UK KFA on the RUSI report on war with the DPRK

The Royal United Services Institute(RUSI) of the UK held a conference on 'Preparing for War with north Korea ' and also released a report written by someone called Malcolm Chalmers about the prospects of war with the DPRK .
RUSI is an establishment body linked to the British military and British intelligence
Really RUSI do not tell us anything that we do not know ie that a war on the Korean peninsula is a strong possibly . You do not need a multi-million pound think tank to tell you where Trump's warmongering can led .
What the RUSI report shows is that the British state has the intention of participating in an anti-DPRK war just as it did in the 1950s when thousands of young British men were scarified on the altar of the 'Anglo-American alliance' and 'special relationship'..
Surprisingly there is a reservation expressed in the RUSI report namely the UK should not support a US surprise attack on the DPRK initiated by Trump .Now whether this shows intelligent thinking by the British establishment , that they are secretly aware that Trump is a lunatic , is a a question .
Of course in reality it is the US that is stoking a potential conflict in the far east and this has worsened under Trump. The US keeps 34,000 US troops in south Korea plus the CIA and so-called 'civilian contractors' and then there are US troops in Okinawa and Japan and elsewhere in the Pacific. Surely their very presence is both aggression and provocation against People's Korea .
Any DPRK missile tests and nuke tests are purely self-defensive , they are a response to the US nuclear threat and the increased sanctions. As to Guam , this is not the territory of the US but an occupied colony which the US has no right to . So basically despite a few throwaway reservations British imperialism is supporting US imperialism's warmongering against People's Korea and probably would support a US war against People's Korea like it did in the 1950s.
UK KFA believes that there is a way out , Firstly , Britain should be independent of the US and should disengage from it , no British military should to sent to Korea under any circumstances. Secondly , the US should end its hostile policy towards the DPRK , end the sanctions and withdraw its troops from south Korea,. This is the way to a lasting peace !
