Sometimes I see a headline that just stops me in my tracks. This morning, I saw this headline: “O’Reilly: Like Iran, ‘the reason North Korea is causing trouble is that it wants to influence the November Election’“!
What?! Huh?!
In my world travels I have learned this: from the perspective of those outside the United States, our two parties are not substantially different. What we call ‘conservative’ or ‘liberal’ is all right wing conservative in other countries. We’re quibbling about what shade of turquoise it is, really.
So, it stands to reason from that perspective, then, that they could care less who the hell the US President is; it’s all the same to them. We’re still a bunch of pushy, arrogant, self-righteous, Christian-bible-thumping, science-fearing idiots looking for an excuse to go to war and take your oil.
How self-centered must you be to actually think that the rest of the world, or anybody in the world outside the US, is following our political elections that closely; or better yet, actively seeking to influence them for personal gain? How seriously have your critical thinking skills lapsed to conclude that a complete replacement of Republicans with Democrats, as unlikely as that is, will somehow benefit North Korea in a meaningful way? Hello?!
Even if the US went totally soft on North Korea, it has little bearing on how the UN will handle it; or, moreover, how China will or Russia will. We are but one country.

It’s his American arrogance showing again. The very same arrogance that makes other countries hate Americans. Nevermind that he sees everything through the filter of his own political agenda.
