Every time the NorKs tests a missile, Mother Gaia fries a leftist’s brain

Even the proliferation and expansion of nuclear arsenals can sway so called “anti-war” types from their REAL enemy: their own cultures.
The content and the tone of the World Socialist Web Site’s item: “US steps up provocations against North Korea” says it all – war is always wrong unless those warheads are pointed at Japanese and South Korean Capitalists, and from the perfidiously less-communist-than-last-week Chinese.

No one is claiming North Korea has a rational government, but any halfway-skilled diplomat could do better than that, and many have»
