Comrade_: There was something on 10 interesting facts on Kim Jong-il.
#8) Ermanno Furlanis, an Italian chef who once worked directly for Kim Jong-il, wrote a book about his experiences stating that he was ordered to carve sashimi from a live fish and never to place anchovies on pizzas. He was also sent to Uzbekistan to buy caviar, Denmark to buy pork, China for grapes and to Thailand for mangos and papayas. A former personal doctor also said that a team of 200 scientists worked to cultivate the perfect diet to ensure he had a longer life.

I only feel pity for the N.Koreans not their leaders.

The key to much of the difficulty with North Korea is a matter of geography. It has to do with Seoul, the capital of South Korea, and it's close proximity to the border with their crazy neighbors to the north. The city lies within easy range of literally thousands of North Korean artillery pieces, guns that over the years have been well hidden, well protected, and very hard to target effectively. If war broke out, those guns would instantly open up on that city.

Seoul is effectively hostage to North Korea.

I've long wondered why the South Koreans didn't simply move their capital to the south years ago. Seoul was overrun by the north during the war in 1950, and then retaken, practically being leveled in the process.

Instead of rebuilding, why didn't they acknowledge the geographical drawbacks of its location, and build a new capital far to the south where it would be FAR safer? If that had been done, North Korea would never have been able to have nearly as much of the crazy bellicosity that we see.

The ability to instantly destroy Seoul has long been the North's best weapon. I've long wondered:

Why did the South give that to them?

Never even thought of that, "...the ability to instantly destroy Seoul has long been the North's best weapon."

The attached reports says the N. Koreans have 13,000 artillery pieces at the border that can hit Seoul. At 1 shell per 2 minutes per artillery piece = 30 shells per piece per hour x 13,000 pieces = 390,000 hits the first hour.

yikes.

slasian: That Geographical proximity also makes the crazy half starved people a more potential threat to the US too, if they can manage to build missiles which can travel a little further who knows they can put some nuke coke on the tip as a gift

The national pride thing, or some other political dimension related to that seems like the the only explanation, although just what in particular I have no idea.

And again, I emphasize, that city had been all but leveled during the Korean War. It could have been rebuilt anywhere they wanted. And considering that it was overrun in the first three days of the NKorean invasion, it baffles me that they wouldn't just say, "Screw it. Let's put the new capital WAY down south."

And there's really no defense, in any practical sense, against those guns besides getting beyond their range. They've been fortifying that border for all this time, massive underground system with endless miles of tunnels, hidden blast-proof doors, guns on tracks able to shift from door to door, etc. etc. Sort of like Iwo Jima on steroids.

slasian: Real q stuckin, will it be decisive to protect only the capital in modern day warfare? I mean after all this years it is still more like the middle age wars, remember Iraq, or Libya when the combatant reach there the war is over... well can't the head of state run away far to south and continue the war? with little pride though

Comrade_: hmm I guess moving the capital would be a good idea, but will they have the finances to do it?
A capital is more than a title..it's infrastructure etc.

There are 10.2 million people living in Seoul. To relocate this amount of people is financially impossible.
