North Korea is next

Sun Tzu is also on the required reading list at West Point

There are millions of people suffering and starving in all sorts of ways in all sorts of places all over the world so the particular obsession with the situation of NK's population seems peculiar.

I can tell you one thing tho which is nobody believes you're Mother Theresa or actually have real empathy in the way people who don't go on dramatic, bizarre Usenet rants about the military must do this or that, do.

Right there's probably a reason these guys are playing armchair general on Usenet and no one is rushing to hire them to make actual military decisions.

Tom Clancy novels are like 50 Shades of Grey for men, ooh yeah tell me more about that hot AWACS system. I'm gonna beat off while reading all about that stealth fighter oh yeah that's hot

You think NoK has military academies?

They make folks face and salute statues. Sheesh.

I doubt they are reading The Art of War.

Your dismissal of it is peculiar.

Millions starving all in one place and only for one reason that doesn't have to be. There is a HUGE difference.

Kim Jong has probably read it...

If you mean the average soldier or the population at large, no I expect not. In the West most Christians have never read the Bible and most right-libertarians have never read The Fountainhead (or didn't understand what they read.) Wild, huh

Considering that they are very likely the gorilla who sold them the hardware and gave them the technology to build their system...

Yeah... we have known that they are an even bigger gorilla than Russia ever was, ever since they started doing their military base island creation thing over a decade ago.

They want us all dead and the land to speak chinese and make rice paddies not corn fields.

We probably deserve it considering our enslavement of them to build segments of our early railroad system.

But that was my ancestor, not me.

Do you think that matters to the nation(s) that have been hacking at us non stop? What is their end goal?

I doubt he posses the literacy level to understand any of the idioms therein. If he did persue it, he had to have things explained to him.

Yeah... I'll bet Trump never picked it up until... perhaps... recently. Still far beyond his grasp as well.

China has one writing system. but about a dozen different languages, no mor e closely related - nor mutually intelligible - than French, Italian, Spani sh, Catalan and Romanian.

And rice cultivation depends on have land that suits it. China also grows a lot of other grains. Wheat, corn, millet, barley, oilseed and sorghum.

They got paid - not all that much - and weren't slaves.

Catch-up. Any industrial process that they don't have to develop for themse lves because they can copy a system working someplace else gets them up to speed faster.

They've pretty much got there, and now put most of their effort into their own cutting edge research.

They do need to loosen up their political system - copying somebody else's industrial economy can be done with rather more rigid political control tha n works when you have to work out how the industrial economy ought to devel op from where it is at. The people at the top may take a while to realise t his.

Ah, Bill Sloman. My newsreader has determined that following your latest

6 monnths in the sin-bin for being rude and obtuse, you have been deemed rehabilitated and entitled to another shot of redemption.

Let's hope you don't blow it again by posting any more of your silly nonsense. I trust your views have matured over the course of the last half-year. I'm doubtful, of course, but stranger things have happened. Supposedly.

Your newsreader has misjudged.

Why Cursitor Doom bothered to post this escapes me. Why should we care whether he's got his blinkers on or not?

The fact that I don't get my opinions from the Daily Mail and Russia Today doesn't make them silly - quite the reverse.

Senility may have set in - as it seems to have with you - but how would I know? You clearly haven't noticed that you post loads of second-hand nonsense derived from unreliable sources, which may be evidence of senility, but you didn't have much sense when you were post as Eeyore, so it might just be congenital stupidity.

Try doubting some of the rubbish you read so uncritically - it might be a more profitable area in which to exercise any capacity for doubt that you might have.

Well, that's always a possibility, of course. But those of us on the Libertarian side of things always give miscreants a second chance. Or in Bill's case, a fourth or fifth chance. Let's see how long it takes him to blow it.

NT's judgement is famously unsound.

He's silly enough to think that he knows what he is talking about.

No, it's a certainty.

Failing to point when Cursitor Doom and NT are posting total nonsense would be irresponsible, but catching their every idiocy would require more effort than I'm prepared to put in.

You are of course, almost certainly correct. Nevertheless, I shall generously afford Bill the opportunity to dig himself even further into his Cultural Marxist hole (from which there is no escape) than previously seemed possible.

Cursitor Doom does love the "Cultural Marxist" label.

You have to go a long way down the page to get to "Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory" which is the right-wing nonsense which Cursitor Doom is ventilating.

He's labeling himself as a right-wing twit who uses terms that he doesn't understand, under the misapprehension that I'd be damaged by being the target of his fatuous claim.

I must say I enjoy being able to show him up as the utter twit he is. Plowing through tedious web-sites about social theory and critical philosophy is less enjoyable.
