North Korea declares it has given approval for a nuclear attack on the United States ...
... just read this on the News.
Anyone got an 'in' sights about this?
I don't know of anyone personally who has their 'knickers in a knot' over the situation, is that because the outcome would be so horrific that we collectively choose to ignore the information?
Is it propoganda, another weapons of mass destruction scenario?
If they have the capacity to carry out the threats, are the North Korean hierarchy so far removed from 'the norm' that they might actually be nutty enough to destroy themselves along with the rest of the world?
Seems most people I know are more concerned about the Football scores etc. rather than the possibility of a Third World War, is this normal behaviour?

There is (a cloud of) karma over North Korea that has yet to be acknowledged by the leaders. It is possible to call either for a precipitation of the karma or for transformation of the leaders (as a prerequisite for transmutation of the karma).
Precipitation of karma may be quicker and more efficient.
I suspect that North Korea, with its recurrent reports of starvation, requires an external threat to maintain coherence in the society.
or perhaps it is the source that requires an external threat. proclaiming a nuclear strike on a different country does not qualify as an external threat. (the repercussions would, of course)
i feel we should open up to north korea. im sure most of them r wonderful people.. then again, if were all on the same side, who r the neocons going to sell their weapons to?

It seems that large military-industrial complexes cannot exist without a regular supply of enemies: communists, rogue nations, terrorists, cyberspace attacks, aliens....
apparently it is so lucrative that is hard to find something else to make an equal amount of money on. of course having the costly infrastructure already in place also doesnt help to make the switch to plowshares.
suppose yellowstone erupts, do u think that would be enough to bring nations together, or would that only make it worse?
