The US has to accept North Korea as a nuclear power : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 11/9/2017

Short of a massive military attack on its nuclear facilities, which is unthinkable, no diplomatic efforts or incentives will compel Pyongyang to give up its nuclear arsenal.

Confucius has given Korea the great person born of heaven , supreme leader from the Kim dynasty and commander of the state body.
In September 2015, the South Korean government commented that Kim appeared to have gained 30 kg in body fat over the previous five years, reaching a total estimated body weight of 130 kg .

and in the comfort of our own homes we can joyfully pontificate as the who should do what and ignore the ramifications of any act by believing we are only thinking of the greater good....as long as no hardship touches us....ahhh the lucky country....only because everyone else is too busy with their situation to pay any attention to us

" However, Russia recognized the 1895 Korea-Japan agreement as an act against its interests in northeastern China and eventually brought France and Germany to its side. With the success of the three-country intervention (Russia, France, Germany), Russia emerged as another major power in East Asia, ."
The lucky British nearly owned Korea and it's lucky Australia didn't take over. Japan gets a double nuking , Guam 1 and Oz 1 each. France and Germany must wait for Kim's big one.

Japan had already known what had been inflicted on China. So it wanted to maintain its independence, but its efforts to do so was inseparably involved in international imeperialistic rivalry, particularly in the Russo-British one concerning China, which centered around the Korean Peninsula at that time. To prevent itself from being carved up like China, Japan had to wean Korea from the Chinese suzerainty and keep it free as an independent counry.
Most, if not all, Western observers predicted that Japan would suffer terrible defeat in the Sino (or Manchurian)-Japanese war of 1894~95. After being victorious, Russian, not Japanese, influence increased steadily, so Japan fought another war with Russia.
One big factor that made for Japan's victory was that Great Britain and the United States wanted to check Russian influence and sided Japan. Japan would have been saved from the way it modernised itself if it had geographically situated in where Norway or Switzeland was.

I would appreciate very much if anyone kindly reads my (Yoshimichi Moriayama's) comments dated Aug. 16 and 18 out of my five comments on Project Syndicate/Richard Haass/The End of Asia's Strategic Miracle?/August 16.

As for the Pacific War, please read my (Michi's) comment on Hamilton Fish/FDR, The Other Side of the Coin, Hardcover, 1976, amazon usa. He/She would know the story usually told is different from the truth.

As for the comfort women, please read my comment, American Humanism, on Chinese Comfort Women, amazon usa.
Some details by an expert are available both in Japanese and English at the following address:

Please don't blame Japan for the crime it did not commit.

What America can do immediately about Pyongyang and its goose-steppers:
Reverse and repudiate all Neo-Con ambition to enforce regime change on any nation, including North Korea.

What the whole civilised world can, through UN, do immediately about North Korea: Reduce to a stone age economy by TOTAL economic sanctions those countries whose material and technological support has made possible the modern military machine that the Pyongyang goose-steppers would have had no chance of achieving without it. That includes Nazi Ukraine and theocratic Pakistan. This would not confront the Peking thug regime and would stall the goose-steppers' military development dead in its tracks -- and cut off all regular maintenance without which it would rapidly decay to impotence.
