North-Korea and it's relationship to other world are always been problematic. And now the leader of that country have shown, that problems are not over yet. This small country has shown again that they are capable of surprising maneuvers in international area in the very short period, and now the top meeting between the leaders of the North-Korea and the United States have been treated because South-Korea and United States have had military exercise together. This is very well known act from the North-Korea's leader, because of those persons.


They are trying to blackmail other countries by delaying the meetings, and of course, the trust between other nations and the North-Korea is not very good. Even if some contracts can be made, the North-Korean way has been, that they would speak other and do other. That states nuclear program is the very good example of that. North Korean government undersign the treaty, that they would not make nuclear weapons, and after that, they just dug the tunnels to that nuclear plant and continued the project.


The North-Korean way to think that single person doesn't mean anything is the very bad thing, and sometimes I have thought, how many deaths that nuclear program has caused in that country? Or did they actually care about safety instructions, what are given for work with radioactive material? When we are thinking about the complicated relationship with North Korean government and the international community, we must say that is quite complicated. The reason for that is otherwise that state has many very bad human rights problems and loss of food is the big problem in that country, but their leaders live in the middle of outstanding luxury.


Also, political arrests and sending people to prison camps for rest of their life for crimes like looking western television or visiting foreign homepages is quite common. Otherwise, that is independent, what have it's own rights. And this makes the relations with this country very problematic. The western world should show to others, that this kind of way to rule the nation is not tolerable. But otherwise many western leaders would accept silently the occupation of Gaza. And this is also very complicated situation because Palestinians are of course right to want better treatment, but sometimes there is nobody in the Middle-East who is really interested their position.


When we are talking about Palestinian refugee camps those people have kept in there because of political reasons, that some Arab leaders could use them to turn their own people eyes of their authoritative way to rule the countries. And because of that Israel has allowed occupying the Gaza area. That has caused riots suffering and deaths in that area and the major threat in the eyes of the Israeli government is that if they would give independence to Gaza, would that slip to rule under radical Islamist government.


When we are thinking about the situation in the Gaza area, we must know that there is a quite democratic actor in the opponent. Also, the Internet have opened the scenes of that area and the violence between Palestinians and Israel like shooting unarmed protesters in the middle of normal western people live, but then we can think how many people have died in that area before the Internet, and could the shooters, who targeted the fire to protesters continue their careers in some governmental organizations? But then we must know that in many Arab nations Palestinians doesn't have even id-papers, and in officially they are not even existed.


That means that those people could be murdered and nobody ever asked, what happened as example Palestinians, who were rioted against the Syrian army in 1980's. When we are returning to North-Korea, could we even know about the prison camps in that country? Same way we can ask, would the situation in Gaza or Syria kept off the public eye if there would be no Internet? Those are good questions for thinking when we next time look at the situation in Gaza, Syria or North-Korea. Or would they just keep out of TV with comments that there have been disorders in some area, and the army has taken the situation under the control?

President Trump and his congratulations for Putin

Kimmo Huosionmaa

When the president of the United States of America will send the congratulations for the president of Russia after the election, and he acts against the advice of national security, we must say that this person acts always against somebody’s opinion. Presidents would never do right things, what pleases everybody, and if Trump would follow that advice, somebody would say, that this man was under control of his advisory. The reaction of the action to not say congratulations for Putin would be that this would make deeper the conflict between those superpowers.


Actions what Trump has made in the case to transfer embassy of the United States to Jerusalem is of course not pleasant for the international community. But if Trump would follow the line of the international community, the voters in the United States would say that this kind of actions is made for collecting popularity from other states. And when we are talking about the position of Jerusalem, that is same what other states do, if Israel says that their capital is Jerusalem.


The position of the president of the United States is not easy. And the international politics is not the easy field to operate. There are no right decisions for make. When we are looking about the nuclear weapons outbreak would be also the good thing for the persons in the United States military. Nuclear weapons are the good excuse for not to use the force against some other states. This is what makes the situation of the United States so difficult. During the Cold War, it collected many allies for supporting its own nuclear arsenal.


Those allies are needed for military bases for B-52 bombers and airborne refueling aircraft for those planes. This meant that those allies wanted military and political support from the United States. And that is the reason, why the Soviet Union have been supported the communist revolutionaries like Viet Cong and North Vietnamese government. And the loss of Vietnam war was meant that the United States most important military base in the Asian operations area. And undemocratic allies are the very big problem for the United States. That statement itself is quite democratic, but the allies are not even playing that thing. The corruption is good meter how working democracy really is.


