USA x NORTH KOREA

The shame of an empire.

When a small and poor country defies a powerful giant empire that is heroic, worthy of an epic poem. Remember, for example, Trojan defending themselves from attack by many Greeks armies who confederated under the command of Agamemnon.

When a giant and powerful country (or a confederation of countries) threatens a small poor country that is a shame.

The Iliad, my friends, has not recorded the glory of the Greeks, but the shameful victory they had over Troy using a dishonorable trick. Troy is incidentally "Ilion" in Greek. So Homer's poem celebrates the glorious resistance of the city to the barbarians who called themselves civilized.

If you believe there is honor in what the USA is doing against North Korea, study a little and talk less nonsense on the internet. Please.
