It was Mao who backed up grandfather Kim when he invaded the agricultural south after WW2. China is no longer Maoist while lil Kim carries on the grandfather's brand of madness. Macarthur staged the landing at Inchon and drove Kim the First back to the Yalu river, where after being threatened with nukes, China ordered Kim to settle with the UN. Stalin and Mao and Grandfather Kim versus the US of A. A mindset from a bygone time versus contemporary reality. Lil Kim has the threat of an EMP over the continental US behind him. Is this a real threat? Grandfather Kim's invasion was started with an artillery barrage. Mao said when sending in the troops, well, if we can beat mighty Japan with rusty rifles, we can surely beat the United States. Isolation works both ways. A communist Asia was a pipe dream then but today this is madness.
