Global Gridlock Over Kooky Korean’s Kwangmyongsong-2
Synopsis: North Korea launched a missile/rocket/space satellite on Sunday April 5, 2009, much to the chagrin and consternation of most of the 'Western' world. However, China and Russia are unconvinced of the launch's motivations, and are therefore stalling any UN condemnation of the act. The Plaid Avenger explains the basis for this difference in world opinion, its historic precedent, and the reasons behind why impoverished North Korea would even attempt these 'satellite' shenanigans. Even Kim Jong-Il should check this one out!
