Korean Peninsula Tensions Risk Boiling Over by Stephen Lendman On Wednesday, addressing State Department staff, Rex Tillerson stressed “leaning hard” on China to pressure Pyongyang on denuclearizing the Korean peninsula “backed up by very strong (US) resolve…” “So it’s a pressure campaign…to lean into people” to go along with Washington’s agenda. “We’ve told them we’re watching what you’re doing.” Punishment will be administered to non-compliers by sanctions and other means, he said. His message was meant mainly for Beijing - on North Korea, trade and South China Sea issues. Friendly bilateral relations depend on ...

McMaster's remarks supportive of President Donald Trump's call for South Korea to pay for a U.S. missile shield reaffirmed that Washington wants to renegotiate the terms of the agreement despite Seoul's denial. Analysts say the Trump administration's inconsistency will harm the Korea-U.S. alliance and cause stronger public opposition to the deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery here. McMaster opened the possibility of renegotiation, saying he would not contradict the U.S. president, during an interview with Fox News Sunday. In that ...

The Illusion of US Cooperating With Russia in Combating Terrorism by Stephen Lendman America created and supports ISIS, al-Nusra and likeminded terrorist groups in Syria, the Middle East and elsewhere. No US cooperation with Russia exists in combating this scourge. Rhetorical promises or suggestions otherwise by Washington are meaningless. US preemptively waged wars aim to replace sovereign independent governments with pro-Western ones - in Syria and elsewhere. Its relations with Russia remain irreconcilably adversarial because its deep state wants pro-Western governance replacing its sovereign independence. Putin and China’s leadership are America’s main obstacles to ...

Fifty-five years ago, the U.S. tested a nuclear weapon high above the atmosphere over the Pacific. At the time, my father -- a nuclear weapons engineer -- was listening on our ham radio.When the device exploded, we heard nothing in Albuquerque. But, in Honolulu, 1000 miles from the detonation, the sky turned red as streetlights and telephones went out. EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) effects from the distant nuclear explosion had struck.Today we hear concern that cities might be destroyed by North Korean nuclear tipped missiles, but Starfish Prime should alert us to a more imminent danger: EMP. North Korea can launch an EMP attack before it has developed nuclear missile technology, and EMP may ...

President Trump’s apparent feckless impulsiveness in dropping weapons of mass destruction (MOAB – the largest non-nuclear bomb ever unleashed, tested on the people of Afghanistan) (image left below) and fifty-nine Tomahawk Cruise Missiles on Syria, exactly a week apart, on 6th and 13th April respectively, has unnerved much of the world His threats to Iran and North Korea, the latter even invoking a possible US nuclear attack without, apparently, even being aware of the consequences, are the stuff of nightmares, indeed of the chilling film “The Day After.” Someone should send the movie-loving President a copy. Trump, it is reported, does not read so is probably unaware ...

An adviser to South Korea's leading presidential candidate says it would be "impossible" for his country to pay for a U.S. missile defense system, as President Trump has demanded. In an interview with Reuters Thursday, Trump said he wanted to make South Korea pay for the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system being installed in South Korea. The system is meant to shoot down any missiles fired at South Korea by its aggressive neighbor to the north. Trump estimated the system costs about $1 billion. "I informed South Korea it would be appropriate if they paid. It's a billion-dollar system," Trump said. "It's phenomenal, shoots missiles right ...

China v.

Sypers... DAMASCUS: Another pathetic effort by Zionist ghetto rodents to demonstrate commitment to Jihadist allies fighting the Syrian people was exposed today as a complete failure. SyrPer has learned that the explosions were set off by Zionist aircraft flying over Occupied Palestine and firing missiles off-target. The missiles struck a fuel depot at the Marj Ruhayyil AB used for commercial and military aircraft. Other than a ball of fire, the attack accomplished next to nothing.
