New York Times and How to Appease - North Korean Crisis Update 4 - North Korean Crisis

The New York Times: Has the following editorial view of the North Korean Crisis, " Tougher sanctions, coupled with Mr. Tillerson’s continued efforts at a diplomatic solution, are the best path to a peaceful end to this conflict. That is what Mr. Trump should also be focused on. Engaging in a war of words with North Korea only makes it harder for both sides to de-escalate. "

Lets Get Real:

This is typical of the US / UK mainstream press and TV, in the past the UBER liberal  NYT covered for Stalin, if the NYT editorial board had run US foreign policy the Berlin Wall would be still be up, the Liberals NEVER want to fight for America, they just want to defend the other nation, very much like the BBC at times.   Sometimes you have to FIGHT, this is not a post arguing for War with North Korea, quite the reverse, but there are limits, one hopes that NK will back down and not launch missiles at Guam, but what if they DO.   Then the Trump Oval would have to do something, otherwise the US will look wean when faced by North Korea, also could US allies trust that the US would come to protect them if the US is seen as weak with North Korea.   Think Russia, Iran, you get the idea, sometimes you have to bite the bullet and be aggressive.   Democracy has to be protected, otherwise it dies. 

North Korea on Guam - North Korea Crisis Update 3 - North Korean Crisis

Guardian: Reports " North Korea details Guam strike plan and calls Trump 'bereft of reason'..Pyongyang says it will launch four missiles into waters ‘30-40km’ off US territory in Pacific Ocean "

Lets Get Real:

One can assume that US Intelligence will have its ears and eyes open to any North Korean launch, the question is will POTUS hit the missiles before they are launched, that of course could lead to a regional war, or hit the missiles in flight, that could lead to a regional war, take no action and face Impeachment from the very same people who are critical of him now, not great choices for any President.   Of course this could be all rhetoric from NK, that causes a problem for NK, what if they do not launch, they will be seen as all bluster and no sabre.   Thus the sides have to be careful they do not box themselves in to a corner, who will blink first. 

North Korea on Trump - North Korea Update 2 - North Korean Crisis

Daily Mail: Reports " 'Trump is bereft of reason... and SENILE': One of Kim Jong-un's top generals launches astonishing attack on US president as North Korea threatens missile strike on Guam 'within days' "

Lets Get Real:

The present North Korean Crisis could go two ways, in the past when the region has gone hot the US and North Korea talk and find ways to kick the ball in to the future, the next option is not good, North Korean Elite get CNN, BBC News and might think that the US would never act if it hit the waters around Guam, this would be a mistake, a US President would have to react, think JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis, a US President can not afford to have the US under threat from North Korea.   Thus next step, should NK launch missiles, one can expect that either Japan or the US will shoot down the missiles.  The next question is what will NK do should its missiles be shot down, that is an open question, if they have a brain they should do nothing, the next fews shall be interesting. 

Will North Korea Attack Guam ? - North Korean Crisis

BBC News: Reports " North Korea says a plan that could see it fire four missiles near the US territory of Guam will be ready in a matter of days. "

Lets Get Real:

One can only that North Korea is using hot rhetoric in its war of words with the US, IF NK did launch missiles at the waters around Guam a US President would have to react, otherwise he would be impeached or lose re-election.  The mainstream media is not helping, CNN, BBC News make North Korea and the US equal, their dislike of Trump shines through, this might send the wrong message to NK, they might chance, throw missiles at the waters around Guam and dare the US to react.   The North Korean Crisis could be WORSE than the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.  POTUS is not JFK, he can not sell out Turkey, in this case it would be South Korea or Japan. 

North Korea and Sanctions - Update 3 - North Korean Crisis

The Washington Post: Reports the following on the UN sanctions of North Korea, " North Korea exploits illicit supply networks, individual states don’t implement sanctions fully and private-sector firms can often undermine them..."

Lets Get Real:

There are only so many times the UN and the US can go for sanctions, sooner or later, and the Trump Oval hopes later someone in the Oval Office will have to take action, the threat of North Korea is unnerving South Korea and Japan, and in many respects China, if NK falls apart there will be millions of refugees coming in to China.   The World has to be united against NK or we are heading for a NUCLEAR WAR in ASIA,  and radiation does not care about borders.  The World waits, who will blink first. 

North Korean Update 2 - North Korean Crisis

The New York Times: Reports on the UN sanctions on North Korea,  " But it is unclear at best, experts on sanctions say, whether the measures will hinder North Korea’s nuclear militarization or even crimp its economy. "

Lets Get Real:

IF the UN sanctions on North Korea do not work then the World has a major problem on its hands, it would only take for NK to test another nuclear device that could be placed on a missile for the US to attack, the Trump Administration will never allow North Korea to become a major threat to the US, it would cost Trump re-election in 2020.  The Trump Oval should get Japan to ask for the bomb from the US, then this could be used as a bargain chip with North Korea, rid itself of nuclear aims, bombs and ICBM's, on the ground inspection, and tough sanctions would only be removed over time, and Japan would delay getting the bomb.  The clock to Midnight is coming!!

North Korea Update - North Korean Crisis

Guardian: Reports " North Korea's nuclear threat at a 'new stage', warns Japan...Defence paper said it was possible that the regime was able to miniaturise a nuclear warhead to load it on to a missile "

Lets Get Real:

The US has to get Japan to go nuclear, the North Koreans need to understand if they carry on with their nuclear ability they will seen an ancient enemy with the bomb, and their bomb will come from the US.   One can postulate that North Korea wants direct talks with the US, the problem with that idea is that North Korean has broken its word before, and the US and the West want NK to give up any nuclear aims, this is will be seen as surrender by the NK regime, but they control the ALL the press in NK, they could spin it as a win for NK if they wanted too.   The question is how far will NK push their aims, if they go too far we could see a major nuclear war in Asia.
