NORTH KOREA IS BORED WITH PEACE.

Increasingly my gut feeling is that the elite young generations in North Korea are "suffering" from acute BOREDOM these days. They're jealous of the South's exciting, high energy pace of life, fast cars and fun gadgets yet they're conditioned to feeling forever unable to share in any of that way of life. At the same time I'm sure North Korean youth feel they are physically superior in toughness and survival skills to the soft, liberal, urban, easy living kids on the other side of the DMV and thus feel that they and NOT the Southern youth would survive a new civil war if one were to break out now!

In addition, the other major group of people in North Korea "suffering" from acute boredom these days is the North Korean Military and Military Industry.  All this parading around of tanks, troops and mobile missiles is getting so monotonous, and old hat.  Mostly likely the youth of the North are prone to ask 'why do we have all this stuff if we NEVER get to USE IT in a real war?

 The North Korean generals have probably been asking this same question for decades and besides they are running out of places on their uniforms to pin all the many rows of grandiose medals they are constantly being awarded to maintain their inflated egos. In one photo I saw (was it a photoshop parody?) these generals had the entire fronts of their dress jackets covered with so many medals that the newest rows were having to start on the LEGS of their dress pants!  For sure THIS alone must be terribly boring by now for the North's military establishment.  A fanatical organization that can envision no other occupation but this one and will never so much as consider a 'scaling back' of their forces and budgets as has occurred in modern China. 

North Korea's epidemic of acute boredom among the military, both young and old as well as the nation's young elite, will only increase day by day, like a human version of a nuclear plant with it's cooling system turned-off.  Add to this the West's provocative and increasing sanction regime which must be seriously crimping the North Korean Elite's luxury life-style and chipping away at their collections of play toys, the only distractions they have from their country's dismal society, dead-end future, confining size and their own chronic, depressing case of self-inflicted boredom with peace and the endless armistice

North Korea's worsening societal, nuclear overheating metaphor is probably somewhat overdue for an actual "meltdown' followed by an explosion of all the things aforementioned.  Ironically, these same  victims of 'political' and national boredom, I believe, secretly WANT to be liberated from their own unalterable, immovable institutions of national suicide.  Their own mess, Their own sprawling prison. Unfortunately, their only way out of this self-perpetuating predicament similar to "police assisted suicide" where a disturbed adult unable to change his life shoots at police forces so that they will inevitably shoot back and do for him what he couldn't do to himself. 

The North Korean regime feels that the ONLY way out of their depressing and maddening boredom is to make a serious attack on the West so that the west will strike back, invade, occupy and ultimately pay to rehabilitate it's enemy as with Japan and Germany at the end of the war that they started.

Simple Solution for Koreas Crisis!

For Americans who prefer complex things be made QUICK & EASY, here's a solution to the approaching world-war to be started for the fun of it by Kim Jong Ill of North Korea.

1) Somehow we have to get a really big drone to fly into Pyongyang and snuff Kim Jong ILL while he's passed-out from his nightly cognac and buffet binges.

2)Then we get the Chinese to quit counting their gold long enough to go over the Yalu river to calm & redirect the North Korean military leadership into productive national service for a change (like feeding the population after Kim starved most of them to death)

3)Then after the Korean people have gotten some food on their plates for awhile, China & The west can teach the North Koreans how to make a bunch of cheap stuff for Walmart that will be pretty high quality - until they get really good at unbridled, capitalism like the Chinese have learned to be.

4)Naturally, the now 'Liberated' North Korean people will be so thank full to the West that they will do whatever we ask them to do (until they get richer & smarter). Then we can keep the North Korean Army from getting antsy from too much do-gooding and too little killing by packing them up on buses & C -140's and delivering them directly to the rugged mountains of Afghanistan where we can "ask" them to please 'delete' the Taliban nasties from where ever they find them because they are really good at that sort of thing and lest we (nor the Russians) admit, we're not so good at it.

5) With the bulk of the over sized North Korean Military eagerly, busy in Afghanistan, The U.S. can better help the population build a civilian society and market economy closer to that in South Korea and keep on making stuff for Walmart (to starve the unions & the public in America) Then the next step will be to formerly reunite the long divided Korean peninsula with a Disneyfied "pulling-down-the-wall" ceremony & glitzy, after party for all the kids who missed the big one in Berlin during the age of Reagan in the 1980's !!!
