The other day I posted about how Iran was using the rest of the world to get what it wants: nukes.
And we so willingly give it to them, albeit little by little.
If you still don’t think it will happen, look at what we did with North Korea.
Recently they said they were willing to “talk” about their nuclear program (with “talk” being a code word for “give us more money so we can stop what we’re doing for a couple of months, take your money and start up all over again.)
You know what all the previous talking has cost us? $2.2 BILLION since 1994.
Now they’ve turned around and said they had weaponized enough plutonium to let them make several nukes.
The world say by quiestly. Hillary Clinton got all exercised but just blathered like an idiot.
The announcement underlined Pyongyang’s impatience over securing one-on-one talks with Washington, as well as the difficulties in dealing with a regime that resorts to threats and provocations to get what it wants.
Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency said North Korea had finished reprocessing 8,000 spent nuclear fuel rods, which experts say would provide enough weapons-grade plutonium for at least one more nuclear bomb.
The claim may not mean much, since North Korea is believed to already have enough weaponized plutonium for half a dozen nuclear weapons. But the timing — a day after Pyongyang warned it would beef up its nuclear arsenal if the U.S. refused to agree on bilateral talks — shows the communist regime is flexing its atomic might to push Washington to act, analysts said.
“North Korea is trying to show off its nuclear might as a way to pressure the United States to agree to the talks,” said Kim Yong-hyun, a North Korea expert at Seoul’s Dongguk University.
Meanwhile, in a few weeks, we will sit down with them, they will promise to play nice if we give them more money and months afterwards, they will rattle their sabers some more, have even more weapons grade plutonium and the cycle will repeat itself.
When all is said and done, we’ll have paid both Iran and North Korea tens of billions of dollars only to permit the can to be kicked down the road to its inevitable destination: 2 wack-job dictators with their fingers on nuke buttons and the western world billions poorer for it.
