Well, we know that everyone is dealing with Korea, but who is dealing with “everyone”?...
This is an existentialist issue which applies worldwide at the moment. North Korea is at the center. Kim threatens America and then he tells America that “I am waiting for your threaten”. It’s not a game and we’re not dealing with just a “crazy” person in here. Today he threatens that he will launch a nuclear rocket on Guam–the island where American military bases are situated–the following day he pretends he seeks “diplomatic” solutions through China. The United States have warned that in case of attack, North Korea will suffer “serious consequences”, that “the regime will be overthrown” and that “the country will be lit in flames”…
The declarations issued by the US affect the threatened “partnership” between China and Russia…
Everyone deals with Korea and the risk. Does everyone have the right to deal with this? Of course they do. If the contrary happened in front of a threat of a “terrible” war, then we would wake everyone “everyone” up.
But what is happening with “everyone” while they only deal with the “only” threat, Korea!? Within this sea filled with conflicts, several Koreas are being born, which can pose a threat in many directions. Everyone is pitching in to prevent Korea, but who will prevent the others?
We, who are located in a spot of the Balkans, are also dealing with Korea, but who is dealing with us and the Balkans? It’s been a while now that the political class in Tirana and Belgrade is spreading rumors that “America is no longer dealing with us”. They even spread rumors that “Russia is targeting this region”. By seeing the weakening of the European Union–as an organization that can hardly sustain itself, let alone its “satellites”, here, rumors are being spread that “if you don’t take us, we will go with someone else”… Is there a conflict here? The conflict is present at the moment when the links with the “center” are affected. The Balkans and our country, Albania, in particular, during these three decades post-dictatorship, have aligned ourselves as allies of the USA and Europe. Before a global conflict, our “small” powers always benefit. Arrogance, demagogy, poverty and threat for inner conflict grow.
After this, nothing else is “on top”, meaning, last, like “Korea”.
Among “everyone”, someone is trying to take Korea’s place. Within the United States of America, which lead peace and offer guarantees against the Northern nuclear threat, elements of “war” are being developed. Globalist liberals with organizations funded by George Soros are creating storms of protests around the White House. Within the “House”, schemes are being conceived to weaken the president. The previous administrators of “National Security” and “FBI” have engaged the “proof” mechanism in order to trigger more resignations within President Trump’s staff. Three former presidential candidates from the ranks of the Republicans, from Mc Cain to Marco Rubio, ranked themselves on the side of leftist movements for “the correction of history”. But in fact, “everyone” is realizing that the aim is to mine President Trump.
Can our region cope with a “rewriting” and even worse, a correction of history?
The effects of war between leftists, African-Americans and extreme rightists in the United States of America clash, first of all, on our region, which is “sensitive” to history. Within a few days, starting from Virginia, several monuments of the Civil War have been destroyed there, since the time of Robert E. Lee.
Today, American media is saying that Lincoln’s monument may be displaced as well. “We kept it for as long as it inspired us, what do we need it for now?”, said someone today on American media. A night before last night, four monuments were demolished in Baltimore; in the morning, the place looked empty and the mayor, an African-American, showed off. So far, a person has been killed and twenty have remained wounded in the protests to protect and demolish the monuments…
The chain of sympathy and hate for history spreads very fast, especially in our “hot” country. If we demolish the monument of Knjaz MIlosh in Serbia, can we demolish the monument of Gjergj Kastrioti Skenderbeu in Albania to?!... Can you not see several tendencies of “demolition” even if they come as “infantile” and “idiotic”?
But here they are… Here are the other “hot” countries. If Pakistan and India go back to the old historical problems that they used to have, then no “Virginia” can stop them. Both countries which are hostile to each other due to the proximity, are both nuclear powers.
Where are we going like this in these “hot” fields? These consist of the reality in front of us. Everyone is “hot” and there’s a fear that “everyone” hides or wakes up after “Korea”.
