German experts in North Korea

The axis of evil has a new old member?

German economic advisors are in North Korea, helping to dismantle another axis of evil state.

We found a retired recluse geo-political expert and interviewed the person.

K-landnews: Can you introduce yourself and then give us your take on North Korea.

Expert: My claim to fame was this map I drew as a young student. It is not one hundred percent accurate but pretty close to what the former Soviet Union looks like today. The fun point is that the Soviet Union was still there and the pundits did not see the future. They had too much to lose.

K-landnews: You predicted the break-up of the Soviet Union?

Expert: I did not say that. I said the Soviet Union was bound to undergo really deep change, see, I was erring on the cautious side. But I took all the right-wing nuts out of the equation and all the guys who made money off of the fear. Then I studied what the people who had lived under the system had to say, those who had reformed but were considered tainted by the powers that be. Then you look at the ethic makeup, religion and the resources and roll the dice.

K-landnews: So, about North Korea.

Expert: With their sugar daddy busy counting rem-whatstheirname, the Koreans not able to feed their people -- eating kimchi made from the parade ground lawn is not a sustainable diet.
It was a matter of time, and the time has come.

K-landnews: Hm, would you want to make a guess about Iran?

Expert: If someone sends me a fat check, sure. Just kidding. They will cange, too. It may take a while, but they will, as long as nobody gets trigger-happy. But it may be a bit messier than North Korea. There are reports out there today, just like the British reports about Iraq in the 1950s, that will tell you what is likely, but you'll get to read them in 30 or 50 years.

K-landnews: Thank you for your time. And, dear readers, please note that past performance does not guarantee future success, as we in the business world say.
