Has Kim calmed down now? I had a feeling this war he was planning wouldn't be worth the weight.

 

[sumbrownkid]

I don't think Kim was really planning a war, because for one Obama didn't really order our forces to the maximum alert on the Korean peninsula. I know our intelligence agencies cocked up before, but I'm sure they got a good eye on Korea. He was just talking big to boost the morale back home.

It's a simple case of "They are who we thought they were".

 

[Lizard]

So what does everyone think of this?

Cuba possibly supplying North Korea with weapons?

 

[Keef]

Cuba couldn't supply anybody with anything but illegal immigrants.

 

[Liquid]

And cigars.

Y'know, they burn all contraband cigars slowly and individually.

 

[Matty]

Cuba are trying to get on good terms with the US, that's why they wouldn't accept Snowden's asylum. Not a chance there supplying weapons to US's 'enemy'.

 

[Lizard]

True.

But what other explanation is there to the fact that the ship went under the NK flag from Russia to Cuba and then came back with missiles?

Were the missiles already there? Seems a bit stupid to try and get Cuba in 🤬 and being completely open as to who is doing it or just wonder around the world with missiles.

An anti NK/Cuba group? But then Cuba has a huge issue with who sold them a military grade missile.

 

[Omnis]

The sugar in that container was meant for the world's largest Mojito being assembled in Pyongyang.

The missile is there because nothing else would muddle it effectively.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Good job Panama, that's for sure.

 

[Keef]

Pretty sure China is currently working on expanding the Panama Canal, also. I don't think China would be happy if their little buddy was screwing around in their canal like that.

 

[Lizard]

Cuba has admitted sending the weapons for "repair".

It was more than just missiles as well.

Coincidentally, The Chon Chong Gang is the name of my local Hyundai owner's club.

Well, I suppose that if you want something to blow up spectacularly, you send it to a North Korean mechanic.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

What if the communists are only pretending to be gone? Too much stereotypical communist nonsense, and then the epic fail of getting caught is just the cherry on the top.


I can't believe that this is anything other than a "civilian" transport of "stuff"; North Korea's not really in the financial position to be buying anything from Cuba.

 

[Liquid]

Cuba aren't really in a position to charge capitalist prices, neither.

I mean, most of North Korea and Cuba are starving right now, so...

And Cuba is probably in a very unstable position to be making "smart business deals" with a country who swears to wipe out its northern neighbor. Although, this may save Florida in their mind, because if it doesn't then any nuclear attack down there will actually hurt Cubans. (Unless of course, they don't realize that, which is even more intelligent!)

 

[Crumpet]

Why don't all these leaders just ditch the nukes and solve any kind of dispute with an arm wrestle, some beer and a game of Scrabble.

 

[Joel]

I think Kim Jong Un would rather have a hot dog eating contest. Although the US could send someone in Obama's place and he'd be in real trouble.

Have you ever tried beating a living God-king at Scrabble? It wouldn't end well probably. In any case, Kim Jong-Un could just play 메뚜기 비밀 메시지 발견 on a Triple Word Score and then you'd be up 초콜릿 creek without a 패 들.

 

[DQuaN]

Chocolate creek?!

 

[Schwartz]

Kim Jong Il once shot 38 under par at a par 72 golf course.

Although a victory would win his trust forever, as the Cubans were able to beat him with a single phrase.

"¿Que Azucar?"

There's a fellow in New Roads, Louisiana who laughs at your attempt.

Didn't use the Q as a K sound and didn't incorporate a random J. Not impressed.

North Korea leader Kim Jong-un's ex-girlfriend ‘executed by firing squad for appearing in porn films’

Now that's a headline I never expected to see.

Guess he couldn't eat that...

Group bang?

Kim Jong, you're doing it wrong!
