sunspot activity indicates we're in for some global cooling

which will counteract the obvious global warming our CO2 output is producing

so the debate will get shattered

then, in a decade or two when sunspot activity picks up, the temperature and violence of the atmosphere will shoot back up, and we'll be totally caught by surprise

The main difference seems to be European acceptance.

you can do absolutely anything you want in the world as long as your allies agree. because the will of the world is the will of the world. nothing has been violated if a thug like osama bin laden is taken out, no one serious on the world stage stands with this thug. pakistan can go fuck itself, because pakistan had elements of its government protecting bin laden

and the reason north korea is so advanced nuclear wise is because of a pakistani scientist who copied dutch technology when he was in the netherlands, then sold it to north korea, iran, libya, and other regimes. this scientist is seen as a hero in pakistan. so fuck you again, pakistan

this is correct

china may opt for regime change with its involvement (or spearheaded by it), but not unification

china will never allow korean unification. the only reason that happened in germany is because the USSR fell. china is not falling, it's rising

so as long as china continues to rise in power, the dream of korean unification is impossible

china will not freely accept a united korea allied with the USA on its border

the geopolitical status will be preserved

the problem with talking about rational choices the regime is making is i don't think rational choices are being made

you can't talk about what a crazy guy would prudently and logically decide. he's crazy. he's not acting prudently and logically

so it's a big problem

because you have to talk about really crazy irrational things happening, because they could happen. this is a cult of personality dictatorship with absolute power in the hands of a 20 something kid

you can't rest on the assumption cooler heads prevail. there is no magical level of cooler heads here

will never happen

china hates the idea of a united korea allied with the USA on its border. it prefers unstable mad dog north korea to that possibility

but as time goes on, china is going to have to make peace with the possibilty

in fact, if north korea does go full bore wackjob, and action becomes inescapable, china would involve itself actively and militarily as well, it's not foolish. any action in north korea is dependent on chinese involvement and acquiescence, obviously

but what i see happening is china going for regime change, but keeping the countries separate

simply because it hates, hates, hates the idea of a united korea allied with the USA

germany reuniting was really made possible by a sinking USSR

china is not sinking. it's rising. therefore, the prospects of a united korea in my estimation is doomed

any koreans dreaming of a united korea: i'm sorry, the geopolitical agenda of china is not going to let it happen
