Morgan, thanks for the report. Looks like the idiotarians successfully took over their school (esp. university) system.

Here's a RAND report on South Korean attitudes towards the US

I have heard that the young South Koreans consider the US to be the enemy and not the north, after all they say we are the same people.

If they are the same people then I suggest they take care of their brothers and sisters to the north. But since the US has to defend them even while they are insulting us I guess it is too much to expect them to do much of anything about this.

The north is run by a madman and the South does not want the financial responsibility of reunification, but they don’t want Seoul nuked either. Quite a quandry for them.

Here is a pdf showing there to be around 2.5 million Chinese in the Russian Far East alone.

mythusmage,

Serbian Chinese?!?. Man, I really need to start paying more attention to this world. When the heck did the Chinese set up shop in Serbia? That danged Jenjiss Kahn probably did it. Him or Bush.

Just kidding, of course. I’m in one of my moods. And these are not chemically induced so I should probably worry.

Here’s a post from a fellow who recently comment at my blog. It speaks of illegal immigration from China into Russia, which might be orchestrated by China.

That opens up a possibilty. Beijing could encourage North Korean refugees to move to Siberia. Russia really doesn’t have the resources needed to keep them out, and is well on her way to loosing any real control of Siberia period. China could do a number of things this way. Move the Koreans out of her territory, keep them safe from Kim Jung il, and make conditions more favorable to her eventual take-over of Siberia.

For the refugees, it would mean a chance at a better life.

Just a thought.

I’d feel much better about dealing with North Korea if there were more support for us in South Korea. I don’t know how things stand at the moment, but various news reports (I know, I know) have given me the impression we are pretty unpopular there.

Expecting the UN to deal with this is expecting too much. Why should China care? It seems to me that the South Koreans need to start pushing on this issue and give these refugees somewhere to go.

*The horrifying thing about all this is that it is not even faintly surprising at this point.*

The truly horrifying thing is that the US bears the financial burden for the UN’s continued incompentence.

Rastajenk,

“Ruud Lubbers” qualifies as one of those things you just can’t make up, doesn’t it. Even the worst James Bond movie couldn’t have conjured up that name for some villain engaged in evil sexcapades. Maybe the whole thing, the entire world, really is some demented soul’s evil conspiracy. It had to be Karl Rove who named the guy – had to be.

I still contend that Ruud Lubbers is so diabolically named that he couldn’t be anything but an international villain of the highest order.
