South Korea Sounds Like

…they ’bout had ’nuff.

North Korea storms out of meeting with South
…Tension between the two Koreas erupted at bilateral ministerial talks in the South Korean city of Pusan, where the Pyongyang’s delegation parried complaints about the missile tests and focused instead on economic cooperation and requests for aid.
“The South side will pay a price before the nation for causing the collapse of the ministerial talks and bringing a collapse of North-South relations that is unforeseeable now,” the North Koreans said in a statement before leaving for the airport, a day before the meeting was due to end.
The North Koreans demanded that the South stop joint military drills with the United States due next year, saying it was ready to protect South Korea with its 1.2-million-strong armed forces.
That provoked an unusually biting reply from South Korean Unification Minister Lee Jong-seok that echoed the rhetoric of the years before Seoul’s determined policy of rapprochement.
“Who in the South asked you to protect our safety?” Lee told Kwon on Tuesday, according to a South Korean official. “It would help our safety for the North not to fire missiles or develop a nuclear program.”
The South said the North could also forget about any more aid until it returns to separate talks on its nuclear weapons.

That’s gonna hit them right in the empty rice bowl.

   “The North Koreans demanded that the South stop joint military drills with the United States due next year, saying it was ready to protect South Korea with its 1.2-million-strong armed forces.”
   Translation: “We has this big army up here, dude, and iffen you don’t start feeding them hungry soldiers, they’s gonna turn nasty on ya!”
   Glad to hear these talks broke off. The NoKo regime has got to be feeling the pressure.

   “saying it was ready to protect South Korea”
   Like how the Germans “protected” Austria and the Sudetenland?

   It’s easy to be a big pain in the a$$ when the army’s getting fed. When everybody starts to go hungry, then they’ll have problemos.
