Subject citizens still are fed and many still brainwashed to believe that the DPRK wants to attack the US empire and is a threat, to the entire World. Nothing is farther than the truth. The DPRK's launching of missiles has always served, as a warning, to the US empire, not to get any ideas, of reinvading their country, as they did in 1950. The DPRK does not want to be in isolation forever, but it was the US imperial policy, of militarily surrounding the DPRK, that prevented them, from making any moves towards reconciliation.
It is amazing to see that some in this forum forgot, how Trump, himself, knew this to be true. Trump knew it always is about money and trade, as he became to the first and last US President, of the former American Republic, to engage the DPRK and work for peace, in the region. However, with Trump's presidential overthrow in 2021 and reinstituting its bipartisan puppets, in the imperial government; the US empire is back in control and peace, with Russia, China, DPRK, Iran, etc., for that matter, is not business as usual for them.
Those nations were and forever will be strategic competitors, but never enemies, of the American people. If they are guilty of something, they are guilty of resisting the hegemonic rule, of the US empire; the same US empire that overthrew the American Republic; orchestrated Trump's presidential overthrow; and continuously working to nullify, what's left of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It is imperative that American patriots, especially, understand, what is the real agenda currently at play.
The US empire is on its last legs and sadistically believes the only way to save itself; is going to war, with any of those aforementioned countries, by whatever false pretext or half-truths they can get their subject citizens to believe. If their war plans are successful, they only get to have what's left of their regime, which is but a minor victory; but the last American patriots or the domestic insurgents, in their view, would be finally and forever eliminated, from their empire.
