US General 'Flexes' Air Power, Ignores Decades of Unresolved Conflict
Newsweek recently glorified a video showing a US general brandishing air power against North Korea, framing it as a necessary deterrent ( Newsweek ). What they didn't mention? The Korean War never officially ended, only an armistice was signed in 1953. For nearly 70 years, the US has maintained a significant military presence, conducted 'drills,' and imposed sanctions, yet somehow, North Korea
keeps building nukes. One might wonder if this repeated 'flexing' is more about justifying a massive military budget than actually achieving peace. Instead of endless posturing, one might expect questions about failed diplomatic efforts or the impact of decades of economic strangulation on a population. But no, it's just 'general flexes, must be good.' How many times does the Pentagon need to show
off expensive war toys before someone in the press asks: Is this actually working? Or is it just a perpetual motion machine for the military-industrial complex?
