it's pretty obvious that this of kim is just speculation for the market , it's so simple , North korea Always did the test so now all of a sudden trump want to do a war pathethic

 

[Scott SoCal]

Speculation for the market? Which market would that be?

If Trump wanted to 'all of a sudden do a war pathetic' it would have already begun.

SOME great and glorious trolling you just replied to.

I was also wondering about which market applied?

i could be wrong but the us strike on norkor or not is entirely in the hands of...not japan, not china, not the useless un talking heads, but the south koreans

why ? b/c it is them, including the seoul residents hobbling a few dozen miles from the norkor multiple rocket launchers to take the instant retaliation due to its ease w/o the norkor ever engaging the nukes.

unless the trump admin had gone completely unruly with their own inter-department differences on the action, which i doubt, there will be NO us strike on norkor UNLESS the south kor said 'go ahead'

trump may be chafing but i do not think he's the nut his domestic enemies want everyone to see. my opinion.

 

[telencefalus]

it's ovious , Obama didn't worry to much of nKorea , now trump worries and yen goes up and euro goes up ,and gold goes up and oil goes up , to you this is not speculation?

 

[Scott SoCal]

Oh.

So "fire and fury" was about driving down the dollar and driving up oil prices.

BTW, Obama ignoring the fat kid has had repercussions. ICBM's, miniaturized thermo-nuclear war heads to name two.

Can't wait to see what Iran does.

 

[Brullnux]

Go back on their agreement, if Trump continues to antagonise them. They've even elected a president who ran on a platform which was incredibly open to the west and reformist - and yet the US government still hates them.

Which agreement would that be... the one with the Clinton admin in 1994? $5 billion in aid in exchange for a promise to drop their pursuit of nuclear weapons?

Who's antagonizing whom?

President Clinton put an agreement together that they have never abided by and really never intended to do it.

Now it is copperheads fault. Normal.

How about the Russians?

I was talking about Iran, with whom I'm pretty sure Bill never signed a nuclear deal.

But yes, the antagonisation started before Trump, way before him. They installed the Shah in the 70s, called then a rogue state in the 90s, said they were the axis of evil in the 00s. But relations had been improving and Iran, like I said, have submitted to almost all the demands and elected a pro-west president. What more could the USA want? I understand the ayatollah still has the power to do what he wants, but both the deal and the election were steps in the right direction. Yet Tillerson reacted by accusing them of supporting terrorism. Which is false, as the islamic terrorism in the West is Sunni extremist, which Iran certainly do not support. Funnily enough, the terrorist supporters are actually our good ol' friends the Saudis. It's clear to me who the antagonisers are. Not that the rest of the West is doing a much better job.

 

[Tonton]

Korea has been a thorn in the US side and both Russia and China like it this way, Obama vs. Trump talks? It has been ongoing since the '50's, getting the nuke has always been the goal for the piglet family. Blame all of them, Reagan, Clinton, et caetera. They don't want to end-up like Saddam. The "axis of evil state" of the union speech was a warning that resounded loud and clear for both NK and Iran.

The Obama and Trump talks on this subject are either short-sighted or hypocrite. It has been looming for a long time, now we need to deal with it...

@tonton, Iranian enmity toward the US goes further back to the 50s at least with Mossadegh.

@brullnux

i follow iran a little bit...iran by any objective analysis is on the move and it is picking speed...

meaning, in part due to the mindless us policies in the middle east and in part due to their own wise diplomatic-military approach, iran's geopolitical position is much improved not only vis a vis its main enemy (israel) but also wrt the saudi arabia and america.

the 1st and biggest gain they achieved was in iraq, where they de facto pull the strings of not only the official shiite govt but also of several shiite militias which in one way or another promote the iranian line

their 2nd biggest gain is in syria. it is imo inarguable that the alawite (a branch of the shiites) assad survival is in part due to their staunch support (and of course due to the russian military-diplomatic role). still, their biggest gains in syria were the iran's own troops as well as their surrogates like hezbollah acquiring an invaluable combat experience. This hardening and military experience will come handy opposing the zionist state agression.

