I deleted my previous comment because I cannot figure out a way to respond to this without being an a**hole. At least Yoshi tries to defend his position, you just vomit year-old talking points.
This is lazy, if your going to accuse the US of this, you can do better than this junk.
Nothing to do with the US or its population, I admire the principles upon which the US has been founded, it made this country the first real free country in the world and was at the time a real beacon of light for the rest of the world but since then this country has been highjacked, mind you some of my idols are american .The US is just as a victim as the rest of the world, my post was aimed at the rogue US governement whose loyalty lies towards its corporate masters interests, these corporate interests have no nationality but they will use and abuse their overwhelming power, mostly financial, to force the governement to do their bidding, it's the same in my country.
Now tell me where is the junk in my post ? the US trough the UN has sanctionned again and again NK it is a fact, the US keeps on provoking NK by their constant exerxises near the NK coast or more recently with their B2 bombers. Which independent country would like to see its airspace or coast violated by an another country ? Who do you think will suffer from the sanctions on NK ? the majority of poor north koreans or the dictactors in Pyongang ?
Here are some other facts, the US has been at constant war since WW2 whether against communist threat, now islamic threat (financed by US to stop the communist threat) and go figure who will be the future bogeyman. The US has overthrown democratically elected leaders (Alliende, Mossadegh, the coup on Hugo Chavez) whose only crime was to nationalize ressources for its people instead of letting the american, english, french corporations profits from these same ressources for their own gain. Of course all of this in the name of national security, or national interests (nothing more than corporate interests in fact). The US speak about terrorism to justify wars when it's the first to support the Saudi regime (the highjackers in 9/11 were mostly from this country) who teaches the most radical form of Islam and finance Madrassa all troughout the muslim world and is home to many terrorists.
It's the same bullsh** as the weapons of mass destruction in Irak which resulted in the utter rape of this country with the use of depleted uranium on civilian populations, a country which has suffered the loss of 500000 child thanks to US sanctions which Madeleine Albright deemed necessary, or the gulf of Tonkin scam. Time and time again history has proved that the reasons for wars are never the one we are given at first, I'm sure it's the same right now.
It has nothing to do with the US, the US is just one of many actors in the grand scheme albeit the most important one, it has everything to do with rogue governement and state sponspored terrorism. My country (France) is just as guilty if not more, I have studied geopolitics for over a decade and had access to some of the archives of the governement, it was really enlightening to know how much we are lied to, all of this with the help of the press. I don't care if you're offended it doesn't change one fact, that doesn't mean I support the loony dictators in NK but I will oppose any kind of oppression and speak about it whether abroad or at home.
