The North Korean military announce a series of missile tests, implicitly suggesting some will (may) be nuclear.
The U.S. press dusts of its red banner headlines and reporters pose as armchair psychiatrists who dutifully diagnose North Korea’s new leader, Kim Jong-Un, as crazy.
Sound familiar?
Over a decade ago, the same forces deemed Iraq’s president, Saddam Hussein, a clever and able politician, as nuts.
One well-known reporter asked former Libyan leader, Muammar el-Qaddaffi, “Are you insane?”
The media- promoted notion that any leader who opposes American Imperial designs must be mad to even think so, is, well – propaganda.
As for North Korea, is it logical for their military to sit idly by while the U.S. leads co-called war games right off their shores?
Should they just shrug it off?
Or would that be crazy?
What if another country stage ‘war games’ off the coast of Atlantic City, or near Miami?
What would the U.S. do?
You surely know the answer.
