"The United States is pretending to be a protector of South Korea ... but it is definitely an aggressor, an occupier," said a spokesman at the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland.
Washington has a "wicked intent to strengthen its colonial rule and militarist occupation of South Korea and to make South Korea a victim of the U.S. scheme to wage a war of aggression," the unidentified spokesman was quoted as saying by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency.
I have mentioned I am truly sick of this psychotic regime. I'm not alone:
A top State Department official predicted Thursday that North Korea's decision to remain isolated internationally will eventually lead to the collapse of its government. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill said North Korea is showing no interest in taking lessons from the successes neighboring China has enjoyed from its reform program.
"It's a real problem," Hill said, alluding to North Korea's self-imposed isolation. "And it's a problem that will ultimately be their undoing."
Hill expressed frustration with North Korea's seeming focus on "small issues," such as the occasional pejorative comments in Washington, when it should give top priority to resolving the "monumental" issue of nuclear weapons development.
"We're talking about an issue that would profoundly affect the future of North Korea," he said.
"Are they serious?" he asked. "I can't answer that right now."
The North Koreans say whatever the hell that pops into their famine-addled brains and we are expected to just accept it as the way things are.
We mention that they are a despotism that starves its own people and they get all offended. Some over here start to blame us for the fact that the North Koreans are certifiably nuts.
I say that our officials in the State and Defense departments as well as the White House should have a rotating schedule of coming out and saying something truthful about North Korea that will absolutely drive the Pillsbury Nuke Boy crazy. Every day. Maybe then Pyongyang will know we are serious about addressing their nuclear developments and ignoring their pissy little tirades intended to intimidate the excitable types over here.
The North Koreans are seriously annoying. If they won't talk--don't. Squeeze them until they collapse.
Oh, and cut off all our food aid. If the Chinese won't cut off energy and food to North Korea, thus keeping that gulag regime allive, why should be help? If propping up the Pillsbury Nuke Boy while he pursues nukes is so important to China, let them pay.
