Scanning the map
Joe Biden, the president of the largest country in the world, or rather the president of the world, threatened to wipe North Korea (about 30 million people) off the map with nuclear weapons, without hearing a single word from his "civilized" allies in Europe and "uncivilized" in the rest of the world, criticizing him. on this barbaric statement, or to demand that he withdraw it, apologize for it, or repudiate it. As it is well known, America does not joke about such an issue, as it had already done so in its neighbor Korea before dividing it into two Koreas, when it struck two Japanese cities with atomic bombs and exterminated their inhabitants, animals and plants.
The threat of wiping it off the map or off the map, we have been hearing it in recent years in more than one place in this world (the map), whether with nuclear power or otherwise. A few days ago, we heard a Russian official threatening to wipe Ukraine off the map (Europe) if it joined NATO, and it is the one that Its population is nearly fifty million, and over the course of the Islamic revolution in Iran nearly five decades ago, we hear threats to Israel to wipe it off the map, noting that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons, and its jurist ruler Khamenei has stated that the use of such weapons is forbidden by Sharia. Israel, in turn, possesses this weapon only three years after its establishment. It practically denies the existence of the Palestinian people, and is a prelude to its annihilation and wiping it off the map. This was repeated recently by one of its ministers (Bezalel Smotrich) from a Parisian platform, that the Palestinian people are just an illusion. It was invented in the land of Israel in the last hundred years. In the midst of this statement, the town of Hawara was burned. The strange thing is that his "Christian" words were met with applause several times.
After nearly thirty years of America’s monopoly in controlling the world, its capabilities, wealth, money, people, markets, and even its geography, as happened with Trump, who granted Jerusalem and with it the Golan Heights to Israel, and the economic sanctions imposed on what equals half the world, it is obvious that we begin to hear brutal, fascist, terrifying terms. of this kind; Scanning the map. There are countries that contribute to wiping themselves off the map, as a result of underdevelopment, as with Afghanistan, which closes schools and abolishes any presence of women outside the home, or as a result of self-warfare in the ranks of the military, as is happening today in Sudan, or direct conspiracy, as with ancient Lebanon, which is mired in its daily living crises. He cannot elect a president even though a year has passed since his parliamentary elections. Or even Palestine, which has two governments and is still occupied.
