China feels the same way, but has to be a little more subtle about it. A North Korean propaganda poster.


Listen and/or read here:

Editor’s Note: As the US ruling class, this time supposedly helmed by Donald Trump, continues to edge closer to an unthinkable nuclear war in Northeast Asia, lucid analyses are hard to come by. Here’s our Beijing correspondent on the gathering storm in the Korean peninsula, and beyond. Let us hope that Washington’s sociopaths do not live up to our worst expectations. (Main image: American warplane dropping its bombs on North Korea. They literally flattened the country. One of the great unspoken crimes of the 20th century.)

Beijing could also be doing this to help Russia in Syria and the Ukraine, by tying up significant Western signals intelligence and other spy resources in Asia. Ditto the South China Sea.

And in a very Machiavellian fashion, Baba Beijing can use their endorsement of these “harsh” sanctions on North Korea, to say to the West, “see how we are working with you. Now we need you to return the favor on…”. China can also use this as a way to show its neighbors how intrusive Uncle Sam is, and what a destabilizing force it is in Asia.

In sum, just remember that China is North Korea’s very, very big brother and protector. Frankly, I think the West is getting played like a big Buddhist temple drum and it is the drum that gets the crap pounded out of it.

Balance? Objectivity? Those are phony code words used by the corporate media to pretend impartiality and comprehensiveness in their reports. In reality, truth doesn’t have two sides or many sides. It is what it is. And we’re not afraid to seek it and tell it, with apologies to no one.
