Pimps and Whores

The stale trans-Atlantic relationship is starting to show frays. It seems like Trump’s ‘America First’ policy is really all about ‘America over all.’

Adversaries and client states are being threatened with sanctions, tariffs and trade wars in an effort by the US regime to deal with economic troubles and record foreign trade deficits

European vassal states of the US are getting increasingly more angered by the US impositions of economic and political diktat, and are starting to talk about going on their own.

But doing so is proving difficult, and the EU has very little options to exercise.

But blaming the US for this development 70+ years in the making is not good enough. Western European countries have put themselves in this box by accepting whatever bribes, inducements, orders and demands that the US has thrown their way for decades.

What did these countries think? That the US gave them all this aid and protection out of the kindness of its black, rotten heart?

Absolutely not.

The US saw a golden opportunity to gain control a Europe weakened by the destruction of war to itself. It made promises left and right, and the desperate, tired Europeans bought it.

Did they think that the US military did all the fighting and killing during WW2 for free?

It started with the Marshall Plan, which was an aid program ran by the US after the war. Officially, it was designed to help Europe rebuild and get back on its feet.

But the real intention of the Marshall Plan aid was to subordinate and co-opt Western Europe.

In reality, Europe didn’t even need the Marshall Plan. It would’ve recovered on its own, and was already on its way when the Marshall Plan was announced.

Time went on, and the longer European countries like the UK, Germany and Italy, among others stayed in this US-created political, economic and military box, the less choices and sovereignty they had. They also became joined at the hip to such a degree that any separation will be painful and cause damage.

NATO was the first and most powerful means of exercising control over Europe. It was designed not simply to protect Western Europe from the ‘communist threat,’ it was designed to keep Europe under US military tutelage. This is something that European members of NATO must realize.

What also must be made clear is the type of relationship the US and Europe have had for the last 73 years.

This relationship can best be compared to that between a pimp and his whores.

Just like a pimp, the US protects its whores in return for their loyalty and payments. But it also feels that it can beat up on them, if they get out of line.

Now that the whores are trying to do their own thing, the US pimp is threatening them with an economic and financial slap-down; and the whores are scared.

But this is what one gets by blindly taking the side of someone for years without asking themselves, what’s the catch?

By kow-towing to the US for the past 73 years, Western European countries have gotten themselves into a bad predicament. Driven by US demands, they have already lost over a hundred billion dollars worth of trade with Russia due to the anti-Russian sanctions the US demanded that the EU pass.

Europe is now losing even more after the US regime withdrew from the JCPOA and reimposed sanctions on Iran. It has threatened Europe with economic punishment, if it doesn’t follow suit.

Now the US regime is forcing Europe to buy energy from the US for two-three times the price, or else.

The US is conducting a mafia-style shakedown of Europe, and this would not be possible if European leaders after the war would’ve been more intelligent and courageous, and kept the US at arm’s length.

Now they are trapped in a box of their own making.

The entire NATO trans-Atlantic paradigm has gotten old and stale. It’s ran by a bunch of opportunistic, lazy officials who use this rickety creation to escape accountability and personal responsibility.

For example, Germany has been doing US bidding for decades in return for US military protection. This freed up a lot of money that Germany used for economic development, making it one of the most successful countries in Europe.

Other European governments have been doing the same. But now, the US is no longer willing to cover their defense tab, and in addition is demanding that Europe pay more tribute for US ‘protection’ than Europe is comfortable with. 


However, by forcing the European NATO member-states to cough up more money to cover the aging allianece's tab, the US is creating conditions where the European NATO members will want more say, and will want a place in the top leadership.


How will the US respond when this happens? It will most likely be quite bad. De-fanging a psychotic bully used to having their own way is very dangerous.

This growing rift between Europe and the US is a sign that Europe must end the ‘special relationship’ it has had with the US. Europe must finally go its own way.

Continuing to stay in this abusive, dependent relationship has already cost Europe serious losses, and these losses will only mount the longer it stays under the US boot.

US Diplomatic Pretense

The US regime has been acting in blatantly illegal, dishonest, and undiplomatic ways because the US is losing. The US is no longer getting its way, and cannot do what it wants in the world anymore. So it kicks law, international obligations, and diplomatic civility to the curb in a desperate bid to hold on to its waning power.

All propaganda and rhetoric aside, the US establishment knows that it is in a weakened state. It knows that it cannot afford anymore major, protracted military operations. The US establishment will claim the opposite, but this is just turd-shining and self-aggrandizement to assuage their dumbed-down citizenry and cowardly vassals whose tired, shaky hands are forever outstretched for a few crumbs off of Uncle Scam’s table.

