“The North Korean Communists are implacably pursuing their military buildup in defiance of the international trend toward rapprochement and of the stark reality of the Korean situation, as well as of the long-cherished aspiration of the 50 million Koreans. The North Koreans have already constructed a number of underground invasion tunnels across the Demilitarized Zone.” WellsLongRealityNumbersSituationMillionsMilitaryInternationalUsaAspirationZoneTrendsCommunistKoreaInvasionNorth KoreaTunnelsDefianceKoreanStarksNorth KoreanStark Reality Book:Jimmy Carter Source: Jimmy Carter

“How do you think policing is in places like China, or North Korea? Whatever we experience, in terms of our policing, I also wanted to make known that the rest of the world suffers ten times more because of that power dynamic; because of the fact that there is no Posse Comitatus in other places which is what prevents in our country, or what is supposed to prevent the military from taking on a policing role of its own people.” PeopleThinkingWorldCountryFactsWantedSufferingTermKnownRolesMilitaryTenChinaOur CountryKoreaNorth KoreaPosse Author:Immortal Technique

“It would seem to be the case that pressure on Iran to acquire nuclear weapons is almost totally driven by their need for a deterrent capability to avoid the fate of Iraq, Libya. The use of American military force in Syria thus sends exactly the opposite message as supposedly desired to the leadership in Tehran - and to others. North Korea has been dealt with diplomatically because it has the bomb and might use it if provoked.” IfsNeedsHas BeensUseSeemsMightForceCasesFateMilitaryMessagesWeaponsOppositesPressureIraqDrivenNuclearBombsAcquireIranCapabilityNuclear WeaponsSyriaKoreaNorth KoreaLibyaProvokedMilitary ForceDeterrentTehranAmerican MilitaryMight Use Author:Richard A.

“North Korea and China have proposed what sounds like a pretty sensible option that North Korea should end its development of nuclear weapons, the US should stop carrying out hostile military maneuvers on the North Korean border. The US immediately rejected it. Modernization program is a very clear example of how security doesn't matter. There is no gain in security but massive overkill of the adversary's deterrent capacity. The only consequence of it is to elicit the likelihood of a preemptive attack. And a preemptive attack leads to a nuclear winter world.” WorldSecurityMilitaryConsequenceProgramWinterSensibleNuclear WeaponsRejectedNorth KoreaKoreanNorth Korean Author:Noam Chomsky

“There is reason to say that negotiations with the North Koreans are not easy, they may not succeed, but they may be a way of getting to where we want to get to, limiting the capability of the North Koreans to do harm to us and our allies without the use of military force and without the risk of a major war in Northeast Asia.” WarReasonEasyRiskMilitarySucceedCapabilityNegotiationNorth KoreaKoreanNorth Korean Author:Robert Gallucci
