DPRK isn't a client state of China anymore than Japan is a client state of the US. The Koreans view a relationship with China as a necessity, but that is all. They hate the Chinese as much as they hate the Japanese, but they fear them more and actually have to rely on them as a trading partner. So they keep up pretenses. But given how many times the Chinese have subjugated and ruled Korea over the centuries, there is no love lost.

Again, NK is effectively just a satellite of China. NK did not do this on their own. That's why it was classified. As to why they are being sanctioned and not China: we have to enact retribution on someone that will indirectly harm China. To sum it up for those keeping score at home, we're classifying it so China doesn't get the finger of blame while simultaneously applying indirect pressure on them by sanctioning NK. If they speak out against such sanctions, they know we can reveal evidence of their (China's) involvement. "China doesn't care if we say they did it" - normally that is true as it is US vs China's word, but in this case Sony operates of out Japan primarily and China has to be VERY careful with their political movements in that region. That's why they rely on NK to handle the Japanese issue for them, and is also why we are applying counter-pressure there.

Everybody here talking about conspiracies and false flags and yadda yadda nonsense clearly have zero knowledge about how US-China-Japan-NK relations really work.

I wasn't going to be that harsh, but I agree. You accuse, sanction, then don't make the evidence available? WTF? The DPRK is the most evil regime on the planet, but nobody deserves punishment for something they didn't do, and AFAIK the jury is still out. If it's not, then it's game over and let's see your cards.

I went with my gut instinct on this event. Perhaps it is in the dustbin of American's minds, but the White House and Company also tried blaming Syria for something they didn't do (Gas Attack), then evidence showed that the U.S. narrative was wrong. They never apologized publicly to the American people or Syria for that.

Whoever the hacker is, they got lucky when the U.S. authorities based their sloppy, unreleased "evidence" on assumptions. I've grown accustomed to pointing out inconsistencies in things U.S. authorities claim for decades now, which end up being false claims as the information leaks out over the years.

They jumped the gun because the U.S. policy has been to use NK as a punching bag for over 50 years, instead of leaving NK and its people alone to solve the problem of their Buffoons they have as leaders.

Also some other articles, as security experts detail NK not being a culprit: Daily Mail, Daily Beast

Translation :

Due to the accumulating evidence that the attack was no more than lay hackers using leaked credentials from disgruntled ex employees, we decided that the best way to save face is to double-down on the propaganda and prevent further examination/discussion of the matter.




I wonder how 'leaving breadcrumbs-to-NKorea' (basic prima-facie evidence) works as a form of legal protection when hacking.

Basically, with the massive anti-NK hard-on that the government has, it's all over anything that makes NK look bad. Imagine how much the government would at this point NOT want to admit that some lulz-or-whoever asshats did it. They'd at best try to catch the perpetrators on something unrelated, but never would it blame them for the hack.

Fuck yeah.

Just sayin'.

ps. We banned talking on or using a mobile without a hands free kit in Aus. I'm not usually big on the gov. stepping in and slapping "don't do" all over everything, but this is one thing I fully support.

Like every state and well outside of just billies.

IMO yes texting is asking for it. Talking imo isn't, there are many things I can do legally in a car that is as or even more distracting than talking on a cell phone and driving. To me Ez Pz, keeps me more awake sometimes as well.

So they've gone from providing "incorrect" evidence like during the Iraq war, to basically being Jack Nicholson in a Few Good Men? We can't handle the truth? Only difference being noone gets arrested.

It's about time. That said:

Oklahoma Highway Patrol and AAA cite distracted driving as the leading cause of injury and death on state roads and highways, noting the rate of distracted driving accidents have risen sharply in recent years.

I read an article from the NHSTA not too long ago that seemed to indicate that a lot of accidents automatically default to "distracted driving" if there's no other cause evident.

Even so, roughly 99% of all the tardbillies in this state drive with a fucking cellphone either stuck to their heads or between their knees or where-the-fuck-ever, so maybe this will at least cut it down a little bit.