That’s why the US establishment has turned to other means of warfare, mainly sanctions, embargoes, and more recently, withdrawing from international agreements, such as the JCPOA. These are the acts of a loser, not a winner.

It has employed proxies and other dupes to do its dirty work, and has even started provoking unrest and tension between countries for its own interests, like between Iran and Saudi Wahhabia.

If the US establishment cannot get its way, it will try to keep others from getting theirs, even if there is no gain in it at all for the US regime from this grade-school strategy. Unable to stay on top, the US will try to keep everyone else at the bottom as well, whether they be a client state or foe.

The only difference is in the strategy employed. Client states get tariffs and ‘fines,’ while enemies get sanctions and bombs.

That’s why Trump will fail in his endeavor to “Make American Great Again.’ He will fail, because the entire idea is based on faulty and failed ideas and reckless actions. Trump won’t make the lives of the average American materially better. Only the wealthy will benefit.

Trump had a choice: warmongering or economic revival. He chose the former, so whatever he does is not going to work. He will finish his next two years surrounded by messes, old and new ones.

Trump, along with the US establishment, are not serious about any détente and agreement with North Korea. The US up to now has not offered anything substantial to NK in return for denuclearization, and has been doing everything to provoke NK so Trump can have an excuse, even a lame one, not to meet with Kim Jong Un.

The US establishment doesn’t want peace on the Korean peninsula. Too many of the US establishment’s members made their careers and fortunes off of having North Korea as a boogeyman, and they want to keep it that way. So it’s either the status quo or regime change for them.

But the problem is, that Kim Jong Un just won’t play along anymore. Kim seems to be becoming too hard for the US establishment to provoke these days, and he keeps on upsetting the US regime’s attempts to nix the talks by frequent peaceful overtures.

As stated in a previous post, the reason for Kim Jong Un’s political cooling off is not that the US and Trump have scared NK and Kim, or weakened NK with sanctions. If that were true, NK would have already been subdued long ago.

China and Russia may have come to some agreement with NK for economic and/or strategic partnership, should NK get rid of its nukes and sanctions are lifted. The deal is too good for Kim to pass up, so he has relaxed his hand and rhetoric knowing that the reward will be worth it.

There is also a cunning psychological-strategic dimension at work here, which the US most likely is finding hard to grapple with, and one which it can’t do much about in the long-term.

This has to do with indirect, secondary results of NK denuclearization and a peace treaty with NK.

Let’s say that NK agrees to fully and immediately give up its nuclear weapons, agrees to a robust monitoring mechanism, signs a permanent peace treaty with US/SK, and in return doesn’t even demand the withdrawal of US troops and missile systems from SK.

On the outside, this may seem like a foolish give-away by NK. However, in the long-term, this will actually diminish US military necessity and weapons sales to its client states in SK and Japan.

For if NK gets rid of its nukes and signs a peace treaty, sanctions will have to be lifted on NK. Tension and the threat of war will subside. The public in regional US client states will then realize that all these US troops, military exercises, and weapons are no longer necessary. The governments in those client states will also come to the same conclusion, and continuing to treat NK as an imminent military threat, and as an excuse to arm, will become quite awkward and unnecessary.

These countries will then decrease their participation in military exercises, and spending on US weapons systems. This won’t bode well for the US military-industrial complex and the psychopaths within the US establishment whose careers, positions, and paychecks depend on having NK as an overhyped on-going existential threat.

So for this reason, Trump and the US establishment nutcases that control him won’t allow for an agreement.

Sure, the US establishment may get China to take NK’s spot as the prime regional boogeyman so the US can have an excuse to keep its troops there, and its client states subdued and buying weapons, but people would see through the charade. The US would not look good in this case.

But even if the US moved on to China as a boogeyman, it would still to some degree lead to a diminished interest in further militarization by US client states. Antagonizing China, and treating it like NK, would not be worth it for them, or even for the US.

So this is why the only options for the US are to keep things as they are, or pursue regime change in Pyongyang.

The latter is a no-go.

Although, regime change would allow the US to declare a victory, call the shots in the former NK, and still have an excuse to harass China, without any agreement to gum up the works. Trump would look good, and the neo-cons would go into orgasms.

But the US will most likely either create an excuse to nix the talks, blame NK for it, and keep things the way they are, or play along with NK, sign a treaty, wait for NK to disarm, and then attack it; just like the US did with Iraq and Libya.