among the other big gains, i'd put their turn around of the eu sanctions into a line of the european nation competing to trade with them. noteworthy is that the eu (and germany in particular) are OFFICIALLY opposing the us policies of new sanctions and already said they will not support the us withdrawal from the nuclear agreements with iran. that's big... and if the us congress (in its proven stupidity) will withdraw anyway, europe will drift away from the us even faster...

among their smaller, yet significant achievements are the rapprochement with sunni turkey, egypt and of course qatar. the saud is livid with these stronger relations, not mention that iran is again OFFICIALLY supporting the biggest israeli headache - the hamas

with respect to their purely military achievements it is not well known that they produce an entire line of modern weapons - from missiles to tanks to drones...

none of this would be possible or at least would not occur so fast without the hypocritical, insidious and arrogant anti-iran policies the us pursued for so long.

....speaking of former president Barrack Odrone, oh look, another Nobel Peace prize winner goes full hypocrite and becomes a blood thirsty tyrant.....

Few people have ever heard of Myanmar’s Rohingya people. Not many more could find Myanmar on a map – particularly after its name was changed some years ago from Burma to Myanmar.

The exception is Burma’s sainted lady leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, who became a worldwide celebrity and Nobel Prize winner. The media loved her, a sort of Burmese Joan of Arc versus its brutal military junta.

But now, tragically, the Rohingya are headline news thanks to Myanmar’s brutal ethnic cleansing of one of the world’s most abused, downtrodden people.

Almost as revolting is the world’s failure to take any action to rescue the Rohingya from murder, rape, arson and ethnic terrorism. In recent weeks, over 270,000 Rakhines have been driven from their homes in Rakhine State in western Myanmar and now cower in makeshift refugee camps just across the border in Bangladesh in the midst of monsoon season.

....more Nobel Peace Prize news....

To a certain extent, Aung San Suu Kyi is a false prophet. Glorified by the west for many years, she was made a ‘democracy icon’ because she opposed the same forces in her country, Burma, at the time that the US-led western coalition isolated Rangoon for its alliance with China.

Aung San Suu Kyi played her role as expected, winning the approval of the Right and the admiration of the Left. And for that, she won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1991; she joined the elevated group of ‘The Elders’ and was promoted by many in the media and various governments as a heroic figure, to be emulated

.

Hillary Clinton once described her as “this extraordinary woman.” The ‘Lady’ of Burma’s journey from being a political pariah in her own country, where she was placed under house arrest for 15 years, finally ended in triumph when she became the leader of Burma following a multi-party election in 2015. Since then, she has toured many countries, dined with queens and presidents, given memorable speeches, received awards, while knowingly rebranding the very brutal military that she had opposed throughout the years. (Even today, the Burmese military has a near-veto power over all aspects of government.)

But the great ‘humanitarian’ seems to have run out of integrity as her government, military and police began conducting a widespread ethnic cleansing operation that targeted the ‘most oppressed people on earth’, the Rohingya. These defenseless people have been subjected to a brutal and systematic genocide, conducted through a joint effort by the Burmese military, police and majority Buddhist nationalists

Certainly, the horrible fate of the Rohingya is not entirely new. But what makes it particularity pressing is that the west is now fully on the side of the very government that is carrying out these atrocious acts.

And there is a reason for that: Oil.

Reporting from Ramree Island, Hereward Holland wrote on the ‘hunting for Myanmar’s (Burma) hidden treasure.’

Massive deposits of oil that have remained untapped due to decades of western boycott of the junta government are now available to the highest bidder. It is a big oil bonanza, and all are invited. Shell, ENI, Total, Chevron and many others are investing large sums to exploit the country’s natural resources, while the Chinese – who dominated Burma’s economy for many years – are being slowly pushed out

Indeed, the rivalry over Burma’s unexploited wealth is at its peak in decades. It is this wealth – and the need to undermine China’s superpower status in Asia – that has brought the west back, installed Aung San Suu Kyi as a leader in a country that has never fundamentally changed, but only rebranded itself to pave the road for the return of ‘Big Oil’.

However, the Rohingya are paying the price

.

Amid international silence, only few respected figures like Pope Francis spoke out in support of the Rohingya in a deeply moving prayer last February.

