South Korea Prods North by Dropping Leaflets Telling of Mideast Protests

[below_freezing]

How anyone can defend the despotism that is North Korea is baffling. The Dear Leader has engineered a cult of personality that makes that of Hitler look like a frat boy leading a gang of beer-chugging cronies at a party. There is so much wrong with North Korea that it would take pages to list them all.

I even had a debate once with one of the handful of North Koreans allowed on line over who initiated the Korean conflict. He insisted it was the "Imperialist running dogs" who launched "a war of conquest against the peace-loving North Koreans" and it was only Dear Leader Senior who saved everyone. He did not acknowledge China's assistance, so all the Chinese who fought in that war were spat upon.

The fact that NK hasn't crumbled to dust is a testament to the intensity of the brainwashing the citizens undergo. They start in kindergarten, learning nursery rhymes like "On your knees, Imperialist Americans, the Dear Leader will humiliate you" etc.

It would be in the best interest of everybody, especially the NK's, if that bizarre and twisted regime were to fall.

It seems your problem is with the Kim Dynasty and not with the nation state of North Korea. After all, the nation state is distinct from its specific president.

NAND refers to a type of binary logic operation.
NAND is preferred because it can be used as the basic building block of all logical circuits, since all other binary logic gates (like AND, OR, XOR, NOT) can be build using only NAND gates in various arrangements, so you don't have to make different gates for different logic circuit. Any boolean operation can be fully expressed using only NAND gates.

I am not familiar with digital logic. I only know of the physics and chemistry of the materials involved. I've read up on the NAND flash and I thought it was a type of basic device like a diode or transistor. Sorry for the mistake, I'm not an electrical engineer but a chemist.

I do not think there are many countries that China is afraid of. However, I think NK may be one if there is really one since its 'dear leader' is just a lunatic.

The problem is that people in NK probably aren't aware of the uprisings at all and they are all living in the illusion created by this man.

South Korea Prods North by Dropping Leaflets Telling of Mideast Protests

South Korea's military has dropped leaflets on North Korea that tell of pro-democracy revolts in the Middle East with the intention of provoking a movement against Kim Jong Il’s regime, a South Korean lawmaker said.

The leaflets detail popular uprisings that toppled Egypt’s government and sparked a bloody crackdown in Libya, explaining that “a dictatorial regime is destined to collapse,” Song Yong Sun, a member of the National Assembly’s defense committee, said in an e-mailed statement today. The leaflets travel in balloons that distribute their cargo when they burst, according to her office.

South Korea has sent over 3 million leaflets across the border in renewed “psychological warfare” since North Korea shelled one of its islands in November, killing four people, the statement said. North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency hasn’t reported on demonstrations in the Middle East.

this is nothing new. it's an old treat that the U.S. using in Vietnam war and recently, a U.S. diplomat got caught red-handed with original copies of leaflets, instructions on how to start up a riot and cash before giving to a
a Vietnamese Catholic priest in Vietnam. the anti-terrorist/spy policemen beat the hell out of Christian Marchant (broke his leg), detained just for 4 hours because of diplomatic immunity.
short wave radios such as BBC, VOA, and free Asia is one of many tools that the U.S. deploys to destabilize China, N. Korea, Vietnam ......
