The Empire WANTED North Korea to Develop Nukes

EIR One-minute short: Bush and Cheney and Obama wanted North Korea to build nuclear weapons. But why would the West want them to have nuclear weapons? Because the target is not North Korea; it’s China. As long as you have this bugaboo of North Korea threatening the world with their nuclear weapons, you can go ahead and build up a massive force around China, the way they were in Europe where they’re building anti-ballistic missiles and moving NATO right up to the Russian border. Sending troops, tanks, planes right up to the Russian border. And in Asia doing the same thing, supposedly to counter North Korea. – Mike Billington
