An Insider’s Look at North Korea
Of the literally hundreds of emails I receive every week, one grabbed my attention this week. I do not know the author, nor his viewpoint, but in his lengthy post he had a number of valid points regarding North Korea. He said:
“Either way, war is inevitable in the Korean peninsula and Kim Jong Il managed to get himself into a win-win situation. Even if North Korea is completely destroyed in a war with the USA, South Korea and Japan, it is still a win-win situation for the North Korean regime of that time.
And why is that? Because their definition of victory is different than ours. They wouldn’t mind losing their country if they could destroy the USA and the rest of the world.
North Korea is a war-minded nation, built and maintained for war and with a war economy. A boxer training for a fight won’t rest until he gets into the ring. He wants to make use of his training in real combat. He doesn’t believe he will lose the fight and he will put all his might, training and hard work of several months into that single fight.
The same happens with North Korea but the difference is that their preparations for war didn’t take months. It took decades!
The goal of North Korea is not economic prosperity or real social justice. The only single goal of that nation is to go to war against the USA, South Korea and Japan.
To those who don’t believe this I tell them that for someone to understand the enemy’s goals, one must think like the enemy and put himself in his position. People in North Korea, with absolutely no knowledge of what really happens in the rest of the world, are eager and desperate to go to war. The day North Korea goes to war is the happiest day in their lives: the day that their great leader will conquer his enemies.”
The author has struck on very important Eastern concepts which Western leaders tend to forget:
- Planning is typically done over generations, not weeks or months ahead;
- Since their value system is totally different to the West’s we will often not understand their motivation for doing things.
Naturally our Western leaders will not take any account of this when considering actions against North Korea. Read more…

I’m sorry, but that is a bunch of idiocy.
” boxer training for a fight won’t rest until he gets into the ring. He wants to make use of his training in real combat. He doesn’t believe he will lose the fight and he will put all his might, training and hard work of several months into that single fight.”
That boxer analogy is absolutely off the wall, boxing is a SPORT and is quite a few steps from real combat. Boxers fight for money, it’s a living, there is a lot of passion but most professional fighters, especially the top ones, are calm, gentle people who hold their art as a PROFESSIONAL SPORT. They stay away from violence. Try training in fighting arts and working these people before passing judgements.
“The goal of North Korea is not economic prosperity or real social justice. The only single goal of that nation is to go to war against the USA, South Korea and Japan.”
Pure nonsense. Country is held together by starvation & persecution and an egotistical sadist, who contrary to popular belief, IS NOT CRAZY. He is in a situation where any real reform causes him to lose power. All he wants is power and his luxury lifestyle and this is the only way he can have it. He is drunk on sadistic power, like most dictators.
He does not really give a sh*t about hating US or South Korea or Japan. Have you ever seen him to act crazy, irrational or fanatical? Have ever even watched his appearances in conferences where US, S.Korea or Japan is involved? Try doing so. Cause your stipulation of N. Korea going to war and losing, a.k.a. mutually assured destruction, implies a radical irrational person.
“People in North Korea, with absolutely no knowledge of what really happens in the rest of the world, are eager and desperate to go to war. The day North Korea goes to war is the happiest day in their lives: the day that their great leader will conquer his enemies.”
Whatever you are smoking, please send me some. Yes, people in North Korea are shielded from outside information. At the same time, they are fleeing at such a high rate, that China has been making serious measures against their influx. The military is on a constant verge of a coupe, and it has been attempted already. The people do not want war, they want reform. They barely believe the brainwashing anymore.
Do you even know what game Kim Jong Il is playing? It’s called appeasement. He is in a position where US & other nations will supply him basic resources just to keep him from flipping the switch. But his nation is nothing but military and even the military is slowly turning against him. The refugee count is rising, so the shell is being shattered.
There is NO REASON to go to war against N. Korea because it is falling apart from within, slowly but surely. Fact is Kim Jong Il has only been losing respect and authority with his closest advisors, military officials and even friends.
If he wanted war, he can have it at ANY moment. Is he launching nukes? NO. What is he doing with them? Using them as bargaining power for food, oil & materials to maintain his army and his lifestyle.
It’s garbage like this that gives labels such as “conspiracy nuts”.
