Bazooka Joe Biden goes ballistic... with hypocrisy

With North Korea last week threatening "pre-emptive nuclear strikes"on top of an alleged ICBM test only weeks before, it does seem that the world has indeed entered a new, dangerous arms race.

The only reasonable way forward is for a concerted international program of mutual disarmament. The logistics of a verifiable process of reduction are not beyond the means of practical human feasibility. This call was made 53 years ago by US President John F Kennedy in a landmark speech at the American University in Washington on June 10, 1963.

The main insurmountable problem since then has been official American hypocrisy. The US evidently presumes the right to maintain the world's biggest arsenal, while excoriating other states like North Korea and Iran for allegedly contemplating the development of the same weapons.

Joe Biden speaking in a state this week that continues to illegally occupy Palestinian land in defiance of countless UN resolutions, a state which possesses nuclear weapons outside of any international control, and yet Biden chooses to focus his admonishment on Iran based on spurious complaints -- now that demonstrates that American hypocrisy really has gone ballistic and is not coming back to Earth any time soon.