You don't have to be a political scientist or some expert strategist to see that the US has suspect motives. That's why NK cannot trust the US with any agreement that ends up being signed.

But there is an easy litmus test to gauge true US intentions toward NK, and it involves Russia and China.

What NK should do is announce its intent for a total and immediate de-nuclearization and a permanent peace treaty, in return for security guarantees backed up by Russian and Chinese military force, by treaty.

Then we shall see what the US aims really are by its reaction.

If the US reacts calmly, and accepts it as long as NK gets rid of its nukes, then the US is serious about peace on the Korean peninsula.

But if the US throws a hissy fit, refuses to meet Kim, and starts threatening NK, Russia and China with sanctions and other nonsense, then we will know for sure that the US aim is illegal regime change regardless of what happens.

What would be a good idea for NK to do is to tell the US that in return for full and immediate denuclearization and permanent peace treaty, the US must either withdraw all its troops and THAAD systems from SK, or accept irreversible Russian and Chinese military protection for NK as guarantee of NK’s security. This would nullify any and all future US attempts at regime change, and attempts to wiggle out of an agreement by falsely accusing NK of not complying with it (as the US has done with Syria and Iran).

If the US has no ulterior motives, and is truly interested in peace on the Korean peninsula, then accepting either choice should not be a problem.

But it is doubtful whether the US will accept anything that hinders its continued military presence and occupation of SK and Japan, weapons sales, or opportunity for future regime change in NK.

That’s why an agreement that will be honored by the US is highly unlikely, and any ‘security guarantees’ given by the US to NK that are not backed up by anything other than words and paper are worthless. The US never sings treaties that it can’t go around, or wiggle out of.

If Kim Jong Un agrees to such empty paper promises, then he deserves to be overthrown.

An Early Eulogy

The word on the street, and on the internet, is that Senator John ‘Insane’ McCain is very near death due to his cancerous brain.

Neo-con filth from every corner of the US is eulogizing him to the skies about his great service for the US, even before he’s gone. But they’re also wearing out their keyboards trying to silence everyone who dares to say anything negative and critical about Insane McCain, to the point of communicating a nationwide, blanket threat to all detractors.

John McCain was a pilot during the Vietnam War. He was shot down over N. Vietnam and spent 7 years in a Vietnamese prison. During that time, he gave up a lot of information to his Vietnamese captors. For this, he was nicknamed the ‘Songbird.’

After that, he ran for the US senate and spent many terms there.

Judging by his abnormal behavior while in office, it is abundantly clear that McCain suffered some type of brain and/or psychological damage in Vietnam (of his own fault since he willingly served in the military) that went untreated. This resulted in aberrant and off-the-wall behavior. From being a part of the ‘Keating Five’ S&L scandal, to supporting jihadists and Ukrainian fascists, to passing on fake, slanderous information, this man is a walking garbage can of dirty Washington politics and international war-mongering. He is the poster-boy for all that is wrong with the US establishment.

McCain was a staunch hawk on Capitol Hill. He never met a war and armed intervention he didn’t like. The war party and the military-industrial complex could always count on him to deliver the votes and propaganda for any and all aggression that the establishment wanted, anywhere in the world.

McCain’s public demeanor reminds one of a demented, unapologetic, remorseless serial killer who calmly and nonchalantly explains and justifies his acts of murder as if they were somehow right and just.

McCain, through his support, votes, and advocacy for US interventions worldwide, is responsible for the death and oppression of hundreds of millions of people throughout his sorry life.

John McCain is a disgusting ghoul, and his impending death cannot be used to make him look like any kind of a hero or saint. He is neither. Even after he’s dead and buried, his corpse must be continuously exposed to daylight for all the war crimes and acts of murder he has helped commit while alive. Such a monster can never, ever be let off the hook.

A Trump Presidency Post-Mortem

Now that Trump is politically dead, it is a good time to consolidate the sum of all his actions from January of 2017 to now.

When it comes to things being too good to be true, Trump certainly fits the bill. 

The Trump we saw and heard two years ago is gone. No more 'getting along with other nations', with Russia, or North Korea. No more anti-war talk from Trump the candidate.

In reality, Trump's act of caring about working people and wanting to get along with other nations never really seemed genuine. It sounded nice, but under the surface it just didn't look right coming from him.

With the exception of his family and the zionut state, Trump simply doesn’t care about anyone, friend or foe. He doesn’t take anyone’s concerns seriously, and ignores the facts. His foes get sanctions and live bombings, while his vassals are bombarded with political and economic threats.

