North Korea has been spouting off again today about retaliating if anyone crosses into their sovereign space, with the start of the US/South Korean War Games. Whether the threats are for real, which by the way all of the pundits, politicians and think tank advisers who make their livings off of fear mongering and posturing, claim are not, or if they, the North Koreans, are just 'kidding' and just want to get everyone to the table so they can get the palcators, litigators and the 'give away the farm' negotiators from the good old US of A to make concessions and give them gobs of aid for free, is up in the air.
Sadly this whole mess could have been avoided if the US had followed the advice of their Generals way back after the end of the Second World War (WWII). If you recall your history lessons, oh I forgot, this isn't taught in schools and hasn't been for years because our Socialist educators don't want reality or anything that resembles truth as part of the curriculum taught in schools, primary through college. Well anyway, when the really big one ended and the Korean War came about General Douglas MacArthur, you may have heard of him and his famous speech about " Old soldiers never die, they just fade away" which was given before Congress after he was fired because he disagreed with then President Harry Truman because he advocated wiping out the Communists in North Korea, who were actually the Communist Chinese and who by the way at that time had only manpower and could have been beaten back to their own border and maybe even overthrown.
Fast forward to present day and we have pretty much the same situation as existed fifty some years ago. The Chinese are still in charge and out weak kneed politicians are still licking their private parts. We have had one tough talking nut less President after another condemn the North Koreans for their actions and then cave and deliver whatever the North Koreans demand, our current President is no different.
What needs to happen is this, The US must demand that the Chinese put a muzzle on the current despot occupying the palace in Pyongyang, overthrow him and absorb the whole country if necessary, the people would probably be better off anyway. Admit that they, the Chinese, use North Korea to keep the rest of the world from noticing that the Chinese are in the process of developing the largest military in the world and it's just a guess that they are developing the largest nuclear arsenal at the same time. Basically it's time to start calling a spade a spade.
"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear-kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervour-with the cry of grave national emergency. Always, there has been some terrible evil at home, or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it".
