So, as it turns out, Kim-gahka finally did send that letter to make the proposal for talks official. But South still rejected it.
I. Swear.
Sometimes it's just not worth trying to be reasonable with him. I'm not sure what kind of game he's playing, with this, "Oh, I'll talk" and then "Just kidding, I reject your offer" thing, but it's really, really starting to piss me off.
On top of this, his and Japan's defense chiefs finally did pledge to create stronger military ties. I hope South knows this, that when he says he'll talk, then doesn't, and goes right off to make friends with my enemies, it does not help our relations at all. No, not one bit.
I could swear he's trying to make them worse, actually.
With growing frustration, 임 상 규

It has come to my attention... That a certain American and a certain twin of mine, and quite possibly a certain Japanese man as well, are trying to convince China-Hyung to impose sanctions on me just like everyone else.
...
I can't say that comes as a shock, but the thought that Hyung might join their side...admittedly terrifies me. I don't mind writing it. This is my private journal, so it's not like anyone else is going to read it...
If he suddenly turned against me as well...I would be...truly alone. Even when I've acted on my own, and everyone else has been against me, he has at least remained neutral. At least. He's the only one who has truly stuck around to help me; ever since the end of the war. Even if he doesn't always admit to helping me, I appreciate knowing a share a border with someone I can trust...
If that border were to someday turn hostile...
I really do fear I would not remain my own nation for long after that...
With increasing caution,
임 상 규
((Hyung = older brother in Korean.
When I heard about this China thing, it occurred to me that losing his only ally would probably turn NK suicidal. :< Or at the very least, extremely depressed.))

I hate it when they find out about things I don't want them finding out about.
No, I am not talking about weapons again.
This time it's an outbreak they found out about. Not a human disease, but an animal one called foot-and-mouth. It's harmless to humans, until we start running low on food because all our animals are infected. It affects anything with hooves so...that's just about every kind of livestock except poultry.
And they all know we don't have the medical equipment and stuff to quarantine here. So now I just look weak because they all realize what a bind I'm in already because of food shortages. Looks like we'll be cutting rations again...
However, I heard South is having an outbreak too. That makes me feel a bit better, yes...
Will forever be strong in the face of adversity, 임 상 규

Hahaha...
That ought to teach him.
Yesterday and today I set a unit of hackers on two of South's websites. One of them was one run by traitorous defectors from my country... We hacked it and crippled it for hours so that they could no longer broadcast their disgusting propaganda.
The other was the one that claimed responsibility for hacking my sites on the Young General's birthday. Now that one was very fun indeed... Revenge is sweet. Very sweet, especially when I get to give dear Brother a taste of his own medicine, yes? I am rather fond of technology; and I love my unit of elite hackers.
I meant it when I said he would not go unpunished.
Job well done, 임 상 규

Apparently, Hyung's leader and America's leader met today.
I know they discussed me briefly. They keep all that stuff hush-hush, but I did hear that China's leader thinks I should stop being provocative and denuclearise. Well, that's too bad. I want Six Party Talks before I'll even think about that. If I have to provoke South to get his attention, I'm going to. His just ignores me otherwise.
And besides, I'm not sure Hu-gahka really thinks that anyway. He just says that to keep good relations with the Americans, I'm sure...
China wouldn't let his leaders really turn against me, haha...
Still planning for the future, 임 상 규

Yes... Yes, finally...
This is quite pleasing, oh yes it is.
South finally agreed to talks. Finally. Not quite Six Party talks, but still talks, and I am fine with that. I proposed that we have some sort of military talks. Normally he doesn't like that sort of idea, but he's just been demanding and demanding an apology for the Cheonan thing. So I had to give in a little and say we'd talk about it. I didn't say I'd apologize. I didn't even do it anyway... And if I did he deserved it.
So our defense ministers are going to get together and talk about stuff. I really don't care what they talk about as long as South thinks we're getting somewhere, tensions lessen, and I get some kind of aid out of it.
Because damn, things are getting bad here.
Joyful nonetheless, 임 상 규

And sorry this is late. I think dad put my internet on a timer and I didn't have a chance to post this last night before the internet decided to spontaneously die. That means I'm going to have to work really hard to get my owed posts out now too since I'm not used to writing before 11.))

I wish we could just get on with these talks already...
So South's navy can fight some pirates! Whoop-dee-doo, good for him. I'm sure Somalia is absolutely terrified of you, Brother! South doesn't have to go and make it a provocation against me. Thinly veiled is what that bragging was. "Haha! We fought off those pirates! And we'll never compromise with evil! It is our determination to fight!" Mm, thanks. Pretty obvious that that 'evil' statement was directed at me. Nice to know...
I just love how this always happens. He makes some sort of statement that seems to mean he's willing to lessen tensions...and then he makes some sort of provocative statement the next day. Without. Fail.
It's quite annoying. Make up your mind, Brother.
Watching the South closely, 임 상 규

The talks are set to begin sometime next week, supposedly. I'm still worried that either South or his boss or my boss are going to decide to pull out at the last minute. Something like that always happens. Either that or the people who get sent to negotiate are unenthusiastic about the whole thing.
And actually...I would really prefer if this went well for once. Because, to be honest, I'm starting to get really worried about my future concerning the state of the economy and such...
Still standing strong, 임 상 규

