothing more dangerous than a young, unbalanced extremely paranoid
dictator.
Assigning rational actions an individual who would all likelihood is completely irrational
is a very dangerous gamble.
The constant "chatter" that North Korea 's doing nothing more than "saber
rattling" for the sake of gaining attention or forming a stronger leverage
point for negotiations with the United
States is quite honestly adding fuel to the
fire.......... fire that burns inside the mind of a young dictator!
Is there anything more dangerous than laughing at or
ignoring mental patient with a gun in her hand?
Okay, back to my main discussion for this evening.
As I often do, I would like to play the "what if game"
once again.
What if?
What if, as I stated before, the real puppetmaster behind
this North Korean crisis is the Chinese?
What if?
What if the Chinese have grown tired of their North Korean
proxy fighter who no longer fits into the long-term plans of the current
Chinese leadership?
What if?
What if China
is come to realize that the true trading partner on the peninsula is South Korea and that the 25 million individuals
of North Korea
hold little to no economic value to the Chinese world economy?
What if?
What if the Chinese government understands the long term
impact of solving the Korean Peninsula crisis and thus neutralizing United States
stands remaining in the region?
What if?
What if the new leader of North Korea were to suddenly be
removed a group of North Korean generals who truly work for their Chinese
masters?
What if?
What if the peacekeeping force that would enter a collapse
North Korean government is one of the Chinese military that has pre-coordinated
such events behind closed doors with both the South and "others"?
What if?
What if the Chinese government took the North Korean crisis
as an opportunity to show the US
and the rest of the world new and improved Chinese military capability yet
wrapped it in the disguise of a human sanctioned peacekeeping force in the
collapsed North Korean government?
Dissolve this sound ridiculous?
If you ask "talking heads" in the Western media
they would probably be willing to give their opinion for a fee, as always!
The Chinese are the masters of long-term deep, detailed
planning expiration point
Young paranoid leader
of North Korea may not be marching to the master plan of the Chinese government,
but he is easily predictable enough to be manipulated by most complex planning
organization in the world; the Chinese government!
So, what if?
