First Donald Trump,
inexplicably in the ill-fitting role of the President of the United States of
America, threatens to go totally criminal, to “totally destroy” North Korea.
This violates international laws to which past US presidents have signed and
far better US Senates have ratified. Killing civilians. Shooting rockets into
cities. Committing genocide. All totally immoral and illegal.
Then the Spoiled Brat
Ruler of North Korea responds:
'I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged U.S. dotard with fire.'
How, how on God’s green Earth could humankind
have permitted us to be in this untenable position, with aged boys taunting and
reviling each other, manchild specimens whose only actual achievements were
being born sons of powerful men? The tween in his dotage in the US is far
older, but no wiser, just a sad blustering narcissist seemingly utterly unaware
of just what a pathetic cheap fool he is. The twerp in North Korea earned
nothing, son of a son of a brutal ruler, as endowed with a human conscience as,
say, Uday Hussein or Curtis LeMay.
These are two poor
excuses for humans, clearly addled by their upbringings and the forbearance
shown them even when their behavior is kindergarten immature, even when
testosterone, greed, gluttony and power over others corrupts all their actions.
And, dammit, they both
have nuclear arsenals.
Seriously, humankind,
what are we going to do? Even Nixon, as maniacal as he was, visited Leonid Brezhnev
and gave
him a Cadillac. He really thought better about starting an atomic slugfest.
Not Trump, referred to
by many nowadays as ONE (Our National Embarrassment). How many North Koreans
have participated in terror acts against the US? How many times has North Korea
conducted war games just off the coast of the US? How many times has North
Korea attacked US soil?
Oh, that’s right.
Zero.
How many times has the
US conducted intimidating war games all around the northern half of the Korean
Peninsula? How many North Korean civilians were slaughtered mercilessly by the
US military in the 1950-’53 bloodletting, in attacks on North Korean cities,
towns, and villages? Just sayin’.
If we would prefer to
avoid a nuclear war, if we would rather not have a few US cities immolated and
Far East Asia burned down, the US and North Korean peoples need to swing into
action, and, as we live in a putative democracy in the US, our duty is even
more clear than that of North Koreans.
Impeach.