But when we are looking the things like corruption, we must say that there are two ways to handle that thing. Another is that corruption would be justified, and the authorities also control their members.The covered democracy is the bigger problem in the world than open dictatorship.  In undemocratic states, corruption is that every grumble of authorities work would be put in garbage cans and then this state would play democracy.


Also, the news, where is mentioned, that authorities work is partial, would be censored by the media houses. The laws of those states are very good, but they are not enforced. And the newspapers and media houses are of course free, but they are all owned by the party, what is in control in that state. If somebody else wants to transmit media broadcasts to that state, those frequencies are always reserved. And there is the big list of problems in that kind of broadcasts.


The banks would not open the bank accounts for those media corporations. Electricity is always cut, and there are many more troubles for those reporters. Their car windows would be broken. Or the persons, who criticized the government would be kicked off their workplaces. This is one way to control the information, what is given by some governments in the world.

What is the problem with the question of Jerusalem?

The result of the confession Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was what people should expect.When we are facing the real political life, and it connects to religion, we might see something, what happened in United Nations, when the President of The United States confesses Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Almost every other states in the world were against that decision, and the result was crushing for that action. So what is the point of the situation of Jerusalem, what was conquered by Israel Troops in 1967, and after that occupied by same government?

One reason for this conflict is the weapons what are dumped to the Middle East, and of course, the salesmen of the weapons wants that their products are the most effective in this operational area. And that is the reason, why Apache and MI-24 helicopters and tactical support planes like F-16 and SU-25 are very much in the television. Even if SU-25 "Frogfoot" seems little old fashion, it is easy to modify with "smart weapons kit" as a modern close support aircraft, and Israel has modified also MI-21 "Fishbeds" to operate with smart bombs, laser-guided missiles like "Maverick" and "Hellfire" and the most modern missiles like AIM-120 AMRAAM" if the weapon hard-points were changed. And there is of course capacity to operate with the Russian missiles. The SU-25 offers a cheap choice for expensive NATO-planes.

The reason why Israel dares to do that occupation is, that its government gets very much military aid from Washington, and this makes those rulers so brave with their actions against Palestine people. But as we might see there are many truths of that area and the occupation of the Palestine areas makes Israeli government very unpopular in that area. And the main role of the Israeli community is the hardcore militarism and one of the most important export articles of the country is military equipment. The reason why Washington gives support for Israel is that this nation is weak, and its capability for making war with the other nations depends on the support what Washington gives to it.

And that is very important because this denies Israel to slip into the hands of Russia. And of course, the reason for friendship between Israel and the USA is very simple. The USA can use Israel as the bridge-station if it wants to make the invasion into Middle-East. Another part of this strategy is wealthy states in the Gulf area, what have weak military forces. Those states must give military bases for the United States Air Force, and even if the tactical aircraft can operate from carriers, the airborne tanker aircraft and heavy cargo planes need the fixed runways.


Those aircraft are the necessary part of giving airborne refueling capacity for strategic bombers and the tanks and other protection and technical support units of that airbase. In this strategy, the airborne refueling aircraft gives operational support also for the United States global nuclear task force, and also those military bases will act as the emergency landing sites for B-1 and B-52 bombers. Also, this strategic set is mentioned for denying Russia take control of all oil production in the Middle East. The problem of that area is that the USA and its allies have the technological advantage, but Russia and its allies control the oil fields. Of course, Russian technology is also good and in the last sentence, I meant technology, what is used by local actors. The Russian military also wants to advantage its global strike capacity, and it's airplanes need same kind of support than the USA:s airplanes. So this guarantees the Russian interest to the Middle East.


The problem is that Russia controls the route of the gas to Europe, and it wants to connect the European energy solution for Russian gas, and that's why the situation in Syria is very suitable for Russian interests. If the Middle East is the unstable area, the Russian oils and gas will become more interesting opportunity for Europe, and of course, if those contracts are cheap enough, the advantage of the Russian political and social environment might be without notice. And I think that European leaders won't want to connect European energy solutions the goodwill of Turkey or some other Islamic states. If Russia takes control of the coastline of Georgia, the gas line from the Middle East to Europe will be under Russian control. And it will give political advantages for Vladimir Putin and Kreml.
