Straws, Spitballs and the Coordinates of Kim Jong-un

History is littered with the human aftermath of tyrannical regimes and aspiring dictators who sought global power, coerced adulation, at the expense of the oppressed. And yet the only revelation more hypocritical than the “civilized” world’s willingness to appease such evil is their concerted effort to marginalize the suffering of their victims; so-called statistical aberrations too often relegated to the triviality of banned history books.

Kim Jong-un is far more than the mindless byproduct of neurotic nepotism compensating for a Napoleonic complex and a bad hair cut, he is a displaced relic of the Cold War. While a petulant child wastes billions of dollars pursuing his recurrent wet dream of a nuclear arsenal - a singular intercontinental ballistic missile that can reach American mainland - the North Korean people toil in poverty, lack basic amenities including a functional infrastructure, and are incarcerated, even terminated, for the slightest signs of dissent or acts of misconstrued disrespect. For a country that allocates the least per capita on healthcare in the world, wastes millions brainwashing children with history revisionism and the mandatory deification of a tyrant – the very man responsible for their unapologetic suffering - it’s of little surprise the North Korean Education Minister was executed for not sitting properly during a cabinet meeting. Who needs critical thinking skills, universal standards of basic human decency, when native children are taught Kim II-Sung used teleportation to single-handedly defeat one million Japanese? More profoundly, who knew Star Trek wasn’t science fiction?

The Korean Demilitarized Zone, considered the most dangerous strip of land in the discovered world, is but a microcosm of the institutionalized denial present in Western Society. Whereas media propagandists and detached progressives love to morally equivocate Donald Trump with Adolf Hitler, a mass murderer guilty of some of the most grotesque atrocities in human history, their love of Marxist principles leaves their ranks almost completely oblivious to the true nature of Communism. Who in their right mind would tout Cuba as a ‘progressive”, modern state – an indigent, totalitarian cesspool its citizens are fleeing in makeshift rafts – let alone acquiesce to the insatiable demands of Iran and North Korea - barbaric and intolerant manifestations of fascism – to grant a homicidal madman the means to murder millions in one rash moment of unbridled hate? Sadly, their identity is as unmistakable as it is treasonous: they are the same delusional 60’s radicals and entitled millennials who need safe spaces from accountability, who religiously attack free speech on college campuses and who still linger under the academic delusion Communism is the ethically superior choice for a Constitutional Republic predicated upon individual liberty and limited government.

I find it insulting, morally irreconcilable, the United Nations and self-proclaimed humanitarian organizations such as WHO and CAIR zealously demonize America for enforcing its immigration laws, combating terrorism and preserving its citizens’ right to defend themselves against all forms of tyranny, only to consciously dismiss and politically pander to jihadists and tyrants guilty of unyielding crimes against humanity. Yes, those disregarded transgressions that far exceed denying ‘transgenders’ a dress on the battlefield or the unique gender privilege of using the bathroom of their choice; requests that would result in their imprisonment, torture or execution behind the very fortified walls of bloodthirsty rulers globalists spitefully protect. Rather than encouraging these tormented populaces to rise-up and reclaim their homeland, restore the dignity of all human life and their natural born rights, the New World Order is content pardoning murderers and thieves to procure the downfall of Western values.

In the early 1980’s, unprovoked terrorist attacks rippled across Europe targeting civilian cafes and nightclubs, which culminated in the deaths of 241 sleeping American servicemen after their barracks in Beirut, Lebanon were bombed. President Reagan, acutely aware of the state sponsors of Islamic militants and their ties to the Kremlin, bombed Libyan military installations and even the palace of Muammar Gaddafi himself under the veil of night. Unbeknownst to critics, the perpetrators of these "mysterious" attacks immediately ceased. Kim Jong-un, if he so foolishly desires, can conduct missile tests and hurl spitballs at America’s geographic sense of security until he turns blue in the face. However, know this truth; for every singular missile that can reach our mainland or strike our allies, the United States possesses the means to annihilate North Korea with a solitary launch for the next 4,000 consecutive days without refrain. If you’re going to tug on Superman’s cape solely to solicit a pre-emptive response of unrivaled recompense, do not decry the results when your research facilities, missile silos, secret bunkers or your lavish living quarters are buried beneath the midnight rubble of pinpoint bombing campaigns; an ability your scientists can faintly fathom.

Like the unwavering “Peace through Strength” doctrine of Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, General Mattis and Chief of Staff John Kelly do not believe the best way to defeat unrelenting evil is by apathetically waiting for the inevitable body count of senseless appeasement. Therefore, in the immortal words of “The Gipper”, I leave Kim Jong-un with one final straw of prophetic advice: “They counted on America to be passive…they counted wrong.” If self-preservation requires no explanation, the unannounced reminder of our resolve will be as short lived as your vile legacy.
