Defied?
I was unaware that Washington served in a paternal role in North Korean affairs. It is an independent country, fairly looking to its own defences.
I am certainly no admirer of North Korea, but I understand their fears. When you have nuclear weapons and capable missiles, you don't end up like Iraq.
With all the flap artificially generated by Washington over this event, people lose sight of some real facts.
The U.S. remains the only country ever actually to use nuclear weapons. It used them twice, both times on civilians.
Younger readers may not know that during the Korean Conflict General MacArthur was ready to use nuclear weapons on China. He was more than psychologically ready, he pushed hard and planned the attack out. Thank God, reason prevailed.
And MacArthur's intended use of nuclear weapons followed on his advance to the Yalu River, an act which the Chinese had long before warned they must regard as a threat to the security of China.
The only country in the world literally to take over another country in recent years, again, is the United States.
The only country in the world that maintains a large and secret nuclear arsenal is America's subsidized client, Israel, and it maintains this arsenal in perhaps the most sensitive part of our planet, casting a threatening shadow for a thousand miles around and inciting others to follow its example for their own safety.
