IN WORLD history there were many wars, big and small, short and long, fought for whatever reasons. Some wars, however, were avoided due to the intervention of cooler heads (like the United Nations) and several party talked to come up with peaceful resolutions.
Unfortunately, some analysts believe certain âpeace talksâ lead to regime change in a sovereign state and leave the nation in shambles. America is clearly being destroyed by vested interests from within. Weâre not even sure now if American critics of their government are mere patriots or working for foreign interests.
Details of this programmed scenario can be found in the article âNorth Korea Would be Stupid to Trust the USâ by Jacob G. Hornberger (Global Research, Oct. 1, 2017) To many mainstream pundits, the solution to the crisis in Korea is for US officials to sit down and âtalkâ to North Korea in the hope of negotiating a mutually beneficial agreement. While it wonât guarantee a deal, they say âtalkingâ is the only chance there is to resolve the crisis.
According to Hornberger, âThey ignored an important point: Any deal that would be reached would involve trusting the USÂ government to keep its end of the bargain. And trusting the US government would be the stupidest thing North Korea could ever do. Thatâs because as soon as US officials found it advantageous, they would break the deal and pounce on North Korea, with the aim of achieving the regime change they have sought ever since the dawn of the Cold War more than 70 years ago.
âLook at what US officials did to Libya. Muammar Qaddafi agreed to give up his nuclear weapons program in return for regime security. That turned out to be a stupid move. As soon as US officials saw an opening, they pounced with a regime-change operation. Today, Qaddafi is dead and Libya is in perpetual crisis and turmoil. That wouldnât have happened if Qaddafi had a nuclear deterrent to a US regime-change operation.
âLook at what US officials are doing to Iran. They entered into a deal in which the US government agreed to lift its brutal system of sanctions, which has brought untold suffering to the Iranian people, in return for Iranâs abandoning its nuclear weapons program. After the deal was reached and Iran had complied, US officials broke their side of the deal by refusing to lift their brutal system of sanctions and even imposed more sanctions. US officials also now look for any excuse or justification for getting out of the deal to which they agreed.
âEven longtime partners and allies of the US government can never be certain that the Empire wonât suddenly turn against them.
âLook at Syria, which for a time served as a loyal partner and ally of the US government, as reflected by the secret agreement to torture Canadian citizen Mahar Arar on behalf of US officials and report their findings back to the CIA. Later, US officials turned on Syriaâs ruler, Bashar al-Assad, in a regime-change operation.
âUnfortunately, this is not a new phenomenon. Recall the countless agreements that US officials made in the 1800s with Native Americans. US officials were notorious for breaking them once it became advantageous to do so. Native Americans were entirely justified in accusing US officials of speaking with a forked tongue.
âIf you were a North Korean, would you trust US officials? Would you give up the one thing that is deterring a US regime change operation in return for a promise from US officials that they would not initiate a regime change operation? That would really be a stupid thing to do, from the standpoint of North Korea. As soon as the US government found it advantageous to break the deal and invade North Korea, engage in another state-sponsored assassination, or impose a new round of regime-change sanctions, they would do it.
âTalking to North Korea will do no good because North Korea will never trust the United States to fulfill its part of any deal that is worked out. There is but one solution to the crisis in Korea: withdraw all US forces from that part of the world immediately and bring them home. Anything less will only continue the crisis or, even worse, result in a very deadly and destructive war.â (To be continued / culdesac2008@gmail.com/PN)
