NORTH KOREA AND SYRIA... MORE COMPLICATED THAN WE THINK!

Well, all the talk today seem to center around the idea that North Korea may actually be backing off it's war stance.

As this "Concept" quickly became the "group think", the Talking Heads once again began to philosophize on how North Korea had played the same old cards... threat... appeasement... aid.... broken promises... back to threat!!!

So, is this really what is going on?

Are we about to see North Korea take a step back?

Here is one way to look at this question?

What has changed?

Did North Korea come to the realization their country would be destroyed by the war they scream about?

Would anyone in North Korea, other than the elite who run the country, really know the difference in his or her lifestyle after such a war?

Two weeks ago I made the statement the people of North Korea may actually come out on such a war with more to eat and a new government that just might provide for the nation in Ernest.

So why the North Korean Issue is so much more complicated than the media and the public comprehends?

Once again, lets look at what makes this issue important to not just those fearing war on the Korean Peninsula, but the overall relationship between the rising powerhouse in the World, China and the retreating US / West.

I am still convinced the Chinese government is far more concerned about allowing the US and it's Allies to dictate the fate on a conflict right on China's border!

I am still convinced the Chinese government see the Korean Peninsula issue from the perspective of "regional dominance" and not just the reunification of Korea.

China goals have not changed with the Korean issue.

The Panda Bear with a Dragon's tail hanging out the backend is in a much larger struggle to become the "Regional" powerbroker and as such it sees the Korean issue far differently than most.

Oh; don't think for a minute the US government doesn't comprehend this issue.

The reality is this, both countries understand the Korean peninsula crisis is a "regional" / strategic issue, not just about North Korean nuclear weapons or humanitarian conditions in North Korea.

The Korean Peninsula event is a power struggle plain and simple; between the new kid on the block who is finally willing to start pushing his weight around and the old prize fighter who needs to convince life long supporters they still " have it"!!!

If it was only about North Korea and nuclear weapons, the issue would be solved in one phone call between the two Super Powers; it's not.... and that is the issue.

Ok, so how does this relate to the events in Syria?

Well, what's one way to make an old prize fighter look like he is over the hill?

Yep, give him more than he can handle!!!

Who would formulate such a complex strategy?

The Tsar would!

Putin may not have designed what has taken place in Syria, but like the old Master of the KGB that he is, he has found a way to leverage the crisis.

Can the US handle the politics, economics and public opinion strain of two events on ether side of the world.. with both having few options for success?

My bet is that is just what the Tsar and the Panda Bear / slash Dragon mutant / are assessing.

By the way, did the Chinese just have everything go their way when the US asked China to "intervene" with North Korea?

Did we just prove their point?

Is China the only one that can really make things happen in that part of the world anymore?

If so, what a complex and clever game this round of North Korean  " I will kill you" was!

On the other hand!!!!

Did the US just box in the Dragon mutant by forcing them to deal with North Korea?

What if North Korea spits on the Dragon?

Does the Dragon crush the little nation to show it's military capability?

Does the actions of the Dragon show the other counties in the region just how dangerous the Dragon is becoming and drive them full speed into Western arms?

Yep.... North Korea and Syria are far more complex than most imagine for one simple reason..... it's not about North Korea or Syria!!!
