      Yes and DPRK did just have a Kill All Americans rally in Pyongyang so I can understand why they had the idea to do this.

        Really can’t imagine why DPRK would have Kill All Americans rallies when US keeps flying nuclear bombers next to them and trying to starve them economically while propping up a hostile regime in the south. It’s a total mystery really.

          US policy toward DPRK is severe, always has been… nobody would disagree with that. I just wish there was a path towards peace and, unfortunately, neither state seems interested in that. I am bummed out by the hatred that has been cultivated by both sides towards one another over generations. Wish it was different.

            I mean there is a path towards peace. That path involves US quitting playing world police and minding its own business. This isn’t a both sides problem. US came half way across the world to wage war on Korea. US is entirely the party at fault here.

              Let’s be real, Korea isn’t the reason why the US still keeps a presence in the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea. There exists a threat to US hegemony and interests in the region and as long as that exists, the US will continue with threats, sanctions, and violence. Since that doesn’t appear to be changing, I don’t see this path to peace. :(

              Edit: Need to re-emphasize that what I am bummed out about is the intergenerational state-sponsored hatred of one another and I accidentally hit reply instead of preview

                Obviously Korea is just a small part of the bigger picture. US built a whole global empire that profits from exploiting labour and resources of the countries US subjugates. This empire is starting to unravel now though, so there is light at the end of the tunnel.

                  Thanks for the level response. Do you think the unraveling of the US empire will bring a final solution to the exploitation problem? I fear that the end of the US would create a power vacuum to be filled by another hegemonic empire. Maybe thinking about it is a waste of my time…

                    No, for that we would need the real world revolution and then possibly decades of changes. But the US hegemony is stopping any changes in that direction globally with their imperialism.

                    I fear that the end of the US would create a power vacuum to be filled by another hegemonic empire.

                    I don’t think it’s possible currently. US hegemony didn’t just popped in existence, it required century of buildup with some huge milestones like industrialisation and colonisation, Monroe Doctrine, WW2 and subsequent dollarisation etc.

                    Most likely outcome is multipolar world with several centres.

                    We can’t know what kind of world will emerge, but it’s beyond question that US hegemony has been steeped in horrific crimes against humanity. With the empire dying there is at least a chance for a better world if people are willing to work for it.
