It's hard to ignore all the noise this
week from our "Really has no business being" President Donald Trump.
And while his statement on Democratic People's Republic of (North) Korea : “fire and fury like the world has never seen” if it continued threatening
the United States,' sounds bad enough, it isn't that far from
what the entire US government
actually thinks and wants.
The entire US government
has gone along with the idea that North
Korea is a "threat," totally ignoring the
threat that the US so
obviously makes towards North
Korea . It is not surprising that Venezuela is also in the cross hairs of Trump and his
imperialist oriented Republican Party.
From The New York Times: "President Trump continued to
beat war drums on Friday against North Korea and,
unexpectedly, said he would consider a military option to deal with an
unrelated crisis in Venezuela."
And of course, there is little if any
resistance to these belligerent statements from the Democratic Party.
Imperialism today is bipartisan.
While North
Korea and Venezuela have
vastly different governments, both are somewhat to the left and both stand in
the way of US imperialism and its agenda. And Trump is not just the sound of an
empty can. We can't rule out that he may attack or invade both countries. If he
does, it is not likely that anyone in our government, few if any legislators,
will actually stand up to him and try and stop him. Trump is a stooge, but he
is a dangerous stooge. It's not hard to imagine that Trump will fight for the
empire.
During the reign of George W. Bush,
another idiot who had no business running a country, North
Korea , Iraq and Iran were
labelled as an Axis of evil. One
of those countries, Iraq ,
was invaded and it is now a colony of the US empire,
complete with a puppet democracy. North
Korea had the ability to build atomic
weapons and it made perfect sense for them to do so. It may be the only reason
the US hasn't
invaded that country. US imperialism seems to want to hand over all that land
and its people over to the control of South Korea, which today is another
example of a puppet democracy, completely built
and completely dependent on the US for its survival. South
Korea has many US troops
and would likely be unable to defend itself it their northern neighbour ever
attacked them.
In August 2009, former U.S.
President Bill Clinton met with
Kim Jong Il (김정일). He was the first and last president in modern history to make any
attempt to open a dialog with North
Korea . President W. Bush reversed all dialog
with the regime. Since that time our leaders claim it was North
Korea that shut down diplomacy but that
is a lie.
The US wants
to get rid of the Northern nation and annex it as was done in East
Germany . As many of us know, the people of East
Germany were ripped off. Their state run companies were given to West
German industrialists and many former politicians were punish for the work they
did to support the regime. For years East Germans worked for less wages and
benefits than their Western counterparts.
