North Korea Poses No Nuclear Threat to the United States, and President Trump Says So by Jacob G. Hornberger

Just when you think that the Korean situation can not get more interesting, it does. The New York Times is "reporting" that President Trump has now declared that North Korea is "no longer a nuclear threat" to the United States. He said that Americans can now "sleep well tonight."

That is one remarkable development, especially since North Korea has not dismantled its nuclear weapons.

Remember: It was not too long ago when President Trump, the Pentagon, and the Central Intelligence Agency were saying that North Koreas nuclear missiles posed a grave threat to the United States. They said that such a situation could not be permitted to stand. If North Korea failed to "denuclearize," that meant that the United States would have to initiate a military strike to knock out North Koreas nuclear weapons before the North Koreans acquired the ability to strike United States targets at will.

Yet, today, suddenly, those nuclear weapons are no longer a threat to "National Security."

Who would have thunk it??

Apparently, however, Secretary of State and former Central Intelligence Agency Director Michael Pompeo has not gotten the memo because he just announced that the brutal system of United States sanctions on North Korea will continue until North Korea "denuclearizes."

But if North Koreas nuclear program poses no threat to the United States and if Americans can sleep well tonight, as President Trump says, what is the point of continuing to cause starvation and illness among the North Korean populace with sanctions??

Who is in charge here??

What is the reasoning behind President Trumps remarkable conclusion?

It is all based on his new relationship with his BFF, North Koreas dictator Kim Jung Un. The idea is that because President Trump traveled to Singapore to have a high-level summit with Kim, where President Trump showered Kim with accolades and compliments, the two leaders now have such a nice relationship and friendship with each other that Kim has now lost the will to kill the American people with nuclear bombs.

What a crock!!!

President Trump is just stating the obvious. As I have been long been pointing out, North Koreas nuclear missiles have never posed any threat to the United States, so long as the United States government did not attack or invade North Korea.

North Koreas nuclear missiles are not there to initiate a nuclear war with the United States. That is because North Korea knows that if it were to fire a nuclear missile or two toward the United States, the United States government would immediately respond with a nuclear carpet bombing of every square inch of North Korea.

The purpose of the North Korean missiles has always been defensive. Their purpose is to deter a United States attack on North Korea.

If the Pentagon or the Central Intelligence Agency attack North Korea, as they did with Cuba, Iraq, Panama, Guatemala, Chile, and other countries, then North Korea threatens to respond by firing its nuclear weapons as part of defensive military operations.

But here is the important point, one that is surely now dawning on President Trump, if not yet on Trumps army of acolytes: As long as the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency do not attack North Korea, the North Korean nuclear missiles do not present any threat to the United States.

Whether he realizes it or not, that is what has caused President Trump to issue his declaration. It has nothing to do with his new-found personal relationship with his new best friend. President Trump has issued his declaration because he has no intention of letting or ordering the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency to attack and invade North Korea.

The same thing occurred more than 50 years ago during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The United States Central Intelligence Agency had invaded Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. The Pentagon was exhorting President Kennedy to order a full-scale invasion of Cuba, with the goal of ousting Fidel Castro from power and replacing him with another pro-United States dictator, similar to Fulgencio Batista, the brutal and corrupt pro-United States dictator who Castro ousted from power. The Pentagon also recommended a false-flag operation called Operation Northwoods, which called for a fraudulent excuse for invading Cuba.

That is why Castro invited the Soviets to install nuclear weapons in Cuba. They were put there for the same reason the North Koreans have acquired nuclear weapons - to deter the United States government from attacking and invading Cuba (a country that had never attacked the United States or even threatened to do so) or, in the event of a United States invasion, to use the nuclear weapons in defense.

Ever since then, many mainstream commentators and United States public schoolteachers have taught that the Soviet missiles in Cuba were "offensive" in nature and that they posed a grave threat to the United States.

That is nonsense. The missiles were always "defensive," not offensive. They were never intended to start a nuclear war with the United States. They were intended to stop the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency from attacking and invading Cuba.

To resolve the crisis, President Kennedy made a deal, the same type of deal that President Trump is obviously trying to make with North Korea.

President Kennedy essentially said to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev: If you will remove your missiles, I vow to keep the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency from attacking and invading Cuba. Khrushchev accepted the deal. The missiles were withdrawn and President Kennedy prevented the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency from attacking and invading the island.

Needless to say, the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency were livid.

They called President Kennedys resolution of the crisis the worst defeat in United States history. In their eyes, President Kennedy was guilty of "appeasement." He had capitulated to the communists.

He had left a communist dagger permanently pointed at Americas neck from only 90 miles away from Americas shores.

In the eyes of the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency, President Kennedys actions had left America vulnerable to a communist takeover. (See FFFs book "JFKs War with the National Security Establishment: Why Kennedy Was Assassinated" by Douglas Horne (who served on the staff of the ARRB).)

President Trump has obviously shaken up the national-security establishment with his unilateral cancellation of Pentagon-Central Intelligence Agency war games with South Korea and also with his expressed desire to bring United States troops home from South Korea.

President Kennedy too shook up the national-security establishment with his unilateral dramatic announcement after the Cuban Missile Crisis to end the Cold War and establish peaceful and friendly relations with the Soviet Union (including Russia) and the rest of the communist world.

After the Singapore summit, the Pentagon immediately issued a statement referring to the United States governments "ironclad" alliance with South Korea.

The Pentagon is clearly throwing down the gauntlet. It is saying that under no circumstances will it ever permit President Trump to bring those 28,000 United States troops in South Korea home.

But what is the point of having United States troops in Korea??

If North Korea really did ever fire a nuclear missile at the United States, wouldn it not be a good thing that United States troops were not in the vicinity of a retaliatory nuclear carpet-bombing of North Korea?

The Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency know that they need those troops in South Korea to serve as an ongoing crisis flashpoint.

Crises and fear are the coins of the realm of a national-security state. The North Korean national-security establishment does the same thing to the North Korean people.

National-security establishments need to keep people anxious and afraid. That is what makes people feel like they need a national-security state. It is what keeps those military, intelligence, and surveillance budgets forever expanding.

What if United States troops were to come home and then North Korea reinvaded South Korea??

That prospect would be highly unlikely given that it is a virtual certainty that South Korea, with its economic strength and better-armed military, would win such a war.

Nonetheless, why is Koreas civil war any business of the Pentagon, the Central Intelligence Agency, or the rest of the United States government?

But in the event of such an invasion, the president, if he wanted, could still approach Congress and seek a congressional declaration of war against North Korea. That is the process outlined in the Constitution. And that is precisely why the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency do not want those United States troops to come home. They want them to be sacrificial lambs whose deaths will automatically commit the United States to war, the Constitution be damned.

President Trump is right: North Koreas nuclear missiles do not pose a threat to the United States. They never have posed a threat to the United States, not even before after President Trump and Kim became best friends forever. That is why there was never any reason for President Trump had to go to Singapore and shower a brutal and corrupt communist mass murderer, torturer, assassin, concentration camp operator, surveiller, censor, and destroyer of liberty with praise, honor, and compliments.

All that President Trump had to do - and has to do - is permanently cancel the Pentagon-Central Intelligence Agency war games with South Korea, immediately bring all United States troops home, lift the cruel and brutal sanctions, prevent the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency from attacking and invading North Korea, and leave Korea to the Koreans. That is the solution to the Korean crisis.