The Rohingya are ‘good people’, the Pope said. “They are peaceful people, and they are our brothers and sisters.” His call for justice was never heeded.

Arab and Muslim countries remained largely silent, despite public outcry to do something to end the genocide

When US, European and Japanese corporations lined up to exploit the treasures of Burma, all they needed was the nod of approval from the US government. The Barack Obama Administration hailed Burma’s ‘opening’ even before the 2015 elections brought Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy to power. After that date, Burma has become another American ‘success story’, oblivious, of course, to the facts that a genocide has been under way in that country for years.

The violence in Burma is likely to escalate and reach other ASEAN countries, simply because the two main ethnic and religious groups in these countries are dominated and almost evenly split between Buddhists and Muslims.

The triumphant return of the US-west to exploit Burma’s wealth and the US-Chinese rivalries is likely to complicate the situation even further, if ASEAN does not end its appalling silence and move with a determined strategy to pressure Burma to end its genocide of the Rohingya

so, just within a day of the new sanctions, north korea fired another missile over japan

i put a smily, b/c, yes, i grin at the us ineptitude and stupidity so obvious to anyone willing to see...

it is up to an individual reader to take my word (or not) but i did predict this latest firing with a 100% accuracy...

a friend who is aware i follow closely the korean escalation, called after the previous firing and asked, 'what next '? i said, ' just watch, within days they will fire another one over japan, except this time higher and further'.

and sure enough, they just did - according estimates it traveled 500 km further and reached 200-300 km higher than the previous missile that flew over japan. and again, despite much verbiage, it was NOT intercepted. (find a separate post above why).

far from being a genius, i simply drew a straight line through the simple sequence of events - each time the us and its 'allies' tried to either browbeat or intimidate the insubordinate fat face, he responded - just as predictably - by broadcasting his missile and nuclear capabilities.

he very simply is saying, 'i refuse to follow saddam and qaddafi to their grave after the 2 fools succumbed to your threats'.

something that's so obvious to a simple cn poster - the crude force and intimidation dont work on this chap - appears to completely allude the pentagon geniuses with all their utterly useless anti-missile toys

I think that Myanmar is just a simple case of geography sometimes dictates geopolitics. If you look at a map, the shortest route from China to the Bay of Bengal is through Myanmar. Certain groups would like to crush the BRI (Belt and Road Initiative) that would unite Asia and free up China's dependence on the South China Sea, which the US currently dominates. Basically, the reason the US has influence over China is because they can turn off China's economy like a tap, just by shutting down the narrow sea lanes.

i speculate - like most 'whites' - i did not know all that much about that lost corner of asia called myanmar...

that is, until i started reading a bit more to form my own opinion which i admit is already suspicious of the western msm 'genocide' chorus...

to begin with, how many 'whites' know the muanmar is no longer burma ? indeed, i found it funny that despite thinking of themselves as 'civilized europeans' the commentators on france24 persistently use only a 'burma' term. or how many europeans and 'whites' know/remember that during the ww2 the allegiances of the burma muslims (the now persecuted rohingya) were with the japanese as opposed to the rest of burma inhabitants with the allies....? or the simple facts of ethnicity and religion...how many knew the rohingya are darker skinned muslims like many south indian ethnicites vs the typical 'chinese like' buddist residents of the myanmar ?

of course this does not take away from the mass injustices done by the military authorities of myanmar. but i have not found A SINGLE mention in the western msm that the current violence was started by the extremist muslims attacking the police stations...

i am far from supporting the asiatic violence against the defenseless refugees, but i feel suspicious of the chorus of IDENTICAL ideologically painted stories from the western msm...

btw, again try as hard as you may, but you will not find in the western msm that india, like china support the official govt. you need to sift through what i did to find that... russia leans the same way too. thus a zero chance of the unsc sanctions !

yes, it is a horrible mix of some geopolitics, some religion some ethnic intolerance etc.

it is NOT a single, simplified emotion that so many of us in the west swallow from our msm

First, the attacks on police were mentioned in Western news outlets.
Secondly, do you really believe this was the 'start' of the current violence?
