Err this sounds like a new planned war to me >> The US baking cartels & cooperation's historically have had a nasty habit with "setting up" conflicts in South East Asia in the past

cough "gulf of Tonkin incident" cough "Vietnam" cough "Korea" (wouldn't be the 1st time) cough "the Philippines" cough >> just to name a few


How exactly does destabilizing the already fragile political relationships within the Korean peninsula benefit the United States or a subsidiary corporation? There are times when "conspiracy" theories make sense and there are times when the irrationality of a situation cannot be blatantly thrust upon an unwitting party without any justification.

it benefits the corporation when they indirectly sell & supply both party's in a conflict. & its not a conspiracy its historical fact. shit like this has even been happening in WW2 & even WW1.

Take Rockefeller US Standard Oil company back in WW2 for example. They sold multiple oil patents to a Nazi company by the name of IG Farben. With out a patented additive The German Luftwaffe would have had no fuel nor would the ground vehicles & panzer's have fuel >>

Note that IG Farben also used certain techniques to mass produce Zyklon B for the gas chambers once again using US Standard Oil patents.

& this was all b4 & during the war >>

My point is that its not a conspiracy but that in modern pragmatic geo politics there is ALWAYS a motive in actions taken by any nations leaders & thos who influence thos leaders.

& about the US habit of starting wars in SE Asia just look up the Pentagon Papers >> Thats your home work assignment for the day Lee

I only expressed my opinion in that this all seems too sudden as if it was artificially escalated I hope you understand that based off of history's evidence I can not in good conscious believe everything corporate news media says

In the end I have my doubts but I cant say anything for certain until more detailed information comes to light & it will be quite some time b4 that happens Maybe in a couple months there will be more info if both sides calm down for a bit.

I hope (south)western Europe will stay out of that shit.


I can agree with that. No one needs to get involved in that shit.
The problem is, as soon as the US join the war, they will declare the war as a defensive warfare. And due to the NATO the european nations have to join the war then too. So as soon as they join the war, Europe has to fight with them.

I don't know much about it yet (as I haven't really looked anything up yet), but it seems like its going on and on in a cycle with these sorts of things. Glad I'm not over there right now though... War is hell.

I completely agree with the latter statement, and so I will prove my point through this criterion.

While the military-industrial complex does benefit, it's a minor part of the conflict. The following is a cost-benefit analysis of past US involvement in non-territorial conflicts:

Philippines: Unstable Spanish territory with pockets of rebellion that poses no net threat to the United States. Meanwhile, the Philippines is situated in the middle of a major trade route and can serve as a strategic military base into the Orient.

WWI and WWII: As the United States is geographically secluded from the conflict, it in no way harms the interest of the United States to profit from a constant stream of weapon and material exports. At the same time, the destabilization of traditional powers in Europe guaranteed the United States a seat in the world scene that eventually gave way to hegemony.

Korea, Vietnam - The potential disestablishment of the pro-capitalistic regime may cause further unanticipated expansion of Communism. However, as neither of these countries directly possess nuclear weaponry, US intervention won't prove to be too costly even if the enemy retaliates. Note that the goal here is to secure the territory as fast as possible and get out. (Same for Afghanistan, Iran, Kuwait, Iraq, and once again, Afghanistan)

We then have to ask the following question:
Is the whole point of the conflict to increase weapon exports for a limited duration or to achieve some ulterior motive that can be accomplished vis-a-vis the conflict itself.

or at an abstract:
Do we evaluate the cost and the benefit of war through its means or through its ends?

This is however an entire debate of its own right, and I won't dabble into that, the criterion at hand simply asks us one simple question:

Does the benefit of initiating a conflict between a hostile nation with nuclear arms capability and one of the largest standing armies in the world supplied by one of the largest military industry with a self-imposed sanction against the rest of the world and a sympathetic economic trade partner to the military-industrial complex outweigh the cost of all of the potential economic/political damages?

To me, the question itself begs the answer.

Not everything in history is repetitive, there's always a rationalization behind every action. In the current atmosphere, it's counterintuitive and irrational for the United States to sponsor the conflict nor benefit from it. (Here, the act of instantiating the conflict)

PS: Media is a double edged sword in politics. I too refer you to the Pentagon papers. In my experiences, news corroborated by several sources are usually credible.
