Tensions in the Korean Peninsula



Who is threatening who? Who is the provocateur? Who is the cause of rising tension in the Peninsula?

If you read the western media, the answer is obvious, it must be the North Koreans. Last week’s first page headline in MyPaper carries a report by Reuters, ‘Tensions rise as North Korea threatens US again’.

What is the truth? North Korea tested its rockets to launch its own satellites. The Americans accused the North Koreans of testing missile technology. So threatened sanction against North Korea. But the Americans have been doing the same year after year and with a complete arsenal of missiles carrying nuclear warheads is ok.

Similarly, when the North Koreans tested their nascent nuclear bombs again the Americans threatened the same and Japan even talked about pre emptive strike against North Korea. Who is threatening who and raising tension? Why is it that the Americans can have all the deadly nuclear weapons and other countries are not allowed? Which is more provocative, test launching a rocket to launch its own satellite or the threat of a pre emptive strike by Japan?

The recent hiking of tension in the Korean Peninsula was started by the Americans and South Koreans conducting massive war games at the borders with North Korea. Why did the western media not report,’ American and South Korean war games provocative’, or ‘American South Korean war games raising tension in the Korean Peninsula’?

Then the Americans flew their nuclear bombs capable B52 in the Peninsula which was a show of force to threaten the North Koreans. Why didn’t the western media report, ‘Americans raised tension in the Peninsula with B52s’?

Then inside the same paper was a report from AFP titled, ‘N. Korea threatens US bases in Japan, Guam’. Why not a title, ‘US threatens N Korea with B52s’?

Who is the real culprit in raising tension in the Korean Peninsula? Depending on your sympathy and who is reporting the activities there.

If few thousands years of civilization and yet the orientals lose out to the angmos in mind play, then just too bad.
However, those in central asia fortunately are not as daft as those in south east asia.
The posturing will go on for a long time and meanwhile the people should live the best they can.
Living in fear and jittery will damage the quality of living.

The most shallow and easily manipulated Asians are the English educated, read English novels, newspapers and listening to English news. Day in and day out fed by one sided views for a life time and did not know the difference and cursing and swearing at their own kind like Europeans.

March 25, 2013 11:30 am - Europeans (except uk) actually dislike Amercans. They only pretend to be friend on the surface. Within europeans, they also dislike each other. Americans also have their own internal conflict and will be having a civil war in the near future. The same goes for China and India. The utimate is to break all these big countries into smaller parts.

Matter of fact the elites of uncle sam and lee kill you both used the same strategy - create the trouble and blame it on others. (Thick black theory).

*What Washington wants from North Korea

On March 11, U.S. national security adviser Tom Donilon announced publicly that what Washington wants from North Korea is open markets and the country’s integration into the US-led system of global capitalist exploitation. At least, that’s what he meant when he said, “I urge North Korea’s leaders to reflect on Burma’s experience.*
