North Korea, China, Japan, Russia, in a nutshell.

Conflict in Asia is moving fast and difficult to analyze quickly.  First of all, it is hard for me to trust mainstream given their admitted "fake news" with the NY Times. (video below this article).  Taking what is out there for us to cypher through takes being there to really know the reality.

Second, North Korea launched a failed missile last week to show muscle strength.  (video below). I doubt that NK has the weapons that can reach the west coast of the United States.  The way they may be able to succeed is by the use of submarines.  However, President Trump and other nations are attempting to peacefully hold them back through sanctions.  We need to have a good relationship with South Korea and their election for a new president will be in the beginning of May.  It would be best if Trump would wait to see who gets elected to understand their stance on the threat of conflict in that region.  At this point, South Korea and Japan are quickly installing a THAAD anti-missle system to track and shoot down incoming rockets from hitting the ground.  Surely, they feel the tension in the region.  North Korea, regularly threatens Japan, but this time with other nations ships in the sea, they feel the threat has increased in possibilities.

I do not think that North Korea will launch a nuclear weapon, because to do this would be suicide for them and Kim Jung Un is an intelligent man.  Culturally, he need to flex some muscles at this point.  It is also important to be aware that the need to maintain ones identity in face of the perceived threat from the US, is culturally strong.  When any nation, including the United States feels threatened, they will not just sit down and watch.  As with any leader, the leader must show equal force to the threat and take a stand for his or her people and country.

China's foreign minister views our presence as a threat to the region and would like us to withdrawal our missiles and stated that the US and North Korea are like" two speeding trains hurtling towards each other", he revealed in his speech  (video below) Yesterday, China continued to conduct training exercises near the Korean peninsula as their way of showing NK, to be careful.  Although China requests that the US withdrawal our nuclear weapons, they

Many nations have felt threatened either perceived or real with the election of President Trump, after he decided to have a clear military presence of generals near his side.  When military strength starts to become evident and flocked around, people get nervous keeping in mind the continuous military take incursions of other nations.  Iraq is a good example of a war that has been continuous costing trillions of US dollars and killing thousands of people was based on lies that were admitted and yet that "war" that was said to have stopped rolls on and on.  We have started wars over the bombing of the Trade Towers and yet, it is not yet proven without a doubt who was responsible and how the buildings fell down.  The US is still in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and now Syria because of the US created (admitted) ISIS group, then Osama Bin Ladan, who does not exist anymore...or does he?  (I had to throw that in there). Of course the other nations do not trust the US who flexes its muscles at whomever it desires to do so.

In the meantime, Iran is in the picture with the United States considering lifting sanctions on nuclear deals.  (video below) while Russia warns the US if they attack North Korea (video below). Russia feels that moving the DPRK missiles is not a way to come to a peaceful resolution.  I agree.

The UN Security Council warns NK from continuing with their nuclear tests or face sanctions while Russia moved troops and equipment to the NK border.  (video below) It is time for Kim Jung Un to humble himself before his people and stop the testing of his weapons.  He is surrounded by armies of many nations and to continue to do his testing could possibly be an act of suicide.

Now keep in mind that there has been an international problem with North Korea for a long time and this conflict has finally come to a head, hopefully they can resolve this problem peacefully.

As for Syria, they recently moved its warplanes to a Russian base in fear of US strikes.  (today, 20 April). Nikki Haley the US ambassador to the United Nations said that "Regime Change in Syria is now a top priority for Trump."  We knew that a regime change was the objective, and this is against Russia's desires.  Note:  Regime change was a concern 6 months and a year ago.  It seems that Trump is keeping the same objectives as the past presidents of the US.  (video's below)

