When China wants crime but no share of the blame
It turns to its beast North Korea by name.
There's nothing this monster would find too perverse
Like counterfeit kidnapping murder and worse.

You kill with a borrowed blade
And yet you remain afraid.
You take another's life
As the hand in the glove on the knife.
Denial comes ready made
When you kill with a borrowed blade.

Mature and heroic Red raises its palm -
Red China looks grave as it councils for calm.
When China pretends to persuade while it steers
Then deaf politicians can't hold back their cheers.

You kill with a borrowed blade
And yet you remain afraid.
You take another's life
As the hand in the glove on the knife.
Denial comes ready made
When you kill with a borrowed blade.

Son of a satrap,
Spawn of a pig.
Brain's too small
But his hair's real big.
Son of a satrap,
Whelp of a hog.
China's puppet.
China's dog.

You kill with a borrowed blade
And yet you remain afraid.
You take another's life
As the hand in the glove on the knife.
Denial comes ready made
When you kill with a borrowed blade.

DESCRIPTION

The idea that a nation unable to manufacture even simple items was able to develop and produce ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons is laughable. Think for a moment. There are only two countries that challenge Red China in Asia - India and Japan. Does it seem coincidence that two mortal enemies of these two nations are the ones who miraculously develop nuclear weapons? Of all the other nations in the area, these two? Two of the least capable of the regional nations? Make of it what you will.

What is plain is that North Korea cannot even feed itself should Red China cut it off. It can barely do so even with help. The idea Red China would permit a country it so obviously owns to defy its will is again laughable. Red China turns machine guns and tanks on its own citizens if they get out of line. They keep Tibet under their boot. North Korea certainly follows orders. If it did not, it would be quickly brought to heel. It exists as a distinct government because North Korea is a useful dog for Red China to own. Red China needs that illusion of distance in order for North Korea to be useful as a borrowed knife to stab into someone's back.

The added benefit is that Red China can then decry the murder. Oh no! There goes that rogue nation again. If you can give us something to placate the bloodlust of this neighbor, we will try to use what little influence we have to get them to agree not to misbehave in the future. Thus the stupid West is convinced to allow Red China to use our money to pay their assassin. And use their role as arbiter to convince the gullible no international action should fail to include the wisdom of peaceful Red China.

And we wonder why Red China lectures us as if we were brain damaged children.
