A Look At How The Media Is Covering The North Korean Crisis


WNU Editor: After watching the news for 2 days on the North Korean crisis .... the above cartoon pretty well sums up how some in the media have been covering this story.

This is the same media that has been hysterically pushing for war against Russia leveling once false and slanderous allegation against Russia and the their leaders after another, supported vicious sanctions against the Russian people, and acted gleefully throughout the process. Now these same media are having spasms over what President Trump is saying with regards to tiny North Korea!!

At least North Korea is tiny by Russian standards. These people are either crazy, stupid, or some combination of the two. Perhaps had they along with their crazy allies in Congress not acted so recklessly as to derail careful negotiations between Trump officials and the Russian leadership perhaps we might have been able to procure Russian help much sooner against North Korea and we might not be in the current predicament.

It seems Team Trump may actually be able to pull this one out in spite of the stupidity and insanity of these people. While the sanctions against North Korea are not perfect as oil apparently is not included, this is a HUGE step in the right direction and getting Russia and China to agree to ANY sanctions on North Korea is a diplomatic feat of ENORMOUS proportions.

This is going to greatly constrain the ability of North Korea to act in the event of a war. Having this in place has very likely encouraged team Trump with regards to the rhetoric. In other words, team Trump and the US are in a much better position to act boldly and make provocative statements. With that said North Korea is still a VERY powerful country and can do SEVERE damage to the US. This is NOT to be taken lightly.

Perhaps if the media and others are so concerned about what Trump says they should have encouraged Russia and China to veto the sanctions resolution. This would have greatly constrained America's ability to act hence meaning the rhetoric is much milder. Perhaps this is what they want.
