Insane policy towards North Korea

NOVANEWS By Ron Forthofer This year we commemorate the 72nd anniversary of the unjustifiable US use of nuclear weapons against civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those two attacks demonstrated the horrific power of the atomic bomb, a bomb that is tiny in comparison to the nuclear weapons available today. Here are a few quotes that are worth pondering as we now face an avoidable crisis with North Korea, a nation with a few nuclear weapons. After the initial use of atomic weapons, Admiral William Leahy, effectively Chief of Staff to presidents Roosevelt and Truman, commented: It is my opinion that the use of the barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan … My own feeling was that in being the first to use it, we had adopted an ethi...

North Korea and the “Axis of Evil”

NOVANEWS By S. Brian Willson Global Research This 2004 article by award winning author, peace activist and Vietnam war veteran Brian Willson brings to light the process of demonization directed against the people of North Korea. In the words of General Curtis Lemay who led the bombing raids during the Korean war: “Over a period of three years or so we killed off – what – twenty percent of the population.” According to Brian Willson: “It is now believed that the population north of the imposed 38th Parallel lost nearly a third its population of 8 – 9 million people during the 37-month long “hot” war, 1950 – 1953, perhaps an unprecedented percentage of mortality suffered by one nation due to the belligerance of another.” Let us carefully analyze the current context of co...

Scott Adams explains why the media cover so little of North Korea and so much of Russia (Video)

NOVANEWS ALEX CHRISTOFOROU Forget Russia, North Korea is the real threat to the United States. North Korea launched another ballistic missile, but it was unclear whether it was another intercontinental ballistic missile. ‘Dilbert’ creator Scott Adams and Tucker Carlson discuss why the media should be focusing on North Korea fact, but instead push a fake “Russia did it” lie. According to Adams, Russia story has all “the elements for the perfect story.” The Russia fake news narrative, concocted by Hillary Clinton to explain away her pathetic loss to Donald Trump, has the one key element that North Korea facts do not have. According to Adams, the entire “Russia fake news” fairytale has people saying…”That couldn’t possibly be true.” Adams explains that Russia fake news gets more a...

3 countries subject to US sanctions offer 3 defiant responses

NOVANEWS ADAM GARRIE American sanctions are a symptom of geo-political bullying. Sanctions are a bellicose act that ought to be banned by the international community, even though they are less effective today than they have ever been in the recent past. The new sanctions bill which will soon appear on Donald Trump’s desk targets three countries: Russia, Iran and North Korea. Each country has responded in three different yet equally defiant ways. 1. Russia The sanctions against Russia have been the most widely discussed for three reasons. a. Donald Trump continues to be accused (without evidence) of having ties with Russia and furthermore it is accused that Russia hacked the DNC’s computers (also with no evidence) during the 2016 US election. b. Donald Trump campaigned on a pl...

If North Korea didn’t exist the US would create it

NOVANEWS Reuters Nizar Visram There is only one reason why the US is obsessed with North Korea. It allows the US to maintain a massive military presence in East Asia. If not for tensions on the Korean peninsula, the US would lose its rationale for its network of military bases in the region, which are primarily meant to threaten and contain China. In its latest move early June 2017, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) unanimously adopted a resolution drafted by the United States to expand the scope of sanctions against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) over its latest missile tests. Prior to this the UNSC had slapped North Korea with six rounds of sanctions, but Washington and its allies have been pushing for more powerf...

US rejects Russo-Chinese proposal to suspend drills in South Korea

NOVANEWS The US rejects a proposal by Russia and China to suspend joint drills with South Korea in exchange for North Korea freezing its nuclear weapons programs, the State Department said, adding that Washington does not see the activities as equivalent. US drills with South Korea are not the same as North Korea’s missile and nuclear tests, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told reporters Thursday. “These are all things that have taken place since the 1950s. So that wouldn’t change,” Nauert said, describing the drills as lawful and longstanding. “We do these kinds of exercises and have relationships like this all over the globe. If China and Russia decide to come out against that, that is not going to change our position,” she added. Moscow and Beijing have called on Wash...

China warns against escalation of tensions over North Korea

NOVANEWS China has warned against any rhetoric and action that could further escalate tensions on the Korean Peninsula, two days after Pyongyang test-fired its first ever intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). “We also call on relevant parties to stay calm, exercise restraint, refrain from words and deeds that may heighten tensions, and jointly make effort for the easing of tensions,” said China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang in a press conference on Thursday. North Korea announced on Tuesday that it had successfully tested the ICBM, with the North’s leader Kim Jong-un calling it a gift to the United States on July 4, America’s Independence Day. Shuang’s comments came after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson strongly condemned the launch and described it as a new escal...

Military Action Should Be Excluded as Response to N. Korea

NOVANEWS Military action should not be an option considered in possible responses to North Korea’s recent launch of an ICBM and its continued work on a nuclear program, Russia’s Deputy Envoy to the United Nations Vladimir Safronkov said during a UN Security Council meeting on Wednesday. “The possibility of taking military measures to resolve the problems of the Korean peninsula should be excluded,” Safronkov stated. He also said any attempt to economically strangle North Korea in response to its missile test would be unacceptable. “Attempts to economically strangle North Korea are equally unacceptable, as millions of people are in humanitarian need,” Safronkov said, after warning the Security Council countries against pursuing any military option. Instead, the situation around the re...

‘US should end Korean War, sign a peace treaty with North Korea’

NOVANEWS The most sensible path, at this point, is for the US to end the Korean War, sign a peace treaty with North Korea, and withdraw its troops from the Korean peninsula, Hyun Lee, a member of the National Campaign to End the Korean War, told RT. South Korean and US forces fired missiles into the Sea of Japan in a display of resolve toward North Korea as a part of a joint ballistic missile exercise between Washington and Seoul. According to officials, the exercise used missiles that can be “easily deployed”. It all came in response to North Korea’s latest missile test on Tuesday, which the Pentagon said was an intercontinental ballistic missile. RT: North Korea is clearly aware the US and South Korea possess a wide range of missiles. Was this show of force really necessary? Hyun ...

North Korea claims major breakthrough with first ICBM test

NOVANEWS Undated picture released from North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency on Jan. 10, 2016 shows North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un delivering a speech at the Ministry of the People's Armed Forces in Pyongyang (AFP). North Korea’s declaration that it had successfully tested its first intercontinental ballistic missile able to reach the US mainland triggered a joint Chinese-Russian appeal for a military freeze to lower the tension between Pyongyang and Washington. Experts said the device could reach Alaska. The launch came as Americans prepared to mark Independence Day and sparked a Twitter outburst from President Donald Trump who urged China to act to “end this nonsense once and for all”. The North’s possession of a working ICBM — something that Trump has vowed “won’t h...
