About The Norks
By Mitch Berg
Fascinating article about how to bring down Kim Jong Un without firing a shot.
I literally can’t pick one single pullquote. Just read it.

I remember discussing the same things back in the eighties regarding another evil empire. Mr. Un, tear down this minefield!

Interesting NY Times article on the source of recent Nork missile tech. It may be Ukraine: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/14/world/asia/north-korea-missiles-ukraine-factory.html?
Ukraine has hit on hard times recently. The US and the EU should do more to support the Ukes. At one time Ukraine had 30% of the defense and munitions factories of the USSR within its borders. It’s political, economic, and education systems are geared towards producing missiles and satellites.
But the Ukrainians tend to be good guys. They want integration with Europe rather than a return to status as the crown jewel of Russia’s hegemony.
The Ukes have a pristine record of non-proliferation. They even turned over their nukes after they gained independence. If the North Koreans built their latest missiles with Ukrainian tech, it was probably done through a third party w/o the active collusion of Ukrainian officials.
