Oh come on....
North Korea's strategic location is absolutely top notch.
Anyone who controlled it would have a LONG border with China. The possibilities are endless....
North Korea's border is only a few miles away from Russia's main pacific fleet harbour in Vladivostok....
And by controlling ALL of the Korean peninsula you also control the main freight routes in and out of Japan.
OF COURSE the USA wants to "liberate" North Korea and bring it some "democracy".
It's getting a bit expensive in China as well. North Korea has 30 million potential sweatshop labourers.... And they don't even drink Coca Cola yet... or wear Nike's and listen to Justin Bieber.
Of course they must be liberated.
The reality is:
The US is a destroyer of nations.
Iraq today (this latest ISIS group is taking over, and the whole country is a mayhem). And they didn't even have any WMDs. But they do have oil, and BP and others are in place, pumping out the oil, while people are dying across the country.
Libya - in total chaos. Under Ghaddafi, they lived in peace, with the best welfare system in Africa.
Syria, the US wanted to take down Bashar al Assad and a third of the country are now refugees almost, children are orphans and women are widows. Peoples houses and property are destroyed.
Ukraine - although other parties were involved, the US was key in bringing about the coup d'etat. Now Ukraine is worse off than ever.
Afghanistan - from the frying pan into the fire with the help of the USA.
.... and these places are just the tip of the iceberg.
