thats a one sided analogy that assumes full blame rests on the part of one party. is north korea being threatened? no. does anyone threaten them? no. are they actively pursuing the development of nuclear weapons adn threatening others? yes. has all the US aid and western aid stopped them from a constant campaign for 50 years of convincing their population that they are still at war and under direct threat of attack?

no.

turn off the fire? how? by giving them oil, food and medicine for 10 years while they broke every agreement anyway? did it change their behaviors? no.


the world is not black and white. the causes are not black and white. the reasons are not black and white and the solutions are not black and white.
