Trump's real agenda in North Korea case
US President Donald Trump on Monday visited South Korea – America’s second biggest ally in the Far East and a country at the front of a nuclear crisis with North Korea. And it was widely expected from him to repeat his threats against Pyongyang that it would have to pay a heavy price if it ever tries to test America’s determination to defend itself and its allies. Trump also in his speech went as far as painting a black picture of life in North Korea. What many believe included exaggerations designed carefully for certain objectives. The US president also said America had signed billions of dollars worth of deals to sell arms to South Korea. A move that he says makes sense in face of threats coming from Pyongyang. When juxtaposed with a similar announcement in Japan, many may wonder whether North Korea is the boogieman the Americans needed so bad to justify arms sales to its petrified allies.
Saudi anti-Iran rhetoric distraction to cover losses
The Saudi war machine remains entangled in the war in Yemen, and the Saudi politics replete with rhetoric and endless miscalculations. Crown prince Mohammed bin Salman who’s practically the de facto ruler of the oil rich Kingdome seems to have taken his country into uncharted territory. The young prince’s decisions over the past three years have been blamed for many of the problems that today the whole monarchy has to deal with. Perhaps the most serious of those decisions was the invasion of Yemen which began soon after bin Salman was catapulted into the post of defense minister in 2015. The prince and his military strategists had predicted a quick victory, perhaps in a matter of weeks. But the war is still raging and none of the goals set by the Saudis have been fulfilled.
