North Korean foreign policy: please study this

Here is an alternative narrative that says America is trying to bully North Korea into submission. "But the North has never succumbed to US intimidation and there’s no sign that it will. Instead, they have developed a small arsenal of nuclear weapons to defend themselves in the event that the US tries to assert its dominance by launching another war."

Given Americas history of colonial aggression, it is not too difficult to believe this must be the case. Your average American is just too brainwashed to realize their government is really a terrorist organization. And there is mountains of history to prove it.

 

It's just another narrative. Not to mention that America never goes to war to "spread democracy" or to "fight human rights violations". This is just a fairytale. Here's a video of a man that talks about American colonialism.

 

Youre speaking in tongues. I have no idea what you're talking about..

 

Again the answer, I think, is American colonialism. China poses a significant threat to the petrodollar. Recently, China bought a lot of oil from Iran in Yuan. And guess what the Yuan isn't? US dollars! The fact that Iran can get around selling oil in US dollars means they are willing to deal in other Currencies. Which is a threat to the value of the US Dollar. What's more, if the Iran-Syria pipeline is built, who will be supplying the European market with Oil? Iran! So what currency will the oil be bought in? Euros! And guess what that isn't? US dollars!

How does this relate to North Korea? Well, China and North Korea are buddies. "China is North Korea’s most important ally, biggest trading partner, and main source of food and energy. It has helped sustain Kim Jong-un’s regime, and has historically opposed harsh international sanctions on North Korea in the hope of avoiding regime collapse" (Council on Foreign Relations, 2017). This means, essentially, that North Korea is willing to do what ever it takes to maintain that support, including building Nuclear Weapons. The reason this is important is because China is on the side of Iran. They want the Iran-Syria pipeline built to help loosen the death grip that USA has over the Middle East. There are multiple reasons China would want this, not least because it will allow them to buy cheaper oil and improve their status as a world super power.

In short, this is a petrodollar war. And China is just using North Korea as a deterrence measure against The United States. This, I think, is the reason Kim is building Nuclear Weapons. Anyway, you need to get away from mainstream media and think for yourself. There are more narratives than "North Korea are the bad guys and Americans are the good guys."

I invented that narrative. I don't actually believe it, even though I said I did. In actuality I think it's happening because USA has a lot to lose by being perceived as weak. And so they're instigating the aggression. China, Pakistan and India are all testing as well, yet USA media doesn't demonize them. Why?

 

Putin yes, but not Assad. Assad is just caught in the grips of a power struggle.

 

No no, you're forgetting that Syria and Iran are friends. If they wanted to build a pipeline, they wouldn't have to fight anyone to get it. Remember, the revolt in Syria started in 2011, 11 years after Assad came into power. And just over a year before USA got involved! But why should this matter? Well, because America has a long and brutal track record of overthrowing and destabilizing democratically elected governments all over the world. And each time they do it, the story is that they are fighting "gross human rights violations" . Is it merely a coincidence that just over a year before America decided to join the fight, Syria fell into a civil war? Perhaps, but not likely. Anyway, for watever reason they got involved, USA stands to gain a lot by improving their influence over the Middle East. But this a threat to Russian interests since they, like everyone else, rely on oil to function. And so it is in their best interests to resist American influence and join the fighting. Since then, the conflict in Syria has turned into a proxy war between the two great powers in the world.

 

Compelling.

 

Evidence? Besides, you're grasping at straws again. Even if this did happen, it doesn't prove anything. At all.