I doubt Trump is serious about making a deal with NK. If he was, he wouldn’t withdraw from the JCPOA. Maybe by doing so, Trump is trying to show NK not to expect anything, or maybe even to provoke NK into nixing any and all talks, thereby giving the US war mongers an excuse to enact more sanctions, and relieve them of having to worry about any kind of peace that may mean decreased US military involvement-and spending-on the Korean peninsula.

The US establishment has gone as far as daring to complain and whine that any peace agreement would lead to the lifting of sanctions on NK, and prevent the US from conducting military strikes on NK in the future,-as if these were bad things. You really have to wonder about the mental state of people who employ such deranged, Caligulan reasoning.

What is it that these sick US creatures want? For North Korea to unconditionally surrender, and be bombed? And maybe at the same time, too.

Seems far-fetched?

Let’s not forget that these are the same people who just withdrew from the JCPOA, will re-impose sanctions on Iran (even though Iran has complied with the terms of the agreement), while demanding that Iran keep to the agreement , or else.

We even have the congress critter Robert Menendez complain that by withdrawing from the JCPOA Trump is ‘endangering Israel,’ even though everyone knows that the zionist entity has been against this deal and wanted it killed even before it was signed three years ago! What planet are these congressional retards from?

So now their reasoning will go something like this: Ignoring the fact that Iran has complied with the deal, Trump withdrew from it. Congress will argue that by doing so, Trump has endangered the Zionist entity, and that now the US must take action against Iran to protect the Zionist entity, regardless of whether Iran leaves the agreement or not.

They will turn the Iranian victim into the criminal, and the US and Zionist criminals into victims. 

The scenario which I mentioned in a past essay after the JCPOA was signed, was that the US will try to get itself off the hook of complying with the agreement and will reinstate sanctions, while forcing Iran to comply with the agreement. In the end, Iran does all the giving while US ends up having not to give anything. This scenario is coming to pass.

There is no knowing what the world can expect from these mentally sick people within the US government.

Trump is a shallow strategist who has surrounded himself with mentally unstable neo-cons and failed military men whose worldview is twisted and wrong, and who are responsible for past US military and strategic failures.

These people won’t help Trump. They will march him into another failed debacle that will make America hated again. Even his vassals will end up distancing themselves from him.

If Trump continues with his present irresponsible and regressive policies and actions, he will be disgraced just like Bush was, if not worse. And when that day comes, all the neo-cons he surrounded himself with that gave him terrible advice, will scurry away into the safety of dark and fetid corners of their neo-con think tanks and newspapers, and leave the Dotard alone to pick up the pieces. Society will turn on him, including many of his supporters.

His enemies on the Democratic Party side will have a field day bashing him every minute of every day for his failures. All the establishment creatures who hated him from day one, and brow-beat him into submission, will say to everyone ‘We told you so!’

He may even end up impeached.

His rotten, subhuman Zionist pals like PM Bibi and Sheldon Adelson won’t save him. They will just move on to their next faithful Shabbos goy president who will continue doing their bidding.

Whatever Trump does or doesn’t do, he will fail. An array of forces has lined up against the US in the military and economic domains that the US cannot defeat.

What we are seeing is desperation by the US establishment to shore up its dwindling power and authority. But their acts will only speed up their loss of power.

As I have stated in a past essay, the US is losing its power and influence, and Trump will choose how much, and how fast of that power and influence will be lost-slowly by pursuing peaceful policies and retaining something, or quickly by warmongering and losing it all.

And Trump better not try to excuse any of his failures away later on by blaming someone else, or that he was pressured. Pleading cowardice cannot, and will not save him.

Trump The Dealbreaker

Because of the malign influence of the US, more and more countries are having trouble thinking for themselves and making independent, rational decisions.

Those who welcomed the illegal airstrikes on Syria based on hear-say and unverified evidence-or no evidence at all-are US vassals and client states who have blood on their hands, so they have to toe the Washington line, or else. Many wrongs don't make a right, no matter how many fools support it.

The US will push the envelope, if they see no strong reaction. So Russia must do something other than condemn and talk facts, as these criminal western morons are immune to it.

Trump, May, Macron. These three stooges of the west are facing failures and debacles at home. They needed a distraction to shore up their dwindling political fortunes. So the Skripal and Syria poison gas attack canards were manufactured to do just that.

