Is Trump Luring Kim and Xi into a Death Trap?

October 12, 2019 By Robert Arvay

One of the Machiavellian principles of power, at least inferred, is that dictators must surround themselves with their enemies. This sounds illogical, but it's true. Mafia bosses must surround themselves with a protective layer of brutal, murderous thugs, who will willingly carry out orders to kill potential enemies. Yet how many mafia bosses have been murdered by their own supposed protectors?

A dictatorship is nothing more than an organized crime mob on steroids. The head of state must brutally suppress (read: murder) anyone and everyone who poses even a remote threat to his power. Dictators do not get voted out of office. They get carried out, feet first.

Kim Jong-un, the dictator of North Korea (the title of chairman is a euphemism), is exceedingly paranoid. Paranoia in a dictator is not a disorder; it is a necessary survival mechanism. Kim not only murders anyone and everyone whom he even suspects of disloyalty, but takes nonlethal measures as well. He even takes his own toilet with him wherever he travels, in order to prevent his DNA from falling into the hands of analysts who might deduce his physical infirmities........

Trump is using this fact to maneuver Xi into acceding to American demands regarding trade fairness. This places Xi on the horns of a dilemma............The same applies to Kim, but in spades..........to have Trump immediately reject Kim's request — and leave Hanoi, with Kim standing empty-handed at the altar............they live in terror of him, but not panic.

What other American president (other than, arguably, Ronald Reagan) has ever disabled our enemies so quickly, and without firing a shot? What future president ever will? To Read More.......
