Moon of Alabama — Why North Korea Needs Nukes - And How To End That
Why does NK needs nukes? Because the US constantly trying to destabilize NK (b explains). Nukes are the most cost-effective deterrent for a poor country facing the most powerful and unpredictable country the world.
I read the whole thing and it was eye opening. The most disgusting part was seeing how NK has tried several times to broker a peace deal and only for US presidents past and present to reject it.
Their nuclear deterrent worked so long as their capability was limited to striking the south. Now they want to expand the delivery range, and that is a fatal course of action for them to take.
The DPRK wants peace? Hold elections and respect the outcome.
it’s a good article. everyone should read it. our presidents have no goddam statesmen advising them.

What we "know" as the history of the Korean War is somewhat less than true.

Good summary.
ReplyDeleteTrump accuses McCain of trying to start WWIII and then lights the match himself. What dimensional chess is that?
I used to play chess myself - by myself. Maybe Trump is playing both sides.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to this kind of nuclear brinksmanship, the best bet is that whatever can go wrong will go wrong.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call that "the best bet".
