OT: North Korea Missile Tests

[Artaud]

Well, as someone who does know a great deal about that region of the world and North Korea in particular, I say that a sovereign nation has the right to test whatever it wants to test.

It's almost funny that Japan, considering its long and rich history of "involvement" on the Korean peninsula, would now huff and puff about potential "threats" from North Korea.

And it is hysterically funny that the USA, which has more soldiers stationed beyond its borders than any other country, has expressed its desire to eliminate several governments that it does not like, has invaded and occupied (and will continue to occupy indefinitely) one country for no reason at all, and is engaged in the biggest military buildup in human history, has the nerve to express dismay when other countries test weapons (North Korea), buy weapons (Venezuela) and modernize their military forces (China).

The US does not have the right to give orders to other countries and dominate the air, land, and sea of planet Earth. It does not have the right to dominate space. The Bush regime has repeatedly said that that level of domination is its goal.

No wonder the world is afraid.

The tension is rather like a guy in a bar showing off his gun.

And then someone else says 'Hey, I got one too!'.
