The only dog who needs to be leashed is the US government. They're the ones going around the world attacking and destroying country after country for no reason at all. Who has North Korea attacked? Nobody. Just like Iran hasn't attacked anyone either. The US government is nothing more than an instrument of death and destruction, wielded by profiteering bankers and arms manufacturers who want to rule the world. And westerners are none the wiser thanks to a corporate media who relentlessly conditions and propagandizes them.

No doubt they have. The CIA is the most meddlesome organization in the world. They are the secret army of the corporate overlords who own the west. Any nation that doesn't submit to the rule of international capitalists is targeted by the CIA for isolation, subversion and destabilization. If that doesn't work, then the next step is military action. We've seen it again and again and again. And it's this pattern of meddlesome, aggressive behavior that caused North Korea to pursue nuclear weaponry. They've seen what happens to countries who don't have nukes.

Do you mean the very same military exercises that have been jointly conducted between the US and South Korea now, since the Korean Conflict ended in an armistice, in 1953?
Uh, I believe that it is Kim Jong-un that has made these threats...
Why, exactly, would we need to begin "peace talks"?
I suppose that it could be argued, technically, that we never ceased our war with North Korea, since the Korean Conflict ended only in an armistice; but there has certainly been no armed conflict on the Korean Peninsula, involving the US, for 64 years now...
That sounds like just another pitch for "multilateralism"--a.k.a. globalism.
And I have far more respect for my toilet tissue than I have for globalism...
Of course the US does not "own the entire planet."
But neither does North Korea...

That's a 'black or white', 'if you are not with us, you are against us' type of reaction. And I'm sure Ethereal is not the only American who is aware of those things, and has the courage to say them. These are historical facts, not a question of taking sides, and the web is full of sites proving what Ethereal writes is fact.
And the US-led invasion of Iraq, a nation which has never attacked the USA, does seem to give credibility to his theory that many nations will think the best way to avoid being attacked or invaded by anyone would be to have nuclear weapons.
Any American who can read can get access to this information, but totally nationalistic Americans will choose not to. So it is unfair to accuse Ethereal of being anti-American cos he tells the truth about your history. It is not anti-American to talk about these things, any more than it is anti-British to talk about the occupation of North America - it is just history. The biggest kid on the playing field is almost always the biggest bully.
Oh, I wish I were a glow worm,
for a glow worm's never glum,
'cause how can you be grumpy
when the sun shines out your bum!
