Let’s recognize that wars are rooted in white supremacist and racist ideology that believes only certain people deserve to control their destinies.

Despite a generally abysmal human rights record, North Korea has shown improvement in one specific area: disability rights.

The practical reality is this: To de-escalate this situation, the United States must be prepared to swallow its hubris and sit down with North Korea.

If the U.S. made a deal with Maoist China in the 1970s, it can surely cut one with North Korea today.

Seriously, humankind, what are we going to do?

What more needs to be said, by anyone, about potential, world-wide Trump disruption?

The more that Trump threatens North Korea the more paranoid its leaders become; and the more they intensify efforts to successfully develop a nuclear strike capability.

If Trump succeeds in ramping up military spending and gutting everything else, we’ll be left with a bunch of nukes and an underfunded state – and no one but China to keep us afloat.

It remains to be seen whether China and its allies have the diplomatic power to compel the parties, including the United States, to the negotiating table.

The times they are a-changin’ in North Korea.
