Our "allies" are those people, both in the civilian population and in government, that embrace liberty, peace, and constitutional government. Our enemies are those elements that oppose things…this holds regardless of state, country, ethnicity, or any other arbitrary dividing line the enemy employs to divide us. This is a struggle against international interests that have taken root in governments across the world.
The cold war mentality is over.
No, we stand with the people of North Korea. Just like we stand with the people of France, Great Britain, Iran, etc…who are struggling against powers they cannot control or even understand just as you cannot understand. If you frequent this board, then you would soon realize that Kim has been controlled - through finance and other means - by western interests, for the purposes of affecting the geopolitical climate (i.e. scaring you). Those strings have been cut, making negotiation possible, which we support for not only the betterment of the U.S., for the Korean people - both North and South - and the world as well.
If it's possible to persuade a ruthless dictator to stop doing what he's been doing and embrace peace with the rest of the world, you wouldn't do it? You would condemn the people of that country to further suffering through war or sanction?…or is it their fault that a dictators boot is on their neck?
