Barely 3 months into the administration of tyrant Trump, the Donald is rattling all the swords of war against the DPRK.

Whatever happened to the biblical passage Let us beat our swords into plowshares? The U.S. Navy has positioned an “armada,” according to Trump, on the shores of North Korea. Meanwhile, massive US, South Korea military exercises are being conducted on the border between South and North Korea.

Since the 1950s, there has been a declaration of war from the US on North Korea.

Many experts maintain that the launch of 59 tomahawk missiles against Syria and the dropping of the $16 million MOAB on Afghanistan were intended to put the DPRK on notice that the same thing could happen to them.

Meanwhile, people in the USA can perform simple mathematics and realize that in a short period of time tyrant Trump has dropped $75 million worth of bombs on foreign countries. At the same time, tyrant Trump and his congressional allies seek to decimate social programs in the USA to include healthcare, education, women’s health, infrastructure repair and other programs which are of benefit to the people of the US. All of this is in contradiction to Trump’s campaign promises.

People in the USA must recognize that there can be no peace, or progress as long as capitalism dominates the governmental structure.

Working people need socialism in order to progress.

War with the DPRK and/or Syria will only set back the working class while advancing the bourgeoisie.

Working people need to rise up and oppose the tyrannical policies of the new Trump administration and fight for peace.
