If the dictator of Notth Korea gets his war, he will accomplish two things:

1. Get border controls super tight so as to best ensure that outside ideas, which may subvert regime social values, do not get smuggled in via micro-technologies and EM reciveing decives (it would not even be safe for these smugglers to do this if there was a war) and

2. If these influences get into North Korea, they will be received with much hostility, since the people who are generating this culture are the same ones who are bombing them.

This references a documentary that I posted earlier:

The dictator of North Korea seems willing to subject his military to severe damage just to achieve these two goals.

Opening the link below leads to a documentary depicting North Korea's regime being subverted by outside influences through smuggled technologies.

I am beginning to wonder if North Korea's leader realizes that he cannot win this war against smuggled technologies. So he is responding by using North Korean technological development (in this case, the nuclear program) as a function of North Korean nationalism? This is an interesting way of using the technology issue as a means of uniting the general population for the regime, rather than letting technology subvert its authority.

This approach still does not address the potentially subversive ideas that smuggled technology brings in. Perhaps using nuclear technology as a means of creating a heightened state of war is a way to control these smuggled technologies?

Your thoughts?