((Language warning. Just a few words.))
23 January 2011
South Korea has offered... Bilateral denuclearization talks.
... Well.
I wish he would stop pulling this shit. I really do. It's like he can't make up his damn mind. One day he's rejecting talks and the next he's offering them. It's incredibly annoying.
Of course, I'm not stupid. I know it's not because he can't make up his mind, but because he's trying to ensure he gets exactly what he wants. Bilateral talks would mean it's just me and him. Meaning I can't use China as leverage or even ask for his opinion really, since none of his diplomats would be present. Of course, that would mean we could settle things just between the two of us, but I'm not sure I want to do that. I want the Six Party Talks, because, for one, I have a thing or two I need to discuss with the stupid American, and since he's been stubborn about talks between just the two of us in the past, Six Party might be the only way to do it. Plus, I like having China as my back up and Russia as my sometimes reluctant back up. With the two of them there, I can ensure I have support and at least be somewhat certain that I can shut down nuclear reactors or whatnot without being attacked, invaded, or spied on, because having at least China behind me serves as a major deterrent to any aggressor...
But if I do something stupid and agree to take some step toward denuclearization that leaves me vulnerable in bilateral talks and actually follow through with it, I would not have that leverage or the assurance that I would be assisted if such an attack were to occur, because China or Russia would not have been there to pledge to provide such assistance...
So now I have to decide if the economy and food situation is desperate enough to agree to the bilateral talks or continue trying to get Six Party. If I do agree to the bilateral talks, they might all be more likely to eventually agree to Six Party Talks. On the other hand, if I reject, I can't be blamed for dropping out of (likely stupid) agreements that would've happened at bilateral talks...
Such a predicament.
Pondering this one carefully, 임 상 규

South's leaders are supposed to send in that official call for talks Wednesday or Thursday. They have to do the whole 'letter or it's not official thing,' and I'm willing to bet they're being very meticulous in what they want to say.
Also, the South Koreans are saying they won't do high-level disarmament talks unless I admit to both the Yeonpyong shelling and torpedoing the Cheonan. I don't see why I have to admit to Yeongpyong. It's obvious I was behind that one. If it's an apology they're wanting, we'll see.
As for the Cheonan, my brother knows I was behind that one, since I said so myself when we snuck out to the DMZ together a few months ago. Of course, that meeting has remained a secret between the two of us (at least on my end). And since they all insist I was behind that one as well, I suppose that, again, all they really want is an apology.
I'm not keen on apologizing for something they entirely deserved, however.
Still mulling this over, 임 상 규

The South Koreans officially proposed talks today. They've offered to hold working level, meaning, not military, talks on February 11th. They'd be held at the truce village of Panmunjom, of course, to prevent any sort of bias or arrests by one side or the other or anything of that sort. I would never send any of my diplomats to Seoul, no. I don't trust them to let them return, and I know I sure wouldn't let any of their Southern counterparts return to the South either. So Panmunjom is as close to neutral ground as we're going to get.
I guess...
The whole place would be heavily guarded by both sides during the whole thing anyway.
In the meantime, I've still got to figure out if I want to do it at all. And if Kim-gahka would even let me.
Mulling it over, still, 임 상 규

He...really can't make up his mind. I'm not complaining though. This time it is absolutely in my favor.
The South Koreans took a complete U-turn in their policy today. They had been saying that they would not resume talks without some sort of apology first. It was supposedly a precondition to get higher level talks...
But now they're changing their story and saying I don't have to. It's not a precondition for Six Party Talks now, which pleases me very much indeed. In fact, I don't even have to admit that I sank their stupid boat. All they want is some sort of 'responsible step' toward denuclearization, which I am trying to do by getting talks with them.
This sudden shift leads me to believe that South is getting desperate for peace or some kind of breakthrough. Maybe dear Brother's even a little afraid!
That is quite an amusing thought actually.
Now just to get Dear Leader to say yes, 임 상 규

I'm beginning to get a bit impatient...
With...Kim-gahka this time, surprisingly.
I, personally, would like to get some aid into this country. Earlier today Kim-gahka decided to propose parliamentary talks to South Korea, which they rejected very quickly, since they've got pending offers for talks that Kim-gahka hasn't even reached a decision on yet. Personally I would be all for low level talks, if only stall for time...
It just...annoys me how he takes forever to think about this sort of thing.
I hope his son does a better job.
Increasingly irritated, 임 상 규
((There are reports by defectors that a lot of North Koreans actually really hate the government. With Kim Jong Il continuing to propose talks, but never accepting offers for any, I can see why.))

I do not have much to say today...
I am still just waiting for Kim-gahka to respond to the Southerners. I feel like he's making us look weak by proposing talks again and again and again. It makes us look like we're begging, yes? I, personally, would never lower myself to the level of begging my brother for anything.
But Kim-gahka knows what's best, I suppose...
Maybe I'll organize some public executions in the meantime yes? We seem to be having more violators reading Southern propaganda lately... They must be dealt with accordingly.
Power and prosperity, 임 상 규

Kim-gahka still has not made a decision... Maybe I'm just being impatient, but I would appreciate it if he'd tell me at least if he doesn't plan on going public with it any time soon. I hate it when he keeps secrets from me.
In other news, South Korea arrested a pastor who was here not to long ago. The pastor was from South Korea, but he seemed very fond of our Dear Leader. He even stayed here for a couple of months.
But as soon as he returned to the South, they arrested him! I do not see why. He was aiming to improve inter-Korean communications as far as I'm concerned.
And South wants to ease tensions by arresting those who try to do so? How very logical...
Waiting,
임 상 규
((So...apparently that pastor was like...preaching anti-South Korea things to North Koreans. He also went to the North illegally though, which is why he was arrested, but it appears there's actually something in South Korean law that says you can't sympathize with North Korea.
"South Korea's law prohibits its citizens from going to the North without government approval and from doing any acts that sympathize with Pyongyang."))