But those efforts won't succeed. Policies based on lies cannot succeed because they contradict reality and facts, and as much as the deluded US regime thinks it can change reality, it can’t; hence why all their regime change efforts have brought nothing but misery, and growth of the very terrorism the US says it is fighting. And for this reason, the US remains the world’s main purveyor of terrorism, whether it likes it or not.

The US attack on Syria was a desperate face-saving measure done after the US already lost its regime change war there. Its Trump’s 15 minutes of fame which will recede as next week comes and all his private foibles come to light.

Trump no longer deserves any sympathy from anyone. Let the deep state have his way with him. He is a used-up whore at this point, and is toxic to the touch. He became a war criminal last year after he ordered a missile strike on Syria after another staged chemical gas attack launched by rebels and blamed on the Syrian forces.

Trump has betrayed his supporters, and many will turn his back on him. His only ‘allies’ at the moment are the neo-cons and Bush-era failures with whom he has foolishy surrounded himself with.

Trump announced ‘Mission accomplished’ in Syria, reminiscent of Bush’s rhetoric in 2003. But what happened after Bush made that statement? He lost, big time. His whole regime change fantasy became a nightmare.

There was no long-term value to Trump’s latest temper tantrum. The US regime has no proxies on the ground to do its dirty work, and antagonizing the Russians by pushing anymore fake atrocity propaganda will not end well for The Dotard.

Trump has squandered a golden opportunity to truly improve the state of the world. He allowed himself to be co-opted by the deep state by being a coward and not standing up for himself and his allies after the deep state falsely accused him of being a Russian plant.

Then he sought poisonous advice from Zionist and neo-con animals and started taking the easy but wrong way forward, hoping that this will make his problems go away. But it won’t.

Trump is now alone, surrounded by demented neo-cons, and by stale old compliant European client state pawns who’ve stuck to the US like flies to shit, no matter how harmful it is to them.

What a poor company he keeps!

Maybe the reason why the US and zionistan constantly bring up Hitler in movies, documentaries and books, even though he’s been dead for almost 80 years, is that they’re diverting attention from their own crimes. The US pushes the line that it defeated Hitler, without mentioning Russia’s much greater commitment to that effort, and also omitting the fact that the US elites sympathized with, and worked with Nazi Germany up until, and after hostilities between the US and Germany began.

So there is a lot to cover up; not atone for, though. The US never atones or apologizes for the evil it does. It just excuses it away, dresses it up in a false mantle of benevolence and ‘concern for humanity,’ or blames other for it.

US, NATO, and the western-controlled financial institutions comprise the world's premier and most powerful terror network. Al Qaeda, ISIS, Al Nusra et al are just dusty little subsidiaries and contract fighters.

In order for the US to get its regime change in Syria, it would have to go to war with Syria, Iran, and Russia all at the same time, and win; and I'm not talking about the US engaging in pot-shots at the periphery, dirty tricks, false flags, staged gas attacks, and the CIA playing footsy with terror groups. That's just a waste of time. It would have to be an all-out physical war and open attack. Obviously that is not going to happen, so the US has lost.

The Skripal and Syria frauds are starting to show holes. The emotional reactions caused by the frauds are winding down, and there are still enough intelligent people in the world to ask uncomfortable questions. As expected, holes are starting to show in the whole gas attack. People who were there have come forward stating that there was no gas attack and that the whole thing was an act, with them being unwittingly caught up in the fraud.

And while this is welcome, it is also dangerous.

The pattern so far has been that whenever the US gets caught in a lie, it does something worse to cover it up.

The scary thing is what will the US stoop to in Syria now that their gassing myth is being exposed as a fraud and the air strikes were a failure? Will the US continue to fire missiles at Syria that will get shot down? If this keeps on happening, the US, out of frustration, may target Russian bases in Syria. They’ll say it was an ‘accident’ and ‘unintentional’ in order to get themselves off the hook and keep the Russians from retaliating. But if Russia retaliates, the US will accuse Russia of an act of aggression for an ‘honest mistake.’

This is the kind of psychopathic behavior we can expect from the US.


US TARIFF WAR

The EU is considering enacting tariffs on Chinese-made imports in cooperation with the US in order to be exempt from US tariffs.

This is a bad idea with will backfire on the EU.

The US will end up taking the EU for a very rough ride. Also, why is the EU willing to ruin relations with an emerging world power for the sake of a fading one? Doesn't the EU see that all these sanctions, embargoes, and tariffs against China, Russia, Iran and others are aimed at weakening the EU along with everyone else for the sake of the US? And why isn't the EU threatening its own tariffs on US made stuff? It would make more sense for the EU to join forces with China against the US.

