Threat Inflation Is The Name Of The Game: Phony Hysterics Over North Korea...

[Dschrute3]

Good piece written by Justin Raimondo

A lot of my job as editorial director of Antiwar.com is cutting through the veil of obfuscation with which the War Party masks its ill intentions. But sometimes you don’t even have to read between the lines to see what our conniving rulers are up to. Such is the case with the current war scare around North Korea.

President Trump is playing this for all it’s worth, summoning the Senate to a special conclave at the White House to inform them of the supposedly dire threat. This ostentatious display was preceded by a hearing before the House Armed Services Committee at which Admiral Harry Harris, in charge of the US Pacific Command, sounded the alarm:

"Kim Jong-Un is clearly in a position to threaten Hawaii today, in my opinion. I have suggested that we consider putting interceptors in Hawaii that . . . defend (it) directly, and that we look at a defensive Hawaii radar.”

The idea that the North Korean despot is going to pull off another Pearl Harbor is so off the wall that one has to wonder what the Admiral is smoking. To begin with, the North Koreans don’t have the technical capacity to reach Hawaii: their most recent test, reportedly of a medium range ballistic missile, failed on launch. Another failure of a medium range missile test occurred earlier in the month, when the rocket went haywire in the skies and exploded in a fiery crash in the sea. And in March, they chalked up two failures, when they fired a flurry of test missiles,...

This manufactured drama is China's way of avoiding a trade war with Trump. They have been playing this game for decades. If we dare call China on the carpet for their unfair trade practices they get North Korea to throw a tantrum, then China pretends to intercede in North Korea in exchange for the US backing off the trade stuff.

I, kinda, do not believe that explanation-----it seems CONTRIVED

I, kinda, do not believe that explanation-----it seems CONTRIVED

And yet China has done this to every president since Carter. Blatant over the top examples of China screwing over US industries, dumping product at below cost on our market to take out our US companies, and our government lets them get away with it in exchange for China doing us favors on North Korea or some other UN thing that's going on around the world.

so true----china has FOR A LONG TIME----been manipulating markets ---mostly by UNDERSELLING

Look dummy, Trump threatened a trade war with China, North Korea threw a tantrum, Trump asked China for help with North Korea, then Trump abandoned his trade war with China. There now you don't look as stupid, oh wait maybe you do.

There is no threat. If there is, it's just Hawaii. They are just a bunch of potheads no one should bother caring about. That's a waste of time. Get the military out and tell little kimmy to go for it.
