Korea another intervention gone awry.
“In a proposal opposed by nearly all Koreans, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to temporarily occupy the country as a trusteeship with the zone of control demarcated along the 38th parallel.”
I scooped this line from Wikipediea so of course there’s a great deal more involved in the dynamic of the Korean War that demands reflection and analysis but I don’t understand how anyone, American, Canadian Korean, Vietnamese, Haitian, German….anyone could suggest that this situation, which is exactly a copy of every exercise of military and economic domination that has inevitably resulted in festering sores like South Africa, Israel and Vietnam and by all indications so far, Afghanistan Iraq sitting on the precipice of chaos and civl war….
The grandchildren of many nations alive today must wonder about the years of war and suffering that were supposed to be “solved” by tearing their nations apart!
In the twenties… “Trianon, Treaty of, 1920, agreement following World War I in which the Allies disposed of Hungarian territories” …precipitated… “The internal chaos in Hungary that followed the dissolution (1918) of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy delayed the signing of a peace treaty with the Allies of World War I (excluding the United States and Russia, who did not sign it). The treaty, signed on June 4, 1920, at the Grand Trianon Palace at Versailles, France, reduced the size and population of Hungary by about two thirds, divesting it of virtually all areas that were not purely Magyar.
Every time the bully on the block whether that’s England, Russia, America, France Spain or anyone else with the military and economic superiority of the time acts, for what may appear at first blush to be with good intentions inevitably end up inviting war both civil and potentially world wide, by marching in and slicing up another nation to satisfy some agenda (usually as part of a “peace-plan” and then returning home where no-one has ever attempted a similar kind of action….
Hindsight is thankfully 20-20….or is it?
How many times has humanity revisited global hostilities that involved some nation with the “good intentions” of interceding to bring peace or stability (highly questionable in the majority of circumstances) that results in massive civil wars, invasion and years of hunger and poverty suffered by the nation’s people who are supposedly the recipients of all this good will and altruism?
And powerful nations continue to follow this policy despite a lengthy history of abject failure!
If your solution to hunger poverty and oppression is to kill the bastards and transplant your “democracy” and your way of living as the new standard, please tell me where that’s been done successfully?
Answer: It never has been.
It never has been because the fundamental understanding of what’s taking place is obscured by selfish motivations and dynamics that have nothing whatever to do with the altruism of facilitating someone or some nations independent evolution, it inevitably involves posturing before the wolves at the gate or simply as means to rape and pillage the nation at your leisure.
Go look it up and prove me wrong!
Why don’t we begin with Israel…..
The strategy is all wrong because the execution is flawed because it's an act of dissolution not an act that engenders inclusion. There's few statements as conclusive as "You're not capable of taking care of yourself so we're putting you in a home somewhere where we'll take care of you..."
Ask an elderly person or an ill person; A whole nation of people told their not capable of solving their own problems and instead require the big bad POLICEMAN standing on the porch remain vulnerable and never evolve.
that's what l call a UN negotiation.
