This is something that I am sure is going to anger the North Korean regime:



South Korea’s military has dropped leaflets on North Korea that tell of pro-democracy revolts in the Middle East with the intention of provoking a movement against Kim Jong Il’s regime, a South Korean lawmaker said.The leaflets detail popular uprisings that toppled Egypt’s government and sparked a bloody crackdown in Libya, explaining that “a dictatorial regime is destined to collapse,” Song Yong Sun, a member of the National Assembly’s defense committee, said in an e-mailed statement today. The leaflets travel in balloons that distribute their cargo when they burst, according to her office.



South Korea has sent over 3 million leaflets across the border in renewed “psychological warfare” since North Korea shelled one of its islands in November, killing four people, the statement said. North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency hasn’t reported on demonstrations in the Middle East. [Bloomberg]



As most of you know I am a big supporter of the ROK government fighting the propaganda war against the North Korean regime and the current situation in Libya is a perfect opportunity for the ROK government to exploit to further subvert the legitimacy of the North Korean regime. However, because of how brutal the North Korean regime is don’t expect Libya style protests to happen any time soon in North Korea, but the regime will eventually collapse.



Interestingly enough the situation in the Middle East is severe enough that the Chinese and the North Koreans are even reportedly coordinating their response to the uprisings.
