The Kim and Nikki Credibility Considerations

In an article written by Alex Nitzberg and published in the online magazine Townhall on April 27, 2018, it was reported that, “UN Ambassador Nikki Haley Decries Use of 'Human Shields' in the Middle East.” In fact, this was the headline under which the article appeared.

On the next day, April 28, 2018, the Bret Stephens regular column appeared in the New York Times under the title: “Kim Jong-un Sells a Peace Bridge”.

Knowing what you know about world affairs, and reading the two pieces; which of the two characters would you trust more: Nikki Haley or Kim Jong-un?

Bret Stephens makes it clear that he does not trust Kim Jong-un. The writer begins the column by telling a story that goes back in time almost a quarter century. It can be encapsulated in this saying: Like grandfather like father like son. That is, all three Kims promised to cease their nuclear activities; the first two reneged on the promise, and the third will most likely do the same, according to Stephens. Well, I don't know if the writer speaks French, but maybe something in the back of his head rang the saying: Jamais deux sans trois. Whatever the case, Stephens expanded on his opinion, and what follows is a condensed version of that:

“Part of this is quite natural: War is a catastrophic option and China is never going to force Pyongyang to denuclearize. Other alternatives? I asked Mike Pompeo to suggest some. He replied, 'the most important thing we can do is separate capacity, and someone who might have intent, and break those two apart.' It was a call for regime change, and Pompeo promised to provide options to do that … The fact that all options turned out to be bad does not make negotiations the least bad. Sanctions relief and economic concessions help keep the regime in power and in business”.

It is clear that the thinking in America is regime change for North Korea … by force if possible or by sanctions if necessary. So, let me ask you this question, my friend: If you were a Kim in charge of North Korea, what would you do? Well, as Ronald Reagan would say, you seek peace through strength. And that's what the three Kims have done. They dodged the sanctions as best they could while strengthening their hand as much as possible. And now that the grandson has developed the strength, he sued for peace. That's what you can accomplish when you combine brilliance and professionalism.

When those of us who are of a certain age think of what happened during the last quarter century, we cannot help but go back in time to the 1950s when America was so fearful of a communist invasion, Hollywood expressed that fear by making movies about aliens from outer space invading Earth. Despite their advanced state, however, the aliens were beaten by the more cunning earthlings. Well, imagine the kind of movies Hollywood will be tempted to make a decade or two from now about a Kim Trinity that outsmarted the pompous and the Pompeos America threw at them.

As to the Alex Nitzberg article, the writer says that Nikki Hailey accused ISIS, Hezbollah, the Houthi militants and Hamas of engaging in the practice of using human shields to advance their war aims. Nitzberg says that Haley called such behavior heinous, craven, barbarian and cowardly even for a terrorist.

The trouble is that Nikki Haley provided not a shred of evidence confirming the accusations she leveled against these organizations. Moreover, she cynically hid the fact that the evidence is overwhelming to the effect that the Jews of Israel not only live to hide behind their children, they monetize the practice, which –– you must agree –– is heinous, craven, barbarian and cowardly even for a Jew.

As to the evidence? The Jews themselves bragged about building kibbutzes on the front lines … war zones they filled and continue to fill with children – even foreign children. How did the Israeli Jews brag? They stuck gas masks on the faces of the children and paraded them in front of the international media they invited to witness their craven displays. And they scored the propaganda points they craved, and then sent out armies of volunteers to solicit and collect donations.

This being the reality of the current situation, what is Nikki Haley trying to accomplish? The answer is simple; she is paving the way to blame the victims of Israel's next aggression on the victims themselves.

You see, my friend, the Old Testament is full of examples about heinous, craven, barbarian and cowardly Jews killing babies to inflict maximum pain on their parents. From the murder of babies in Egypt to keep the parents busy while they looted the country and ran into the desert, to the killing of babies in Palestine aiming to murder Jesus before his time, the Jews fashioned a culture that is as ghoulish as it is depraved.

And they did not stop here. They carried the horrific culture with them everywhere they went through space and time. They kept it to this day, changing nothing about it except for ending the habit of bragging about what they do, and replacing it with the habit of blaming someone else for what they do.

Of the seven and a half billion people alive today, all except a handful of them in America, Israel and a few other places, would agree that Nikki Haley –– wearing the Star of David on her forehead and projecting America's image to the world –– is only good enough to sweep the floor at the Kim Jong-un residence.

Do you like that image of yourself, America?
