The Cusp of Anarchy

North Korea announced that if the United States continued it's operations in the area they are going to launch nukes on the White House and the Pentagon. President Putin has provided resources to help pro-Russians in their Civil War in Ukraine. The Israeli's and Palestinians escalated their Civil War to ground troops invading the Gaza Strip. And the United States struggles to keep her boarders secure while floating the notion of impeaching the President.

Since World War II the United States has been on the aggressive to contain the expansion of Communism. Trouble the aggression created is developing an entitlement mentality of other world wannabe powers and the loss of diplomacy. Once the Berlin Wall feel and it was clear the United States was the Last Super Power emboldened other wannabe powers to attempt to exert their beliefs. Many were upset when Sen. Obama mentioned that he would sit down with other world dictators - friends and foes - after being elected President.

We now face the Dark Ages of Diplomacy. American society is not interested in electing a President or any Washington D.C official based on their vision of America or the ability to bring diplomacy to the position. Rather American society has allowed the Two-party system to lead us down this road. To help pave the road, the media plays the role of puppet and marionette to the ideological play written by the Two-party puppet masters.

When a one or a group of people attempt to bring enlightenment to the Dark Ages, they are demonized by one side and Co-op by the other. Tea Party for the Right and Occupiers for the Left. To ensure that no new group gains a foothold the media aids in fanning the flames of demonization. Unfortunately, far to many in American society will drink in the kool aid of which ever side they feel connected with as the unabated truth about the other side without actually investigating it themselves.

The United States was founded on the belief that "all men were created equal". Granted not all laws applied equally from the onset but the United States has made great strides in including more people in forming the future of the freest nation in the World. While no government is perfect, nor will one ever be, but American society has the luxury knowing that one holds the keys to their future not afforded the vast majority of the rest of the World.

Evidence of the luxury of American society is the emboldened illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants are here in the United States protesting for "Rights", using taxpayer dollars, obtaining driver licenses, and taking advantage of a liberal welfare system. Now, a rush of children are pounding our Southern border in reaction to an executive order issued by President Obama that gave hope to these illegal immigrants of Amnesty.

While we are a Nation of Immigrants, there becomes a time when a Nations identity shifts to the Nation itself. For decades the United States used quotas to stem the tide of immigrants to the shores. Unfortunately, after the spread of Communism became a real threat following World War II the quota system started to erode and refugee status became the new system. The refugee system is fueling the entitlement mentality of the World.

The United States refugee system has allowed these groups to transplant without laying the expectation beforehand of assimilation. The Germans, Irish, Dutch, Swedes, Fins, etc..all understood the concept of assimilation. The result of not laying out this expectation beforehand will be Anarchy inside of the United States. Once that Anarchy comes to a head, that will be the time American society true enemies will come. When they come, we will be to focused on the infighting created by the Two-party system and promoted by the media.

America society is only a few months away from going back to the polls to vote for mid-term elections. Take time to inventory those candidates on the ballot, take time to inventory your role in allowing the Dark Ages to continue, take time to inventory your responsibility to assimilation. Then make sure you pull the lever for the candidate that will ensure a Nation that continues the luxury.

China continues to defend North Korea

China, South Korea and Japan just wrapped up a two-day summit to which they discussed North Korea and the sinking of South Korean ship called Cheonan. The hope of South Korean President Lee Myung-bak and Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama that Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao would approve more sanctions on North Korea but that did not happen. Prime Minister Jiabao did say, "Most urgent is to dispel the impact of the Cheonan incident, gradually ease tension and especially avoid a clash." North Korean leader Kim Jong Il strongly believes that the sinking of the Cheonan was the collaboration of South Korea and United State governments to pressure China into imposing further sanctions on North Korea. Why does China continue to safeguard Kim Jong Il?

In 2008 trade between China and North Korea totaled $2.79 billion which was up 41.3 percent from 2007. CFR Senior Fellow Adam Segal stated, "The idea that the Chinese would turn their backs on the North Koreans is clearly wrong" (http://www.cfr.org/publication/11097/chinanorth_korea_relationship.html). To which Selig S. Harrison, Asia program director at the Center for International Policy, stated, the Chinese are "doing just what they have to do and no more" in terms of punishing North Korea (http://www.cfr.org/publication/11097/chinanorth_korea_relationship.html). Even though Pyongyang is heavily dependent on exports of food and energy from China many feel that North Korea understands that serves a greater good for China because they provide a buffer zone. The buffer zone North Korea provides is between China's northeastern border and the democratically led South Korea. By not having to deploy troops to their northeastern boarder, China can focus their military might to dealing with Taiwan's quest for independence.

Combining the economic and buffer zone one can understand why China allows North Korea's antics of nuclear missile testing and defiance of responsibility of the sinking of Cheonan. Kim Jong Il understands that North Korea does aide China thus does not fear sanctions. As Harrison pointed out, see above, China will only do so much as they are heavily invested in the relationship with North Korea. For countries, like the United States, to attempt to impose sanctions or influence onto China to reign in North Korea is no more right than China demanding that the United States allow amnesty for all Mexican illegal immigrants that live within the United States. Do we need to be aware of what is taking place in North Korea? Yes. An unstable Korean peninsula does nothing but create trouble for the Western world. That being said, the Western World has little ground to stand on by demanding that China impose further sanctions on North Korea that puts their $2.79 billion trade in jeopardy.
