China's Nuclear Puppet Gambit — Kim Jong-un

The growing tension between the U.S. and North Korea’s brutal communist dictator Kim Jong-un is reported by the mainstream media as if it were a dangerous one-dimensional game of checkers. While it is most assuredly dangerous, it is in fact a multidimensional strategic chess match influenced most by China’s trade with the U.S., and U.S. debt held by China. (Of course, that would be too complicated for the media to explain between soundbite-punctuated advertisements.)

This week, responding to the sixth nuclear detonation and latest nuclear missile tests by North Korea’s 33-year-old Western-educated “Dear Leader,” the UN Security Council voted unanimously to impose its most restrictive sanctions yet against NoKo. Signers of the resolution include both China and Russia, Kim’s largest trade partners — which is to say, China’s dictator Xi Jinping and Russia’s dictator Vladimir Putin exercise a lot of control over Kim’s puppet strings.

Our UN ambassador, Nikki Haley, made our position clear: “Today we are saying the world will never accept a nuclear-armed North Korea. War is never something the United States wants. We don’t want it now. But our country’s patience is not unlimited. … Twenty-four years of half measures and failed talks is enough. … North Korea has not yet passed the point of no return.” She deflected protests from Russia and China, which have called for the U.S. to dismantle its THAAD missile defense systems in South Korea, noting those demands are “insulting.”

There is only one end to the direction that North Korea is taking...only one. They will continue with the nuclear missile program until they have the capability to follow through on their threats. However, they won't have to follow through. Unless we attack first, the threats, along with the real capability, will force our withdrawal from South Korea. Then, with threats alone, they will force South Korea into re-unification with the North. That is, and has always been, North Korea's ultimate goal. The little man has a plan, and is executing it perfectly. He is going to achieve what his father and grandfather were unable to do ever since the Korean Conflict. Don't believe what our country's propaganda machine says about the "mentally unstable" N. Korean leader. He is anything but unstable. He is a very stable and calculating leader of N. Korea. The US's days in S. Korea are numbered by Kim Jong-un, and our military knows it. The capitalists (hey I'm an American) that are reaping huge rewards from the S. Korea money machine are not going to stop Kim's advancement on the country. They will lose everything, they know it, and they, and only they, are willing to risk 10's of thousands of American lives to defend their profit taking.

Kim knows that, just like Vietnam, Americans will not have the stomach for a war that will be as costly as the one he will threaten us with, once he has perfected his nuclear capabilities (and he will, regardless of sanctions).

Get used to the idea, regardless of our military superiority, that Korea is going to be unified under Kim Jong-un. He knows what he's doing, why he's doing it, and where he's going with it. Crazy? No way is that little man crazy. Dangerous? Yes, extremely dangerous.
