Pyongyang’s nuclear threats a reaction to the start of huge U.S.-South Korean military drills

The Associated Press

March 7, 2016

Oh, no! They’re gonna nuke the District of Criminals? Oh, please, for the love of gawd, don’t throw us into the Briar Patch! Not D.C.!

As for Seoul…well, Kim Jong-un really shouldn’t go around saying things like that. He’s liable to get himself in trouble.

.

Now, let’s all take a step back. And a deep, deep breath. Let’s go back 14 or 15 years. Remember this guy…

Who couldn’t tell a mobile chemical weapons laboratory from a fire truck. Airbone weapons delivery systems that were weather balloons. That vial of talcum powder. And let’s not forget…

Saddam’s Nukular Bombs. And, yes. Mission Accomplished.

.

Like Iraq in 2003, North Korea is an absolutely miserable place to live. And Iraq in 2016 is even worse. For all his bluster, Kim Jong-un isn’t going to nuke anybody. He can’t even feed his own people.

.

The U.S. government (not to be confused with the good American people) need a war. Any war. The U.S. dollar needs a good war. It always has, ever since Nixon took it off the gold standard.

.

George W. Bush may be a long-forgotten memory, but the neocons who gave the world the humanitarian nightmares in Afghanistan and Iraq are still in charge behind the scenes. They are pulling Obama’s strings while he plays golf. And they are desperate to get Hillary Clinton in the White House to keep the scam going. Because if Trump is elected, all is lost. And a lot of them will end up in prison. The people understood to be dyed-in-the-wool, unquestioned Republicans are now pushing Missus Clinton. Krystol. Krauthammer. The Kochs. Bush. Cheney. Because, at the very minimum those that don’t end up in Leavenworth or The Hague will at the very least end up being unemployed if Donald Trump takes office.

.

There are two critical facts that are worth remembering. First, all wars are bankers’ wars.

And second, if the U.S. government decides it would be a good idea to march in and take over Pyongyang, there is no way China and Russia will let that happen. But they will not stop the D.C. troops with men and guns and bombs. They (the Chinese, in particular) will stop D.C. with a phone call. And the U.S. dollar will collapse overnight.

.

Our American friends need to turn themselves away from millionaires in tights, Justin Beaver, missing young people, bathrooms for confused folk, the latest news out of Hollywood and whatever else the corporate media is spoon-feeding you people for a moment. Just a moment: For the past decade, China – both the government and the people – have been the world’s largest buyers of gold. Not the paper stuff. Not even the tungsten cores they keep in Kentucky. Real, pure, physical gold. The Russian government, despite the crippling sanctions against the people, have been coming in at a close second buying gold by the ton every month.

.

It is the mere threat of cancelling Uncle Sucker’s credit card that has kept D.C. from waging all-out war in Syria and Iran. Russia and China are happy to let the U.S. impoverish itself as it mires itself in the Middle East. But full-blown invasion and takeover are just not going to happen. This isn’t anti-Americanism. It’s reality. That’s what happens when your country (theoretically) owes over $20-trillion, going by strictly legitimate numbers. When you have to rely on the people you refer to as your enemy to continue loaning you that money, you will have to make some compromises.

.

The unfortunate fact is that if and when D.C. decides to launch a full-out invasion of North Korea – or Syria or Iran for that matter – New York City and Los Angeles will be as impoverished as Detroit and Flint. Overnight.

.

And neither Russia nor China will need to fire a single shot or launch a single missile.

.

And just a friendly reminder. When Corporate Media tells you about ISIS, remember this guy:

John McCain went to Syria. He met with ISIS. He met personally with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (aka Simon Eliot). There’s just no explaining it away.

As for the suffering people of North Korea and other despot dictatorships, nobody disagrees that they live under deplorable conditions. And when they are ready, they will take their countries back from their rulers. When the poverty becomes insufferable and the lies insulting, revolution will result. It happened in 1989 in Romania, East Germany, the other Soviet block countries and finally the Soviet Union itself.

And to our friends over at Fox News, if you want Iran to stop “capturing more Americans” thus generating more ransom payments, tell Bill Krystol to tell his people to stop sending CIA agents masquerading as hikers in the first place. Nobody with two living brain cells to rub together is going to vacation in Iran. And those Americans weren’t captured in Omaha.
