China - Puppet Master??

Since being mentioned as part of the axis of evil (genius move by George W. Bush) North Korea, the lunatic running that country as his playground - Kim Jong the second was to start building up his atomic or nuclear arsenal. You put an idiot on the defensive you think he will care about his people and try to save them or would he try to hold on to power at no expense being too high. Take a look at what Saddam has done in the past. The bottom line is always sustaining power with no care what is being destroyed to maintain it. I am not saying that Kim Jong was an angel and the Bush administration has turned him into the devil (some leftists would have you believe that) that's stupid. No, he was a crazy self absorbed, self loving man who wanted might and power and respect and then found himself being isolated from the world. The U.S. for the longest time tried to bully him into stopping, but Kim had a deal with Jimmy Carter (Democrat) that he broke. He was cheating for a couple of years working on his nuclear arsenal before he was caught.

Again Bush is a bully and a lot of what he does might have been based on good points but he fails everytime in style points. He thinks the world will tremble infront of him because of the U.S., what a stupid attitude. It actually alienates people who might like the U.S. Moderates who want change might feel like if they go along with the way Bush wants to do things then they are giving up their dignity. But forget all that, here is the crux of the matter. North Korea couldn't give two craps about what the United States think, what Europe thinks, what the U.N. thinks...HAHA...The U.N. they are so funny. They don't care. They only have one friend. CHINA. Here is the matter. China provides North Korea with so much. Its like its little bitch. Yes North Korea costs China energy, food, and technology but it uses them as leverage. Its like China is Dr. Frankenstein and North Korea is its monster. Sure the monster is annoying, but the reason you put up with him is because he can cause havoc on others. So China for so long had this cool master slave relationship with North Korea by telling the world that it got Kim under control. It gave her lots of leverage in negotiations for its own deals with Europe and the U.S.


Aha, now that the stage is set, what would happen if the slave runs out, what if the monster runs away from Dr. Frankenstein. North Korea defied China (actually they were smart, they knew China wanted them as a pet for their own good, so they used the protection provided to them by China to proceed with their nuclear ambitions and then when they got to the point of no return, i.e. an actual warhead they sped full speed ahead not looking back). So now China feels like it better reel North Korea back to complacency for a couple of important reasons. First and foremost, China's credibility and power leverage. If it loses N. Korea (by not turning it back to peaceful non nuclear ways) then its political importance in the region will decrease significantly which China would not like especially with India ascending economically and politically right beside them. And second and more immediate, if the U.N. authorizes force led by the U.S. or Europe, a wave of refugees will flood China's border with North Korea, a situation that China doesn't want.

Its funny because I think everyone got what they deserve. The U.S. being stupid with their arrogance (Bush's attitude) helped convince a lunatic that his only way for respect is through mass destruction weaponry. China playing with fire and wanting regional dominance will end up losing both North Korea as their bitch and legitimacy as a superpower because no one will need them to negotiate with N. Korea anymore. And Kim will probably be assassinated or taken out for just being himself (He deserves the worse for what he has done for his people).
