The United States continues to send wildly conflicting signs on their intentions toward North Korea, with President Trump following up yesterday’s assurances that no war would hapen so long as the situation is “manageable” with a warning that “there is a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with North Korea. Absolutely.”
Trump continued to suggest that China might be able to resolve the situation, saying that President Xi “certainly doesn’t want to see turmoil and death.” In the meantime, he said he “hopes” North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is rational, despite Secretary of State Rex Tillerson saying just the day prior that the US is confident Kim makes rational decisions.
Speaking of Tillerson, yesterday’s talk of patience and keeping North Korea “manageable” for as long as possible appears to have been replaced today with calls to impose “painful” new measures on the country, while warning against showing patience because time will “run out.”
Tillerson also gave a vague mention to the possibility of direct talks with North Korea, despite having previously declared the diplomacy a failure, though he also made clear that any talks were conditioned on a series of unspecified measures North Korea would have to concede to.
Even then, Tillerson downplayed the chances of North Korea agreeing to give up its nuclear program and stop all actions the US find objectionable, saying he believes the international community needs to impose a whole new round of diplomatic and economic sanctions against them.
With the past few weeks of rhetoric and military buildup around the Korean Peninsula already fueling concerns about the US attacking North Korea outright, all this talk of new measures, coupled with the insistence that military operation is still on the table, suggest those concerns aren’t going away any time soon.
They have multiple orifices from which communications are excreted. They change up which one they use regularly. The quality of the product is about the same in each case. Up to you which orifice was which (see Idiocracy medical probe scene)…
All Trump need do is put an end to the provocations against North Korea, and he wouldn’t have to fear a major war with it. He can (and should) order the armada of ships that are poised off the N. Korean coast to turn around and sail away. Problem solved right there.
On act that has yet to be performed. The Korean War of 1950-53 ended in an armistice, a peace treaty was never signed; thus, the cold war version is ongoing. Kim Jong-Un, his father and grandfather, all requested a peace treaty be signed, ending this stalemate altogether. China and Russia definitely back this treaty, since they’d be affected if a hot war between the USA and North Korea were to erupt. Both countries amassed troops at their border with N. Korea around the same time the USA 7th Fleet arrived off the N. Korean coast.
Why not negotiate a peace treaty with N. Korea and finally end the Korean War? Answer: because the US doesn’t want peace. It’s all about money, and “full spectrum dominance”. “We” rule the world, and all nations must bow before the mighty Washington.
Apparently, the Trump admin considers the opportunity to chat with US “diplomats” to be its own reward. They are saying they want Korean concessions as a PREcondition to “negotiation.”
Just like in the Syria and Iran issues, the reason for these contradictory statements are to keep all of US confused as to their REAL intentions. It’s not just simple incompetence on the part of the speakers. No one is that stupid.
This implies that the US actually DOES intend to go to war with North Korea – and the consequences be damned.
If I was NK, i would never give up the nukes. Negotiations that entail NK has to give up their Nukes is off the table. The reason is the U.S. establishment (as demonstrated by this Pathological liar Trump) can never ever be trusted with any deal. Saddam gave up his WMD and look what happened. Gaddafi gave up his WMD look what happened. So, NK will never give up their Nukes.
Sounds like his puppetmasters will get their war finally.
This Dictator is paranoid man,so to what we do with paranoid person,we try to calm him down,and talk to him. Even police ( except in America they shoot him) try to find way to handle paranoid person to calm down only by talking.
So why this is not same with this Dictator?
Attacking North is not answer he will retaliate by murdering many South Korean’s,that is confirmed. That’s the reason some kind of piece lasted this long. So what’s wrong sit down and talk to him? It’s beats me why not?
It’s American way,you will submit to American person, Police, Airline stuff, President,and doesn’t matter if it is in that order or not.
Since they believe that; they are chosen one from God, although they mentioned God when they say,; holly Cow,means they are Hindu,or when they say ; ” we are Americans,thank God for that,” on this, They don’t refer such God.
Which ever way we look,Americans are violant and they love’it,and they don’t care if we love it or not.
So: are you feeling lucky Pank,go ahead make my day.
