EDITOR – I WATCHED in shock on Tuesday as US President Donald Trump threatened to plunge the world into another World War during his speech at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly when he threatened to ‘destroy’ North Korea over its nuclear programme.
Editor, you have written about former Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in the past few weeks .
What we learn from the Col Gaddafi debacle is that he was tricked by Western powers into surrendering his nuclear war heads before they came after him and killed him.
Minutes after he abandoned his nuclear programme, the West, under the auspices of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) started raining bombs on his country until they found and murdered him.
Former Iraq President Saddam Hussein met the same fate but only this time it was because Britain and the US, then led by notorious warmongers Tony Blair and George W. Bush lied to the world that Hussein had what they called weapons of mass destruction.
This was despite intelligence from both the UN and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) indicating that Hussein had no such weapons at his disposal.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, whom Trump described as a ‘Rocket Man on a suicide mission for himself,’ faces a similar threat.
What Kim does with his nuclear capability has nothing to do with the US.
The North Korean leader has not threatened global peace and Trump must leave him alone.
Trump must be exposed for trying to disturb global peace and must thus be stopped at all costs.
