Re: I was mildly surprised that China said they wanted Korea united under Seoul's control. everynametaken Send a noteboard - 02/12/2010 02:41:14 AM
I had always assumed they would prefer a buffer state, just not one that is on the verge of starting a major war (unless they were waiting to use North Korea to devastate Japan and South Korea in a future where competition is fiercer).


That part might be a little surprising but I think it is mostly a concession they would be willing to make as long as America withdraws from the South (the beneign relationship part). It would even benefit them as America would not need to have so many troops, ships, provisioning, etc. in that part of the world anymore.
Mainly I think they would just like an out in dealing with the North. They'd like to move on past the last Cold War holdout.

If China is really serious about that, it's time to cut off the food and fuel to North Korea. Tom - 02/12/2010 04:37:29 AM 374 Views

I'd be happy to see the US troops able to leave because there is no North Korea. Tom - 02/12/2010 04:38:49 AM 356 Views
I wonder how much money we could save by not having to maintain a presence there.... *NM* Macharius - 02/12/2010 03:22:38 PM 167 Views
You'd be surprised at how many people would be surprised. *NM* BlackAdder - 02/12/2010 01:17:57 AM 182 Views
That one about Darth Vader being Luke Skywalker's father really threw me. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 02/12/2010 02:28:03 AM 157 Views

My opinion on wikileaks is that it's devolved to an anti-American smear campaign. Macharius - 02/12/2010 03:37:11 AM 373 Views

Not a one. I am surprised that the media plays them up--wait. No, not surprised there either. *NM* Palatine - 02/12/2010 04:44:45 PM 159 Views
And just because it's from wikileaks doesn't make it true. Vodalus - 02/12/2010 05:48:02 PM 395 Views
Not really, no. Not only is there little new, there's also little that's offensive if you ask me. Legolas - 02/12/2010 07:08:48 PM 353 Views
