North Korea – UN Security Council’s – 15 : 0; – Choking a Country into
Submission December 24, 2017 processing mats
HELP ENLIGHTEN YOUR FELLOWS. BE SURE TO PASS THIS ON. SURVIVAL DEPENDS
ON IT.
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) is being choked into
submission if not starvation by the UN Security Council, by a vote of
15 : 0; i.e. unanimously. None of the 15 UNSC states, let alone the
five permanent members, have had the guts to say no to a killer
Resolution, drafted and proposed by the United States of America, a
name that increasingly stands for international rogue and crime
natng ion.
The New York Times reports on 22 December 2017 – “President Trump has
used just about every lever you can use, short of starving the people
of North Korea to death, to change their behavior,” the White House
homeland security adviser, Thomas P. Bossert, said Tuesday. “And so, we
don’t have a lot of room left here to apply pressure to change their
behavior.” Both Russia and China know that Washington’s arguments
against the DPRK are based on a web of lies.. That everything coming out
of Washington is a lie, or untruth, or omission of facts – is well
known around the globe. But in this case, where two ascending
super-powers, Russia and China have the veto right to say NO to these
illegal sanctions, it begs the question, why’ didn’t they use their
veto?
Two immediate questions come to mind – first, who is Trump to blackmail
the UNSC into punishing nations which do not bend to the empire’s
wishes? Yes, blackmailing, because that’s exactly what is categorically
part of the chief rogue’s international behavior. Case in point is the
recent UN Resolution to nullify Trump’s unilateral decision to declare
Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, when he, the Donald, threatening he
would watch closely who would vote against the US, in view of
punishingA Awind <[email protected]> those nations monetarily or with
other sanctions; and second, how come Russia and China went along with
this literally genocidal program of sanctions contained in this UNSC
Resolution?
Both Russia and China know that Washington’s arguments against the DPRK
are based on a web of lies. That everything coming out of Washington is
a lie, or untruth, or omission of facts – is well known around the
globe. But in this case, where two ascending super-powers, Russia and
China have the veto right to say NO to these illegal sanctions, it begs
the question, why’ didn’t they use their veto?
The Pentagon’s sociopathic caption says ti all. “Fifth Air Force,
Korea–A dramatic stop-action photograph shows nine high explosive
missiles leaving the bomb bay of a U.S. Air Force 3rd Bomb wing B-26
light bomber over a Communist target in North Korea. The light bombers
fly day and night combat missions, attacking key Red military targets
including rail and road bridges, communication centers, supply-laden
vehicles and troop and supply areas along the battleline.” The US has
never completely hidden its Nuremberg-class crimes against North Korea,
only blanketed the public mind with outrageous self-serving propaganda.
Even more so, since Russia and China are both also ‘sanctioned’ by
Washington for not ‘behaving’, and because Russia and China are natural
allies of North Korea. – Why were they going along with Washington’s
blackmail? – A veto could have sent a clear message to the sort of
preposterous Nikki Haleys and Donald Trumps of this world, that there
is no more fear of the devil, but that the power plates are clearly
shifting away from Washington.
Was it out of fear that the madman could possibly press the red bottom,
if provoked? – Voting with the madman is certainly no reason to believe
that the Mad Man will not press the nuclear bottom. – Then, what kind
of diplomacy is it? – The fear of more sanctions directed at Russia and
China? This would be outright ridiculous, as both countries, founders
of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), are almost fully
detached from the western dollar economy and are heading a new economy
that already comprises about half of the world’s population and one
third of the globe’s economic output. Hence, they can function fully
independently from the west. There are no fears of sanctions either.
Then why?
Maybe because they, Russia and China, want to show the world that no
matter how they vote, they will do what they deem correct, like in this
case not adhering to the sanctions, as they will not let North Korea’s
people, their friends and allies, suffocate to death. This would tell
those nations who still do not dare contradicting the US of A – “Don’t
be afraid, we are on your side.”
Already a month ago, Reuters reported that according to the North
Korean representative at the UN Geneva, those who most suffer from the
sanctions are women and children. This is a classic. It applies almost
everywhere when sanctions are dished out. For example, in Iraq where
under the Clinton sanctions program, following a 1995 UN report,
“576,000 Iraqi children may have died since the end of the Persian Gulf
war because of economic sanctions imposed by the Security Council,
according to two scientists who surveyed the country for the Food and
Agriculture Organization.” In addition, the study found “steeply rising
malnutrition among the young, suggesting that more children will be at
risk in the coming years.” – Indeed, close to a million Iraqis have
died as the result of a decade long US-imposed UN sanctions scheme.
Will the world allow similar numbers – or higher – of people to die in
North Korea, just because the DPRK has opted to defend herself against
the self-proclaimed exceptional nation that has for over 60 years
refused to sign a peace agreement and instead constantly threatened
North Korea with annual high-powered military war games along the
Korean Peninsula?
North Korea has done no harm to any other nation. Indeed, North Korea
does not intend to start a war with anyone. North Korea has had the
courage and strength to rebuild as a socialist nation in almost full
isolation from a 1953 US-devastated country with the loss from then one
third of the population, about 3 million people. Does anyone wonder why
North Korea has opted to defend herself – come what may?
And does anybody realize, including the 15 UNSC countries having
condemned the DPRK to starve, that North Korea has declared numerous
times that she wants nothing more than Peace, that she is willing to
sign a nuclear weapons disarmament program along with all the other
nuclear powers; and she is ready to negotiate, as long as Washington
stops its high-handed and dangerous military maneuvers and jet fighter
territorial overflights.?
Why would North Korea, or any nation for that matter – not have the
same right as the US, UK, Russia, China, France, Israel, India,
Pakistan, and the NATO member nuclear weapons sharing states of
Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Turkey – all of which have
acquired atomic weapons for alleged “defense purposes”?