Analysis of the American Missile Attack on Syria

LUCAS JACKSON / Reuters

Dear President Trump,

Regarding to Foreign Policy:
I am saddened by our recent strike in Syria. I disagree that this is for protection of America, this conflict is on foreign soil, not ours.  I am speaking from a person who served 10 years (non military) in the ME as a photojournalist/reporter, humanitarian worker with a master in conflict analysis.  Please do not pull our sentimental strings on this recent chemical attack as justification for us to spend money that we do not have to go into another country with feet on the ground diving into another endless war.
What did Assad have to gain by launching a chemical attack on his own citizens?  Nothing, because he knows the last thing that he needed to do when other countries are staring him down was to provoke  conflict with US, Britain, etc...  He is not a stupid man.  Where did the reporting come from regarding this attack? The doctor was a part of a group connected to the kidnapping of the British reporter, tweeted at the same time, videoing men with white helmets directly touching victims without protection and an Assad hating man released images. The nerve agent used will immediately kill those who come in contact within one minute of exposure, they need a gloves,  gas masks and no one was harmed without protection?  Hello?
You talk about fake news and propaganda, but where are your intelligent advisors?  This seems to be a story written for the dumbing of Americans.  This is a time warp situation, from 2003, to justify the evasion.  You could have been Blair or Bush.  Either the situation was created (beautiful babies? really?) to be a problem emotional reaction, solution.  My question to you is who benefits?  My conclusion is the benefit is to remove Assad from control and take over the country.  No one waited before we went in, to investigate the attack.  We do not know the delivery system of the attack, the principle is don't let too long go before response, because the chance to respond will get destroyed.
I now believe that you are also controlled by the same people Hillary was, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya were countries on her list. We were lied to once (Iraq) now it is the same.  I voted for you.  If this is not true,  then please, send me to DC and  let me speak to your generals.  Let me be on your advising team as an American citizen to offer a different perspective from those who have been in key positions for a long time. I speak four languages, worked in international mediation.

Thank you.

My additional take:

Nothing has changed, the same countries named the same situation.  Syria is a proxy war.  A British official admitted that two years ago that there were preparing something in Syria through the invasion of rebels. This is  before it all started, before the connection to Israel.  November 30, 2010, one month before the Arab Spring, US warfare unconventional warfare strategy requires that target state population perceptions are first grouped into accepting an armed interaction using propaganda, political psychological evidence to discredit the government creating local and national agitation, helping organize boycotts, public strikes and protests. to suggest public discontent before public propaganda, money, weapons and materials are brought in.  If the target country responds through retaliation then the resistance can exploit the negative consequences to garner more sympathy and support by the population emphasizing the sacrificing and hardships on the behalf of the people to use that for our benefit.

Putin could see where this was going before the U.S. election that they were not trying to remove ISIS from the Middle East and from Syria, because the idea was to use ISIS that America created was a way to get rid of Assad. (remember the loss of trillions of dollars in the pentagon?) If Putin did not give air support to Assad, then Assad would be gone by now.  The place would be overrun by Saudi funded, American ISIS madmen.  With the help of Putin's army, Assad has been able to push back these funded ISIS terrorists taking back Allepo and pushing back Palmyra.  The civil war has gone on for over 5 years where half the country has been destroyed.

The plan to remove Assad did not work with Putin being successful, the oil executives said for the first time that removing Assad would not be a prerequisite for solving the problem in Syria.  In turn, this Syrian gas attack, based on no evidence, has been used quickly to justify the incursion into Syria.

So now, where does that leave Russia and China?  The prize country or next country will be Iran.  If Syria goes as a result of this hoax then Iran and then Lebanon will be next.  Putin has called off the attack as unjustified, as he is right.  Remember how our mainstream media started talking about Russia lately, demonizing them as the enemy is all part of the strategy.

A side note:  This is a good example of how the public is duped by propaganda and fake news.  Mainstream reporters gets the daily telly, and if they question what they are reading then they are ridiculed by their peers.  This is arrogance and ignorance to transform global society into justification of power.

Think about the recent censorship going on with You Tube, Twitter and the tickers for Google news.  Think about how Germany is going to fine hate speech with 5 million in fines for social media.
The original plan? He did not let Russia know.
