Lil Kim Is At It Again

Puppet Of North Korean Leader Kim Jong Il

Lil Kim is back at it again! No not the rapper but the North Korean leader. He’s test fired 4 short-range missiles. This time they did warn that they would be doing some ‘Military testing’ off their east coast until July 10th. The question is; why is he testing short-range missiles? Matter of fact, why is he testing nuclear missiles to begin with? I’ve been following this story for a while now and it seems to me like it’s leading closer and closer to war, or at least some type of military action that will most likely lead to war. It’s already been reported that they are planning on shooting a long range missile towards Hawaii on July 4th so we’ve  already stepped up forces around the area but will it be enough? Is it a bluff and he’s really aiming at another target, say California?

Now Kim Jong Il is getting up there in age and had a stroke a while ago, so what’s he doing? He’s grooming his 26 year old son, Jong Un, to take over the ‘family business’ in his absence. This will not go away any time soon. We’re talking generations of the same thing.

As much as we may think we’re a military powerhouse and all, I really don’t think we want it with North Korea. Not only the nuclear weapons aspect but also the fact that he has over 1.5 million reserve troops! Yes I said Reserve troops!! So you can imagine how large his full military is.  North Korea is the largest militarized country in the world! If it comes to war this guy is definitely not afraid to lose a few hundred thousand of his soldiers.

This is gearing up for a possible World War III. There is no way that one country can fight him alone. This whole  situation intrigues me. Not only because I’m a history buff and love war and conflict but also as prior military with time still left on my contract. I’ll keep an eye on this situation as it develops as it looks like it sure to do.

Apparently they shot 7 more missiles today (7/4/09) towards the Sea of Japan.
