Open Letter to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
Dear Secretary Blinken:
I am writing you concerning North Korean leader Kim Jong Un´s recent accusation of the US and its allies of “further crossing the red line” in sending tanks to Ukraine.
Kim Jong Un is employing an old tired but true strategy:
(1) He who makes the definitions of the situation controls the situation.
(2) He who controls the situation makes the rules of the game.
(3) He who makes the rules of the game has the power and wins the game.
Kim Jong Un, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping frequently resort to that strategy.
In Kim Jong Un´s case, there is way the United States can employ the same strategy to marginalize him.
At the start of the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, President Kennedy in his emergency address declared:
“It shall be the policy of this nation to regard any nuclear missile launched from Cuba against any nation in the Western Hemisphere as an attack on the United States, requiring a full retaliatory response upon the Soviet Union.”
Recommendation: the same policy should be applied to China and its puppet state North Korea.
It shall be the policy of this nation to regard any nuclear missile launched from North Korea against any nation as an attack on the United States, requiring a full retaliatory response upon China.
The Ultimate Responsibility Policy would establish more than one definition of the situation. An economy of moves.
The Policy would be fully understood by China and North Korea. It literally speaks their language.
