Forget about George Bush. Forget about Obama. Forget about the US Congress. Don't waste your time searching for the culprit behind "America's wars." They are all planned by powers to be acting behind the curtain. The administration and the Congress are nothing but parts of the mechanism manipulated to carry on the orders from powers far above. That being said, the American militarist hubris not only has reached an intolerable degree of danger to the safety of the whole world, it has also managed to become repugnant to most people inhabiting the globe. The military exercises in the Korean and Chinese waters are a direct threat against China. North Korea is too insignificant a power for the United States to mount such a monstrous destructive capability in the shorelines of Korean (Chinese) waters. What the purpose of this overt warning is to China is hard to understand, except for the fact that after two military losses in Iraq and Afghanistan, the powers to be may have decided on opening up another front. Intimidate China to get your way. America has lost its political mind. She needs to come to her senses. A much more forceful international outcry is called for. The scourge of the US military running berserk around the world threatening left and right must be brought to an end. Taming of America should be the goal of every country and nation. Any other option has not worked and we are all involved in this.

Paranoia is the key word for Asia. How is it a direct threat to China? Sounds liek more Anti-American propaganda to me. America and South Korea called North Koreas bluff.

This report is obviously biased toward our vast worldwide, cross-the-boards RED China biz-nihilist power lobby. US troops are in South Korea BECAUSE, 60 years ago, North Korea, instigated by MAO and Stalin, invaded South Korea with the most massive artillery and rocket barrage history has EVER seen. YES, more massive than anything on the eastern front during WWII! FACT Its also a KNOWN FACT that RED China wants NO open, prosperous democratic societies on its borders. NONE. South Korea, by ALL accounts, is just that. South Korea is, in fact, the ONLY open, prosperous democracy ANYWHERE on the Far East mainland in history. Many scholars NOW agree, had the US prevailed in 1953, rather than 'holding the line' in the name of 'peace' that the illegitimate MAO regime would NOT have been able to maintain itself ---certainly NOT through such ghastly phases as its 'social engineering' crusades. IN FACT, had the Korean penninsula been libertaed and united there's a good chance that Vietnam would NEVER have happened ---and likewise Cambodia ---AND---MILLIONS of North Koreans would NOT have died in genocidal famines and the Cold War itself would have ended DECADES earlier. The Financial Times reported a few years back that even Kim Il Sung became AWARE that he himself had been duped by MAO. Recent scholarship claims he died of a stroke while reading the very brief of NK intelligence disclosures on the matter. -Deal with it!

Sean Paranoia? It seems you don't know your history. North Korea was razed with US carpet bombing in the 1950-53 Korean war. The United States refuses to let South Korea sign a peace treaty and remove all American troops from the Korean territory. The South Korean puppet government does whatever her master orders. It is the United States that is keeping the Koreans apart. It is the United States that killed more than 3 million Vietnamese in their own land. It is the United States that bombed Serbia for 78 days to force her to leave her ancestral land of Kosovo. Iraq and Afghanistan are still going on and the murderous acts of the US military are being revealed daily. I just mentioned four countries that the courageous military of the United States destroyed. Finally, and in this case most importantly, It is the United States than sank the Korean warship to create a casus belli for military threats around East Asia, especially to China for not supporting the US lie about the North Korean responsibility for the sinking of the South Korean Ship. Tiger tim You're are so out of it I won't waste my time on you.

So, the US is clairvoyant too?
