What You Should Know About North Korea, But Don’t

Once again, as in the run-up to the war in Iraq, mainstream media is misleading you by not reporting key facts that are relevant to the continuing North Korean saga.

To believe North Korea is a threat to the US is sheer nonsense and defies logic. North Korea has perhaps a handful of nuclear bombs, does not have the ability to miniaturize them, and no way to deliver them to the US. Even if they did, they are surrounded by US atomic weapons and would be annihilated in a nanosecond if they dared to attack the US. The US spends more on war and weapons than all nations on earth combined, has 10,000 nuclear weapons, while impoverished North Korea, confronted with starvation, would be the ultimate mismatch in the history of the planet. To suggest North Korea is a military threat to the US is ridiculous, irrational, and intellectually insulting.

Media argues however, the leader of North Korea is a madman and capable of doing crazy things. Sound familiar? Remember Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, General Manuel Noriega? All one time allies of, and supported by the US, until they accidentally went “crazy”. See a pattern here? Step one in a run-up to war: demonize the enemy. Do you buy into it?

This is good common sense journalism and not fear mongering propaganda.  Good work Joe Clifford. -Mort
