Forums > Living in Kunming > Heads Up - Trump-NKorea

To the citizens of Cincinnati, or wherever this paranoia is growing (outside of South Korea, anyway): Perhaps we should concentrate on what's going on in terms of warfare - as well as what seems to be the acceptable level of disease, starvation and the production of refugees in the tens of millions - rather than on speculations about what might happen, if the N Korean government is really 'capable of anything'. But they're not: the capabilities that are a threat are already being exercised elsewhere by other parties, and as for nukes, I really doubt that the peace of the world is seriously challenged by the North Korean state, weird & unpleasant as it is.
Time to get priorities straight - we all know where most of the nukes are - and who is willing to use them, if you are worried about 'capabilities'.

The sad thing is that a lot of Americans apparently seem to think that North Korea is a danger to them. They expect what, bombs over Cincinnati?

Trump is wacko.

Roughly, yes. He offers a very good argument for his thesis, but I don't think he'd insist that it represents the only historical socio-cultural process that has been in operation.
The idea: stay in place and grow rice and be taxed, or run for it. Different strokes.

Scott's central theses - that centralized states are about dominating populations, that taxing rice farmers is a good way to do it, and that a lot of people could probably see through the trick and therefore ran to the hills to plant potatoes or whatever - make sense to me, in Myanmar or elsewhere.

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.

As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.

Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.

Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
