![]() ![]() Don’t forget our cyber warfare abilities that would undoubtedly be implemented as well. This writer seems to always hype Russia’s capabilities and denigrate the US’s capabilities. Sure, Russia has the capacity to nuke the US into smithereens, and vice versa. But if its a head to head shooting war, the US and NATO would dominate. Massive missile/bombing campaign (including carpet) of top leadership locations, tactical missile locations and DMZ artillery belt.įACT.Ĭommander’s intent: Decapitate the top leadership and remove retaliatory capability. Destruction of surface fleet and air force.Īdvance into DMZ artillery belt up to a range of 240 mm cannon. Phase three: “break the enemy’s will to fight” and destroy the “regime support infrastructure” Not further (local tactical considerations taken into account of course). I guess an American attack on North Korea would consist of preemptive strategic nuking to destroy the entire country before it can do anything. First foremost, simple, very simple one-sentence “arguments”.These examples perfectly illustrate the kind of mindset induced by what Professor John Marciano called “Empire as a way of life” which is characterized by a set of basic characteristics: Since North Korea itself contributes essentially nothing to the world economy, no one would lose money. Gone are the days when argument were built in some logical sequence when facts were established, then evaluated for their accuracy and relevance, then analyzed and then conclusions presented. Where in the past one argument per page or paragraph constituted the norm, we now have tweet-like 140 character statements which are more akin to shouted slogans than to arguments (no wonder that tweeting is something a bird does – hence the expression “bird brain”). You will will see that kind of person writing what initially appears to be a paragraph, but when you look closer you realize that the paragraph is really little more than a sequence of independent statements and not really an argument of any type. A quasi-religious belief in one’s superiority which is accepted as axiomatic.Nothing new here: the Communists considered themselves as the superior for class reasons, the Nazis by reason of racial superiority, the US Americans just “because” – no explanation offered (I am not sure that this constitutes of form of progress). In the US case, that superiority is cultural, political, financial and, sometimes but not always, racial. ![]() This superiority is also technological, hence the “ there has to be” or the “ would undoubtedly” in the example #1 above. This is pure faith and not something which can be challenged by fact or logic. Example 3 basically declares all of North Korea (including its people) as worthless. This is where all the expressions like “sand niggers” “hadjis” and other “gooks” come from: the dehumanization of the “others” as a preparation for their for mass slaughter. Notice how in the example #2 the DPRK leaders are assumed to be totally impotent, dull and, above all, passive. ![]()
