U.S. Strong-arm Policy Bound to Go Bankrupt: KCNA Commentary

Pyongyang, September 6 (KCNA) -- The present U.S. administration's ego-driven foreign policies are going belly-up one after another. As regards TTIP a German vice chancellor asserted on Aug. 28 that as Europe could not cave in to the demand of the U.S., negotiations actually broke down. This was little short of a declaration of resistance against the U.S. strong-arm policies and a herald of their bankruptcy. TTIP negotiations were the ones for U.S.-EU FTA pushed forward by the Obama administration to make it the best "goal" of its foreign policy since it started three years ago, being billed as the "building of the world's biggest free trade zone." But even allies in EU turned their back on the three-year-lingering negotiations with the U.S. as they disliked its self-assertive approach to the negotiations and ego-driven pursuit of its interests. The deceptive Middle East policy of Obama, who committed himself to "withdrawing GIs from Iraq" and "getting reconciled with Islam," not like his predecessors, caused the turmoil of "Arab Spring" and reduced the whole Middle East region into a mayhem hit by an evil cycle of terror and reprisal. As a result, the U.S. was branded as the world's worst human rights abuser wholly to blame for causing the worst refugee crisis. Other foreign policies advocated by Obama including the one for "building a world without nuclear weapons" faced real flops one after another for their unfeasibility and deceptive nature. Such disgrace being suffered by the U.S. in the eyes of the world public is by no means accidental. Collin Murphy, former editor-in-chief of a U.S. magazine, wrote in a book that the situation of the U.S. dates back to the Roman Empire on the verge of ruin, adding the U.S. and the Roman Empire all faced a series of crisis due to their exceeding influence over other countries beyond their boundaries. Robert Mary, a reporter of Wall Street Journal, asserted that the U.S. made a mistake by planting its flag on the core part of other nation's civilization without any reasonable pretext for igniting a war in the 21st century, adding conceptions like expansion of freedom and transplanting of democracy are no more than an item on the list of hopes. With the passage of the time the world will clearly witness the final ruin of the U.S. along with the bankruptcy of its notorious hostile policy toward the DPRK. -0-