EU will definitely suffer, if it goes after China, which will undoubtedly slap EU imports with tariffs as well.

The sum of all these US-made problems, from Skripal, Syria, tariffs, will be a weakened US, and an angry and alienated world. The US will achieve zero in doing all this, and as always will blame others when things go south.

The fact is that the US industrial base has been gutted and it isn’t coming back, no matter what Trump does. He is just there temporarily.

Neither will US corporations disengage from China. The US would have to change drastically in order for a real ‘America First’ policy to be realized. The US would have to produce its own things, impose tariffs on imports, and pay people better so they will be able to afford US-made products.

This won’t happen, as greed has rotted out the US from top to bottom.

All that this is about is that China represents a multilateral economic model which is opposed to the US unilateral one. China is making alliances and arrangements all over the world and benefitting from them. It is using its profits to modernize and advance. It is also starting to dump the dollar and buy/sell oil in Yuan, not dollars. It is doing this with Russia, Iran and others.

This is why the US is upset with all three. They are undermining US military and economic supremacy, not ‘security.’ 


IRAN
 
When the US wants to break its treaty commitments, or nullify them for whatever reason, it does so by falsely accusing the other side of breaking it. This is usually accompanied by some form of a false flag or disinformation campaign that is  meant to demonize the other party, and scare/shock everyone else into nullifying it as well.

This was visible in Syria with multiple unproven accusations of chemical weapons use by Syrian forces, even though Syria gave up its chemical and biological weapons in 2013.

The US is currently trying to come up with an excuse to walk away from the JCPOA by falsely accusing Iran of secretly trying to build nuclear weapons. The US also used Iran's missile program as an excuse to walk away from the ABM treaty in 2002 and build a missile shield aimed at Russia, even though Iran's missiles pose no threat to Europe.

After the US signed the JCPOA, the missile defense project lost its justification, but very quickly North Korean missiles were named as an excuse for its existence.

The US has built up many layers of lies and false justifications, and it is absurd that it hasn't yet been seriously called out for it.

The US has played these games before with Iraq between 1991-2003. Whenever they demanded something of Iraq, and Iraq relented, the US moved on to demand something more. The US was always moving the goalposts further and further away with each Iraqi concession. It will be the same with Iran if Russia, China and the EU cave in to the US pressure and make changes to the JCPOA. The US will demand that Iran scrap its missile program. If Iran does this, then the US will demand something else, and on and on. Everything that Iran does to comply will never be enough for the US. This will eventually lead to the Iraq and Libya scenarios: disarm and destroy.

US and zionistan have no case against Iran, just a bunch of hype and false accusations. Iran has stuck to the JCPOA faithfully, and this-more than any looney slideshows by nitwityahoo-will decide the agreement's future.

As for Trump's whining that this deal is 'terrible,' why is it terrible? Has he given any solid, valid reasons why the deal is bad for the US? 

Just because the US didn't get everything it wanted from it and couldn't saddle Iran with ALL the giving, doesn't mean its a bad deal. No one got everything they wanted from it. It was a compromise. Doesn't Trump realize that in a normal world you don't always get what you want? 

Trump is acting like a baby, and needs a diaper change.

A Peace that Won't Be

The thaw between South and North Korea and a possible, planned meeting between Trump and Kim Jong Un has been big news lately. 

South Korea's President Moon and Kim have met, and promises were made to improve relations, and end North Korea's nuclear testing.

To the starry-eyed, it looks like the two Koreas, along with the US, will finally make peace and stop threatening each other.

But let's not forget that the South Korean regime, regardless of its smiles, is descended from the right-wing dictatorship of Syngman Rhee, the ex-Japanese collaborator-turned-puppet of the US military occupation forces. People with the same mentality are still in power in South Korea, and it is doubtful that they will allow any improvement in relations. Like their US counterparts, these right-wing South Korean Rhee acolytes have made their fortunes and careers on having North Korea as an enemy.

It’s difficult to believe that there will be any reconciliation/peace/unity breaking out. These things go against US interests of countering China. The US wants a permanent military presence in Korea to serve as a base of operations against whoever the US deems an enemy for whatever reason.

Trump's eagerness for peace is not serious, regardless of how many Tweets to the contrary he sends. Let's not forget that this is the same guy who a month ago bombed a country based on false pretexts, and has recently appointed John Bolton and Mike Pompeo to important posts. These two misfits were behind the illegal and criminal war on Iraq and the torture scandals. There is nothing good to expect from the Trump regime at all.

