"We won't take any of the talks seriously if they don't do something to ban all nuclear weapons in North Korea," Haley said during a press conference Tuesday. "We consider this to be a reckless regime, we don't think we need a Band-Aid and we don't think we need to smile and take a picture."

Since 1953 how many countries has North Korea bombed, and how many countries has the U.S. bombed? Hell, since 2003 how many countries has North Korea bombed, and how many have the U.S. bombed.

It's lunacy that people buy into this fear mongering and hysteria about North Korea, and that we waste billions of dollars every year 'defending' a country with 40x the economic might and at least twice the population from their neighbor.

There is no rationale outside of maintaining empire to keep troops in South Korea. That we borrow money from China and Japan so we can afford to man a tripwire in a country between them is idiotic, and Trump's comments before the election gave me a glimmer of hope we might have a president who understood that.

The swamp keeps winning.

The U.S. is building an empire. We’d probably allow North Korea to have all the nuclear weapons they want ... as long as they adopt the U.S. dollar as their reserve currency.
