Trump Threatens GENOCIDE at the UN:
When Is Enough ENOUGH?!?

September 20, 2017 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us

 

 

Here is what Donald Trump said in his first speech at the United Nations this week:

“The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.” [Emphasis added]

Think about that. He didn ’t threaten to “defeat” North Korea; he didn ’t even threaten to “take down its regime;” he said he would “totally destroy it.” And note that this threat is not tied to Korean use of nuclear weapons; should the U.S. decide, using whatever self-serving criterion these imperialists use, that “it is forced to defend itself or its allies,” then boom!—total destruction of an entire country and, obviously, the human beings who live in that country.

There is more that could be said about a speech as bellicose as it was full of lies. There is more that could be said about a threat to a country which the U.S. once did almost “totally destroy,” murdering three to five million of its citizens and leveling 90% of its structures above one story—when North Korea itself has never carried out an act of aggression against the U.S. 

But the main thing that must be said is this: Donald Trump threatened genocide at the world’s diplomatic headquarters, and the world moved on. Not even Hitler openly said that he would wipe out world Jewry. What are we going to do in the face of this?
