North Korea detonated a miniature nuclear weapon today Jan 6th,
2016 that carries with it a new reality, which could threaten peace on the
Korean peninsula.
This will certainly keep a few people up at night,
especially at the Pentagon in Washington…
When the Korean War ended with an Armistice in 1953, no
lasting peace treaty was ever signed, leaving the two Koreas at war. The
continued US Military presence in South Korea has kept the two sides from
mending their differences ever since and has fed a steady escalation in
military posturing by both sides.
Today’s announcement by the North Korean Government, that
they successfully tested a miniature nuclear device, is the most serious
weapons escalation on the Korean peninsula to date.
Let’s get straight to the point.
In the aftermath of today’s Nuclear test announcement by
North Korea, their threat of a nuclear weapons build up and the possibility of
sharing this technology with other nations if the US Government continues to
threaten it, is of grave concern, because one of the options on the table at
the pentagon will be the pre-emptive and total destruction of the North Korean
regime. This military option will be strongly argued for in light of the serious threat carried
in the North Korean official statement. I don’t have to tell you what that
means…
If we consider the US policy defeat in the Middle East, the
belligerent war hawks in Washington will be screaming “Off with their heads”
and it will be difficult to stop their proposed course of military action
considering their position in Korea for the past 66 years.
The US Military’s argument will be to take out a serious North Korean threat by military force before they can build up an arsenal of nuclear weapons
or pass this technology onto other groups and it’s going to be difficult to
dissuade them because as much as the United States is criminally guilty for crippling North Korea with sanctions, invoking a trade war, and constantly provoking them militarily, Kim Jong Un’s North Korea has just made a serious threat, albeit
in response to American military threats.
Further Clarification
Here is the paragraph in the Official Statement that I'm referring to...
"The DPRK, a responsible nuclear-weapons state, will neither be
the first to use nuclear weapons nor transfer relevant means and technology
under any circumstances as already declared, as long as the hostile forces for
aggression do not encroach upon its sovereignty."...
North Korea states that they wont share their technology,
“as long as the hostile forces for aggression do not encroach upon its sovereignty...what this statement implies is, if the US or South Korea continues to harass
North Korea, (and you know they will), North Korea WILL share the nuclear technology with others...this is the part of the North Korean statement
that needs to be called out by everyone for clarification...it is very
dangerous.
The question arises, "Who would North Korea sell or trade their technology away to?"
When the US “continues” to harass North Korea and the UN
Security Council imposes more sanctions on North Korea for their nuclear test
on January 6th, 2016, there will be plenty of customers willing to
BUY a nuclear weapon from North Korea...Saudi Arabia comes to mind...here Saudi Arabia tries to buy a Nuclear Weapon from Pakistan...and you can be sure that Turkey will look for a protective edge as well based on their proven ties with terrorism in Syria and their Imperial aspirations of a New Ottoman Empire; a nuclear bomb would certainly go a long way to achieving that agenda...or simply to sooth Turkish President Erdogan's extreme paranoia
The US is Looking for Any Excuse to Destroy North Korea
The United States is not a rational regime when it comes to
any nation that exerts its economic independence, and so the US will not
negotiate, nor will it stop threatening North Korea. In fact, today’s
announcement might just give the green light to the insane American
military to start a war on North Korea even though the Korean War was never technically allowed to end.

testing of a Nuclear Weapon.

"There took place a world-startling event to be
specially recorded in the national history spanning 5,000 years in the exciting
period when all service personnel and people of the Democratic People’s
Republic of Korea are making a giant strides, performing eye-catching miracles
and exploits day by day after turning out as one in the all-out charge to bring
earlier the final victory of the revolutionary cause of Juche, true to the
militant appeal of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK).
The first H-bomb test was successfully conducted in the DPRK
at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Juche 105 (2016), pursuant to the strategic
determination of the WPK.
Through the test conducted with indigenous wisdom,
technology and efforts, the DPRK fully proved that the technological
specifications of the newly developed H-bomb for the purpose of the test were
accurate and scientifically verified the power of smaller H-bomb.
It was confirmed that the H-bomb test, conducted in a safe
and perfect manner, had no adverse impact on the ecological environment.
The test means a higher stage of the DPRK’s development of
nuclear force.
By succeeding in the H-bomb test...the DPRK proudly joined
the advanced ranks of nuclear weapons states possessed of even H-bomb and the
Korean people came to demonstrate the spirit of the dignified nation equipped
with the most powerful nuclear deterrent.
This test is a measure for self-defense the DPRK has taken
to firmly protect the sovereignty of the country and the vital right of the
nation from the ever-growing nuclear threat and blackmail by the U.S.-led
hostile forces and to reliably safeguard the peace on the Korean Peninsula and
regional security.
Since the appearance of the word hostility in the world,
there has been no precedent of such a deep-rooted, harsh and persistent policy
as the one the U.S. has pursued toward the DPRK.
The U.S. is a gang of cruel robbers which has worked hard to
bring a nuclear disaster to the DPRK, not content with having imposed the
thrice-cursed and unheard-of political isolation, economic blockade and
military pressure on it for the mere reason that it has differing ideology and
social system and refuses to yield to the former’s ambition for aggression.
The Korean Peninsula and its vicinity are turning into the
world’s biggest hot spot where a nuclear war may break out, since they have
been constantly stormed with all nuclear strike means of the U.S. imperialist
aggressor troops, including nuclear carrier strike group and nuclear strategic
flying corps.
While kicking up all forms of economic sanctions and
conspiratorial “human rights” rackets against the DPRK with the mobilization of
hostile forces, the U.S. has made desperate efforts to block its building of a
thriving nation and improvement of the people’s living standard and “bring down
its social system”.
The DPRK’s access to the H-bomb of justice, standing against
the U.S., the chieftain of aggression watching for a chance to attack it with
huge nukes of various types, is the legitimate right of a sovereign state for
self-defense and a very just step no one can slander.
Genuine peace and security cannot be achieved through
humiliating solicitation or compromise at the negotiating table.
The present-day grim reality clearly proves once again the
immutable truth that one’s destiny should be defended by one’s own efforts.
Nothing is more foolish than dropping a hunting gun before
herds of ferocious wolves....
The DPRK is a genuine peace-loving state, which has made all
efforts to protect peace on the Korean Peninsula and security in the region
from the U.S.’s vicious nuclear-war scenario.
The DPRK, a responsible nuclear-weapons state, will neither
be the first to use nuclear weapons nor transfer relevant means and technology
under any circumstances as already declared, as long as the hostile forces for
aggression do not encroach upon its sovereignty.
There can neither be suspended nuclear development nor
nuclear dismantlement on the part of the DPRK unless the U.S. has rolled back
its vicious hostile policy toward the former.
The army and people of the DPRK will steadily escalate their
nuclear deterrence of justice both in quality and quantity to reliably
guarantee the future of the revolutionary cause of Juche for all ages.
Juche Korea will be prosperous forever as it holds fast to
the great WPK’s line of simultaneously pushing forward the two fronts."

The real solution here is to end the Korean War once and for
all with a final peace agreement between the two Korea’s and for the United
States to leave the Korean Peninsula to let them sort out their own
differences…let cooler heads prevail.
Unfortunately, there are no cool heads in Washington…let’s
hope this ends well for the sake of everyone…
