Look at a satellite map at night, and see the bright lights all over the world. Except Venezuela and North Korea anyway, whose countries are as black as the surrounding night. Both are ruled by low IQ dictators who have bedazzled much of their populations and of course their militaries who obey in lock step. Venezuela’s people have had enough of it and are regularly rioting and demanding an election. Not so in North Korea, whose Kim Jong Um has them all fooled into submission, and they actually seem to be happy about it so far. Since a good deal of them are starving, the deference may not last forever.
How in the world did North Korea ever get the makings of atom bombs in the first place, since they are so backward? It goes back to October of 1950, when The Soviet Union gave North Korea a crude nuclear electric generating station. As years passed, Pakistan became a nuclear power, but had no idea of how to make a missile. North Korea had acquired a few crude missiles from Egypt, took them apart, figured how they worked, and duplicated them. Pakistan agreed to exchange their bomb making ability, for North Korea’s missile knowledge, as primitive as it was. North Korea shopped diligently around the world for the necessary machinery and equipment to make a bomb, and was helped by China, who I am certain, now regrets it. North Korea studied all the literature available on atomic energy, and there are lots of it. They gradually got the hang of it, and as of today, North Korea can make a bomb about the strength of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which ended World War Two. They continue to study and work at both missiles and bomb development.
For some strange reason, communist dictators haven’t even a first grade knowledge of basic economics and common sense. In Venezuela, their dictator recently seized a G.M. plant, throwing 2900 more out of work and the benefits of 2900 employees who paid taxes. Common sense would have indicated that seizing all the oil wells and refineries over the last dozen years would have dire consequences, but commies never seem to have any sense. Venezuela was once South America’s wealthiest nation, exported food, and now, under its president Maduro, can’t grow enough to feed itself. Venezuelans are starving, and the average citizen has lost 19 pounds. Its inflation rate is estimated to be 720%. In North Korea, isn’t it obvious to all but the numb nuts Kim Jong Um that if they sent a nuclear armed missile and bombed any nation, and especially the U.S., they would be incinerated quickly? It is so obvious, but both dictators seem to be possessing I.Q.s of maybe 85, or at the most 90.
Why does North Korea want to destroy America, and not Japan which is far closer, or maybe the Philippines? Is it pure jealousy over our freedom, high living standards and brains, which have invented much of all that literally has ever been invented in the world? Maybe it is because the U.S. still has 27,000 soldiers in South Korea, which should have been removed 65 years ago. Maybe it is because the U.S. provokes the North with our yearly war games off their shore? Their limited intelligence may think this is a threat to their starving population. Their skin and bones, beautifully uniformed, military, are in total subservience to that fat dope with the silly haircut. Would the threat disappear if America removed U.S. soldiers, stopped playing war, and removed economic sanctions? Do they have the basic intellect to realize that America wants no part of North Korea, but despises threats to our existence?
Actually, why is it any of our business, which I am sure started the whole thing when we mistakenly got into the Korean War. That war killed over 50,000 American soldiers. We should have NEVER gotten into Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan. From page 151, chapter 45 of “I Hold These Truths,” is this paragraph. “If we were neutral, we would have but a fraction of the armed forces we now have, all soldiers would be on our shores, we would provide no foreign aid, give no advice, mind our own business, not be a member of the U.N., and undoubtedly prosper more than our wildest dreams could ever conceive.” Like that? From “Consequences,” page 228, “You have read Mort Walker’s comic strip ‘Beetle Bailey,’ if you’re ancient like me. In his strip of June 22, 1997, the Sarge tells his men, “We’re on red alert. We may be shipped out any minute.” Beetle asks, “Where?” Sarge answers, “Zberk, the Dufus are attacking the Zilks.” Beetle says, “What has that to do with us?” Sarge answers, “Someone has to be a policeman to stop these people from killing each other.” Then the usual fight begins after Beetle says, “THEN CALL A COP.” My comment on the next page is, “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn, if all the Hutus kill all the Tutsis or vice versa, or if the comic strip Dufus kill all the Zilks. Don’t send American troops there.” Another paragraph this chapter titled “Neutrality,” is: “Remember our expensive, absurd, failure in Somalia? Our billion dollars spent in Haiti hasn’t changed that backward little place a bit, other than to destroy the jobs it did have before we decided to ‘reform’ them. There was little reason for us to enter W.W. I, as it was almost over before we got into it. A heinous crime by Woodrow Wilson.” The final sentence in “Neutrality” is, “The Constitution says America is to “Provide for the common defense,” and this cannot be interpreted to mean overseas.”
