Neo-Cons, Anglophiles Go Berserk, Call for War on North Korea

Even as South Korean President Park Geun-hye was telling her Cabinet yesterday that she is strongly supporting holding high-level meetings, and perhaps even a leadership summit, with North Korea, the neo-cons and other Anglophiles in the U.S. are openly calling for war on North Korea, both “color revolution,” and outright war.

Both Richard Haass, President of the Council on Foreign Relations (the U.S. headquarters for the British liberal imperialists in the U.S.), and neo-con “Korea expert” Victor Cha, now at CSIS, issued blood-curdling calls for war, which are clearly aimed at South Korea, China, and Russia, as much as at North Korea itself.

Haass, in an op-ed written on Dec. 23 for the Wall Street Journal, titled ominously “Time To End the North Korean Threat,” lies wildly that both South Korea and China are now ready to be brought into an alliance with the U.S. and Japan to wipe out North Korea and force re-unification. He says there are proposals for punishing North Korea for the hacking of Sony (which they almost certainly did not do) ranging from a

“cyberattack to weaken North Korean political and military assets to relisting the country as a state sponsor of terrorism, presumably accompanied by new sanctions. These ideas are fine as far as they go, but they don’t go far enough…. Only one approach is commensurate with the challenge: ending North Korea’s existence as an independent entity and reunifying the Korean Peninsula…
The U.S. needs to work with South Korea (and, if possible, Japan) to try to undermine North Korea from within. This would involve extending support to nongovernment organizations and others trying to get information to people inside this closed but not impermeable country.”

Victor Cha, who was George W. Bush’s top advisor on North Korean affairs, remarked:

“The United States is likely to see the next series of North Korean nuclear and ballistic missile tests [this year]. These may demonstrate Pyongyang’s crossing of a new technology threshold, such as warhead miniaturization, a uranium-based test, more accurate ballistic missile or nuclear fusion capabilities.
The administration must be prepared to meet these provocations with concrete measures that acknowledge the necessity of deterring a nuclear North Korea,”

Cha then called for THAAD missiles to be deployed in South Korea–a policy the Park Administration rejects as being aimed at China, not North Korea. These developments indicate that all of these provocations, from Haass to Cha and so on, are not aimed at North Korea, but are merely one of the potential trigger points for a larger confrontation involving Russia, China and the U.S.