History by now has shown us that once the US occupies an area, they don’t leave. It’s been 73 years since WW2 ended, yet the US military is still occupying Germany. This occupation has now spread to Eastern Europe under the guise of ‘countering Russian aggression.’ It’s been 15 years since the Iraq invasion, yet US is still there, with no signs it will ever leave.

The US has gotten too entrenched in South Korea to just get up and leave, regardless of what NK will do. It serves US interests to be there, and the interests of the military-industrial complex, not to mention the career prospects of all the US generals, officers, and CIA spooks. Too many careers and paychecks are riding on the US remaining on the Korean peninsula, and everywhere else they’re squatting.

Even if Kim Jong Un ends up meeting Trump, it will go down something like this, or close to it:

1. Kim and Trump sit down to talk

2. Trump makes outrageous demands that he knows NK won’t accept, while he offers nothing worthwhile in return

3. Kim says NO. Then he counters that US must sign a permanent peace treaty and end all acts of aggression, end to sanctions, including military exercises close to NK’s borders and/or removal of US troops from SK in return for complete NK nuclear and missile disarmament

4. SK president sits there like a quiet little vassal with no say-so, and acquiesces to whatever the US says

5. The entire meeting turns into a fiasco, everyone walks out, and tensions not only stay but go up

6. US regime and all western media go into ‘Blame it all on Kim’ overdrive for the failure of the meeting

7. Kim restarts nuke and missile testing and Trump threatens military action

This is what we can expect. And the blame for any failures will rest on the US, which will refuse to give up an inch, but will demand a mile from NK.

The US establishment doesn’t want peace on the Korean peninsula. They most likely want a Libya-type scenario.

The meeting will be used to cajole NK into giving up its main deterrent, disarming, letting in ‘inspectors’ who will most likely feature spies from every god-damn US intelligence agency in existence. These people will look under every rock, identify any and all important targets for bombing, report back to their US regime bosses, who will then make up some false flag implicating NK, then attack NK-which at that point will be defenseless.

What the US ultimately wants is to get rid of Kim Jong Un, annex NK by force to SK, then move up US troops all the way to the Chinese border.

The US doesn’t honor its treaty commitment. The examples of Iraq, Libya, and Trump’s present threat to walk away from the JCPOA are clear signs that North Korea cannot trust the US.

Kim Jong Un seems to be quite involved in a peaceful solution, and has stopped issuing insults toward the Dotard.

But it is most likely not because sanctions and US threats have worked.

What may be going on here is that China’s Premier Xi had a talk with Kim, and NK was promised very beneficial economic opportunities and OBOR/Silk Road integration in return for doing something to shut the US up, so that sanctions are lifted and the two can get back to business. 

The US regime, Trump, and his deranged walrus mustache advisor won't get anything for free from North Korea. The problem on the Korean peninsula was, is, and will be the US, not NK or Kim. The US doesn’t honor its agreements, so that's one thing that will definitely be a stumbling block.

Even IF the US agrees to make some major concessions that NK could accept, it will most likely be a ruse. What the US may do is make promises to NK, but require that NK first disarm and do whatever the US wants, and only after that the US will deliver on its part. This may take years. But a short while from the deadline, the US will stir up some false flags, and claim that NK is not living up to the agreement-even if NK does-and use that as an excuse to walk away from the agreement, and take military action against NK. 

This type of scenario is very likely, and if there actually is an agreement with NK like this, and the US demands that the UN approve it under Chapter 7 of the UN charter, then the regime change scenario will be guaranteed. 

A prophetic warning of this very possibility has already come from none other than John Bolton, Trump's rabid neo-con national security advisor. He has already stated that a disarmament agreement with North Korea could be based on the disarmament agreement with Libya. And we all know what happened to Libya and its leader Muammar Ghaddafi after he 'disarmed.'

The US establishment is intellectually and morally incapable of making a genuine peace with North Korea without any evil ulterior motives.

The stench of future US betrayal of NK will be thick in the air at whatever venue these two will meet.

A Dotard and His Bombs

The end-result of all the Skripal and Syrian chemical attack fakery has led the US and its feckless vassals to bomb Syria, without any shred of credible evidence to justify their criminal and illegal action.

All the US had was ‘open social media’ information; as if that can’t be faked!

Notice that this attack came right before the OPCW was to arrive in Douma to investigate the scene of the alleged chemical weapons attack. This alone looks strange.

