Chossudovsky argues lots of things that I find to be utterly ridiculous at times, but he also provides plenty of sources to go with things that are more...moderate I suppose. He's generally very bang on when it comes to the Balkans, but there are some articles others have written on globall research that just boggle my mind. Funny though he states that it's the only country to lose 25% of its population in recent history, as I can think of a couple others, Serbia included that have lost even more than 25% of its population. While I do agree that yes, North Korea started the war, that doesn't justify the rampant carpet bombing of civilian targets and industry not even related to the war effort that caused severe destruction to North Korea, as a way of punishment, which smacks of what the US would go on to do in Vietnam and the former Yugoslavia.

Chossudovsky is a far left ideologue who twists facts to promote his extreme view of the world. The main evidence he gives for N. Korea's victimhood is that it lost so many people in the war it started. Militaristic North Korea, sponsored by the Soviet Union, invaded an ill prepared South Korea without warning. North Korea is the last Stalinist state on earth, and like Stalin has killed millions of it's own people with purges and starvation. Over the past two decades it has swung between confrontation and inch-by-inch conciliation with its neighbors and the United States, in an oscillation that seems to be driven both by its hard-to-fathom internal political strains and by an apparent belief in brinksmanship as the most effective form of diplomacy. Now it has successfully tested a nuclear weapon threatening to use it at any time.

I agree with the headline of this, the fact is North Korea is still having their own banks, S. Korea is in the middle of political change this torpedo issue smells Gulf of Tonkin Incident part II. The "Free" World or New World Order can't afford mavericks on the loose in their grand plan to control everything and everyone. N. Korea if they go out in an all out war with the S. Korea do not expect it to be over in a matter of weeks, the North lost 20% of its population during the last clash with the United States. There are deeply rooted cultural differences. For those that think this will be an easy reunification like East and West Germany are wrong, this is not one people one thought, this is on one side a dictatorial regime with a cult of personality behind it, the other side a western la, la land completely without any cultural bands of their own more than the propaganda machine that has brainwashed the south for the last fifty years. I say stop the genocide on its people and maybe it won’t trigger another war in this particular region. There is not enough high tech to win it.
