You don’t have to go all the way to the Korean War, or learn about the Japanese Korean colony, or even go into the thousands of years of independent korean history. You have to go back maybe 20 years: The American excuse to invade Iraq was to counter possible nuclear gains by Saddam. Libya had no deterrent to American hostility and has suffered appalling consequences. The North Koreans know full well what could potentially happen if they give up their most valuable asset and a new personality appears in the White House.

The United States has a long history of ignoring legal treaties such as when Kennedy illegally sent more “advisors” to South Vietnam. Others could point to the treaties with native Americans the Americans committed genocide against.

Most appalling is the comments by Trump’s staff about turning North Korea “into next Libya” if they don’t give up their most valuable asset. With comments like these one wonders what the US intentions truly are. Political? Militant? Time will tell, like how North Korea has been showing no indication of denuclearization, or the failed “talks” Which should be called “demands”.

It would be a miracle if the North Koreans gave up the bomb, it would be the United States leaving Vietnam in the 1950, 60s. It would be Reagan not being afraid of the African Americans organizing for their proper rights. It would be me not throwing shade at the American government constantly.