What does the US have to hide? After all, if the US and its vassals were so sure that Syria did launch a chemical attack, they would’ve sat and waited for the guilty verdict before they did anything.

That the US rushed to act before the verdict was in shows us that they were worried about the facts getting out, and those facts would’ve contradicted all US accusations. After all, didn’t ‘Mad Dog’ say some months ago that US could not verify if Syria actually gassed anybody? So there you have it-US likes to shoot first, and ask questions later.

This seems to be a prevailing problem in the US today-verdict before proof. The US rush to punish Syria, or some other country for committing a crime they did not commit is just an extension of the same problem faced by people in the US who find themselves at the mercy of ‘US justice,’ from small county courts all the way to the white house.

There is no shortage of stories of people in the US being sentenced to years, or decades in jail only to be proven innocent after the fact.

In desperation, poor people that cannot afford a good lawyer are forced to admit to crimes they didn’t commit just to escape a longer sentence.

This same verdict before guilt, and forced confession culture extends all the way to relations with other countries.

Russia and Syria are the latest victims of this. But before them there was Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya; countries that were bombed or destroyed by the US and their criminal henchmen on the basis of false flags, false accusations and lies.

But no one should have any illusion about the success of this airstrike, or lack thereof.

Over 70 of the 103 missiles launched at Syria by the US, UK, and France, the three most powerful members of NATO, did not reach their targets. They were either shot down by Syrian air defenses using 30+ year-old Soviet-made S-200 anti-missile systems, or electronically jammed by Russia. This will not go unnoticed by the pentagoons.

It seems western technology is not that effective. Trump’s shiny, new, smart missiles were fried before impact.

Also, not all NATO members participated in the attack.

This attack was a strategic failure, and no one will ever know exactly why it was carried out. Was it to save Trump’s, May’s, and man-boy Macron’s political fortunes in the face of domestic troubles? Was it an angry reaction to Syrian and Russian successes? Was it an attempt to destroy Trump by making him do something misguided against Syria and Russia, or an attempt to goad Russia to do something to destroy Trump? Was it simply an expensive fireworks show to satisfy western defense contractor and Wall St. profit margins? Was it to hide other domestic US crimes and corruption? These are all possibilities.

This attack merely aggravated the Syrians, but it was no decisive blow to anyone but maybe Trump’s future.

This attack will only solidify and enhance Syrian-Russian cooperation and success. Add that the US avoided targeting any place where Russians were stationed, alone shows that the US is afraid of Russia’s reaction. The US didn’t even dare lob one solitary missile at any peripheral Russian targets as a cheapshot, like it did at the Chinese embassy in Belgrade during the terror bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, shows that the US is scared.

The people who will pay the price will be the fools who ordered this atrocity, not Putin, not Assad, not anyone in Iran. Trump and his useless cohorts may get a bump at the polls for a minute, but that will dissipate. He has betrayed many of his supporters who voted for him mainly because he did not want to intervene in other nations’ affairs.

Trump has committed an act of cowardice. He has become a war-monger just like Bush, and will be disgraced just like Bush was.

Russia is playing the long-game in Syria, and as long as it is there, US has no good chance of succeeding. One interesting thing about this attack that no one yet has brought up is the absence of any sudden rebel offensive. Could it be that Trump has tired of supporting jihadists? Yes, he’s using their bullshit lies as a pretext for aggression to make himself feel better, but he’s not helping them in any way. That alone says volumes.

This whole fake Skripal poisoning and Syrian chemical attack allegations, and now this useless bombing were all manufactured to pressure Russia and Syria into making political and strategic concessions. But Russia won’t negotiate under pressure.

But nevertheless, the ball is now in Russia’s court. There must be a reaction to this, and a very significant one.

Russia needs to supply Syria and Iran with better air defense systems and other equipment, and training that will increase the effectiveness of their forces ability to knock out enemy aircraft to the point where most, or no enemy attacks are successful.

Better yet move would be if Russia, China, Iran and Syria organize a defense pact, and Syria and Iran go under the Russian nuclear umbrella. This would end once and for all any further US adventurism.

But something must be done, or else the fake atrocity propagandists will be back for more, the next time Syria wins a victory. 

What Russia and Syria did to the western-sponsored Wahhabi freaks in the last two years makes any US airstrikes look like pebble-throwing; a poor substitute. This will not change.

But let's conclude this essay with Trump's words from 5 years ago. He was so right then, but so wrong now.
