Trump’s Maiden U.N. Speech: “The Day After the Day Before When the WWIII Clock Started”

Trump's Own Reaction to Wiping North Korea off the Map

A Message We All Should Remember

Since the Korean War ended in an armistice (only a Cease Fire) in July 1953 (not a formal Peace Treaty), the same Kim family regime has portrayed the United States as an “imperialist aggressor” pursuing “hostile policy” to “invade and crush” North Korea — again. The same Kim family regime has kept alive the memories of the Korean War when the U.S. along with some 16 other UN nation armies destroyed 80 percent of all the buildings in the North and killed as many as 20 percent of its people. That is the North's motivation.

Today, North Korea’s streets as well as TV (only one Kim-controlled channel) and radio station (also only one Kim-controlled channel) blast the airwaves with calls to resist the American imperialists. All the while we see them hold massive parades as Kim makes appearances like a rock-star with people clinging to him while weeping tears of joy for his leadership. Even from a young age through cradle North Koreans start by watching government cartoons showing squirrels and hedgehogs (North Koreans) fighting off evil wolves (the United States).

The radio and TV has one theme: “The threat from the United States is the whole reason why we need to be strong and defensive and now our nuclear weapons will protect us more than ever.” The Kim regime tells the people, while denying them access to the Internet or any other outside information just what the Kim regime wants them to hear – not what they need to know.

Further, the Kim regime argues that only it via its military might is capable of protecting the country from the existential threat and invasion by “hostile foreign forces led by the United States.” Now after the latest from Trump, following his “fire and fury” sound bite, the Kim regime words ring more in his favor and as some North Korean experts say: “All of the depravity and the denial of rights is all justified by this (the Trump words) as the entire world watched and heard.”

In short, Trump’s words feed right into Kim's narrative almost verbatim.

Jung-Hee Pak, chairwoman of Korea studies at the Brookings Institution says: “This (Trump’s threat) will reinforce the [Kim regime] leadership’s position that the United States is hostile to North Korea. This is exactly what North Korea is talking about, and (Trump) said it right there on TV in front of the whole world. She concluded: Trump’s “demonizing of Kim personally will without doubt inflame the situation more.

At the UN, Trump referred to the 33-year-old Kim as “Rocket Man,” a moniker Trump used on Twitter two days earlier.

Directing criticism at the Kim’s is heretical for a regime that has created an all-encompassing personality cult around its past two leaders (Kim, Jong-Un’s father, Kim, Jong-il and his grandfather, founder of North Korea after WW II, Kim, Il-sung) and turned them into deities wherein everyone in North Korea wears a small lapel button with those “leaders” faces.

Previous attacks on Kim Jong-Un personally have elicited an out sized response:

e.g., when a UN commission of inquiry recommended that Kim be indicted in the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity, North Korea’s usually recalcitrant representatives at the UN strongly protested and even attended conferences to defend their leader.

“This (Trump) slander against their “Supreme Leader” in front of an international audience that is going to cause the Foreign Ministry to have to leap to the defense of Kim, whether or not Kim orders it,” said Robert Carlin, a former CIA analyst on North Korea who remains a close reader of North Korean statements.

Source for some of the above from the Washington Post, in part:

My 2-cents: What Trump has done is act like Kim with his belligerent rhetoric and inflammatory words – this will not help in any regards to cool the situation – is that what Trump wants? Is this what Kim needs? We are about to see and folks, it’s going to be as I have said for years – damn ugly.

Let’s face it, we in the West call our leaders nasty names and blast them in public and over the airwaves and it’s our right of free speech. North Korea uses that tactic as a propaganda tool, a reason to do the things they do and have done carefully documented since 1953 as a method to stay in power by controlling everything said and done in North Korea that fits the Kim agenda and nothing else.

Now we have picked up on the tune and who benefits? North Korea does as they blast over the airwaves more so: – “See we said so: America is ugly and nasty and aggressive and wants to wipe us out. We must stay ever more strong and ready to stop their invasion — ”

To be continued – for how long? Who knows?
