The US is calling for tougher sanctions against North Korea for testing a nuclear weapon. The hypocrisy is mind blowing. The only country in the world to have wiped out two towns in Japan with nuclear weapons the US has been involved in genocide for decades. Dioxin over Vietnam and Laos, depeleted uranium on Iraq, the US refuses to appologise for its crimes let alone pay compensation. What the US is saying is that we have the right to kill you or wipe you out if we please but you should not develop any capacity for self defence in case you hurt any American. The other criminal nation in this complicated puzzle is, of course, China. Hated and feared by all its neighbours its danger is multiplied by it being uncivilised and by its voracious appetite. It is the only supporter of the North Korean regime which is overseeing the gradual death of its people due to starvation. The Burmese junta continues to murder its people due to China's support. Pakistan's nuclear weapons were developed by China. It is feared by its South East Asian neighbours such as Phillipines because of its aggression over the Spratley Islands. It threatens Japan and Taiwan who have to depend on US help for survival. The other major threat of China is the ecology of the entire region. The Chinese tendency to eat anything means they are wiping out all living creatures from tigers to sea horses and may turn the whole of Asia into a barren land. The US in the west and China in the east, will the world survive?
