Obama, the Sinking of the Cheonan, and the Failure of Nuclear Deterrence
Did the U.S. respond to the ruthless Israeli attack on the U.S.S. Liberty? Yes – by threatening the survivors into silence. Read Machiavelli if you cannot comprehend geopolitics. This is only a peripheral theater for the U.S., with the main thrust of the forces of empire still being the Middle East. The only way we could stop a North Korean assault on the South would be to use nuclear weapons. North Korea is not Iraq, and is nuclear armed. They are trained in Soviet era tactics of fighting on the nuclear battlefield. We don’t need to have critical industries in the South destroyed. Republican administrations have outsourced much U.S. heavy industry to South Korea, such as shipbuilding. Many of the world’s computer memory chips are manufactured there. The bankster/globalists who run the show are smart enough to understand this. The Middle East is center stage, and will remain that way. The North Koreans understand this, which is why they attacked one ship in contested waters, after a prior South Korean provocation. If necessary, a few hundred million will be transferred to Swiss and Israeli bank accounts, and the two Koreas will continue glaring across the DMZ. Wake up folks. The world is more complex than this author acknowledges. We did nothing after the ax-murders at Panmunjom in 1976 (Gerald Ford’s watch). We should do nothing over this minor incident.
