The United States juggernaught has become so powerful in regards to other countries that the only way to confront them is with nuclear weapons. This is THE LESSON from both Gulf Wars. I am not debating on whether we should have recieved the "permission slip" only that there are ramifications of buckling the world order.
Ok, so your point is clear.
The
excuse is that N Korea must defend itself from the imperialistic US. However, that fails on all accusations:
1. N Korea has no oil. Ergo, even Pacifica fans would have to concede there is nothing in N Korea for the US to covet.
or
2. The US really had no plans to invade N Korea.
Logical conclusion: The N Korea excuse holds no water. It is BS.
SO, what is the more likely reason N Korea has those weapons?
Well, it's seen communist USSR fall.
It sees Cuba about to revert to capitalism after Castro dies.
It saw Germany reunited...NOT under communism.
N Korea is starving, while S Korea is fluorishing...
Conclusion, N Korea's last ditch effort at survival is the imperialism that it projects on the 'evil' US!
Communism does NOT work, despite what a few remaining academicians want folks to believe. It can only survive by gorging on those systems that do produce and sustain wealth. And it does that best by FORCE.
