If Kim let US corporate interests rape his country the way other "puppets" have in other countries, would NKorea even be on anyone's radar? Look, this cat is really horrible, no doubt, I am not a Kim supporter or sympathizer. But the US has dealt with and supported leaders as bad, or worse, all in the name of Corporate America. How many dictators have we propped up thru history(and not far back history, recent as well)?
The gov't/corporations go to war for monetary/natural resource reasons, then get the people at home all worked up for sympathy(Look at how Kim treats his people, Iran treats women like dogs, Operation Iragi Freedom, etc.) THE US IS NOT GOING TO WAR TO HELP ANYONE, but themselves and the corporate entities who control our gov't. It's not to help poor citizens of other countries, its not to be the good guys. But they try to make us all get worked up and behind their false motives. I blame none of this on our soldiers themselves, or have any ill will towards those who serve.
For so much injustice in the world...IF the USA is the great liberator, why do we only concern ourselves in the injustices that benefit us financially? Call it what it really is, power grabs and greed.
BUT, if the US is honest...it kinda makes it hard to get young people into their armies, which they need to keep up this pillaging and plundering in the name of FREEDumb.
Talk to your recent vets of service, i know thru my cannabis activism i have met tons of disillusioned folks, who realize how much their gov't cares about them after they return home from service. One only need to look at the VA hosptials to see what the gov't thinks of these young men and women. Pump em full of pills and send em home, making them wait forever for shitty care, and just outright neglect.
As someone who has an aversion to authority, I can see why other countries or leaders don't want to bow down to the US.
