Why is North Korea so difficult? : Comments

By Max Atkinson, published 19/1/2018

To better understand the North's actions we need to go back to 1958, when the US installed nuclear missiles in South Korea in breach of the Armistice Agreement.

Devils advocate position.
If I was in his position with the weight of evidence about US starting wars by deceptive means I would be doing anything to prevent them.

1 Quote "1958, when the US installed nuclear missiles in South Korea in breach of the Armistice Agreement."
Claims they have been removed. The first lie is putting them there, so saying they have been removed could also be a lie.

2 Quote "where things like Pearl Harbour happen, & thousands of your people die."
Not sure what point you are making but America knew of the attack before it happened but kept the information from Admiral Kimmel

Nobody here is in the business of forgiving tinpot despots and their crimes against humanity. Be they Stalin with more Russian blood (25 mill) on his hands than Russian war dead during WW11!

Nor pol pot, Idi Amin, the butcher of Belgrade, the butcher of Bagdad, the butcher of Syria, the tyrant of Turkey. Rhee with the possible blood of 30,000 innocents on his hands, possibly the least monstrous of these baby butchering autocrats? Two wongs do not make a white.

As bad as these subhumans were, they did not threaten the world with a nuclear holocaust!

Some incredibly naive folk seem to believe that North korea could get away with what she has been getting away with, without covert assistance like that provided North vietnam, by Russian advisors, or the Russian migs that once regularly patrolled Northern korean skys, or the ones now providing invaluable assistance to the butcher of Syria.

Whatever Rhee did simply doesn't justify anything this, brother butchering, mad bastard does now.

I stand by my previous comments and agree absolutely, with Hasbeens contribution at this time!

Nearly all countries are complicit in atrocities and illegal actions.

France sent agents to blow up the Rainbow warrior. illegal

USA and other countries have killed thousands via drones and other means. illegal.

There are hundreds of other instances, committed by various countries.

The author of this article doesnt seem to realise that there is no way little
Rocket man is going to fire a Nuclear Weapon at anyone, because American
missiles are no doubt pointed right at him if he should make a move.

He has got to know that, so he is just making empty threats.
Donald Trump understands the situation better than the author of this article and is simply calling his bluff.

Once again Donald Trump proves his ability to see the reality of whats going on better than the left wing writer here
who filters everything through a left wing Anti American lense like all these leftist. Doesnt matter if its the truth or not.

Well CHERFUL I am no leftist, but I completely disagree with your post.

Trump and his neoconservative lunatic advisers and military morons surrounding him are the only ones threatening nuclear war.

It is the US who refuses to sign a peace deal with NK despite multiple opportunities offered by NK. It is the US provocative war games and continued threats both overt and covert which has driven NK to take self preservation by developing nuclear weapons, not the other way round.

Russia and China also don't want the US parked on their borders which is the plain and simple reason the US wants regime change in NK.

NK is observant, it has watched what happens to countries who give in to US threats, see Iraq, Ukraine, Syria, and continued attempts by the US in Venezuela and dozens of countries around the world. Remember Iran in 1953, the US is at it again, yet Iran has invaded precisely no one for hundreds of years.

It's all about oil, pipelines and access to energy which the US wants to unilaterally control.

Don't believe all the rubbish you read or hear from the MSM, it b-llsh-t. Expand your knowledge and then post something with a bit of truth behind it.

'Nobody here is in the business of forgiving tinpot despots and their crimes against humanity'
Of course you have to be classified as a despot otherwise all decimation is permitted.
We have N Korea clearly possessing WMD's and no one is in a hurry for regime change here and we had Iraq with a US claim it had WMD's and most of the west, including Australia, was keen to go along with Bush and Blair and decimate a country and it's people on a questionable 'we thought'
Seems to me that not only were the architects of this fiasco were 'forgiven' they certainly weren't held accountable.
The entire middle east was brought down with this irresponsible act with the repercussions being felt today and the best we've got is people running around with their heads up their backsides muttering nonsensical rubbish and inventing stories of convenience to justify the unjustifiable bleating about 'crimes against humanity'.....give me a break!
Then we have Australians claiming to be Pontius Pilate, wanting to know why their social fabric is being shredded as if they expected to be exempt from the ripple effect of their participation in wars of opportunity.
Talk about thick!
We can't even teach our children respect for their elders and you want to punish those responsible for crimes against humanity, unless they happen to speak English
Puleeze..... we're a bunch of hicks who wannabe whatever is proving popular on the day....devoid of any moral compass and a lifetime quest in avoiding responsibility.
