North Korea and Iran Know EXACTLY What They Are Doing
Americans, Europeans, Asians, Rusians, Africans... deal with it.
Not even the USA can do anything about North Korea and for that matter Iran. Just think about it for a minute. How exactly do you propose that we or any other nation do anything?
Talking won't work because these countries use talking to allow them more time and to give themsevles more of a bargaining chip (ransom) later on. Why would North Korea stop its nuclear plan? Sanctions? Those sanctions will be lifted just as soon as they say, "Sure, we will talk now." Of course, they will be a full blown nuclear state by then and have their leveraging power (including selling their weapons to anyone as a threat to the USa and anybody else).
And of course Iran, who is watching this, clearly sees it can do the same thing right now. Remember all the deals it wanted to put forth (like the one to the French)? They are not talking about THAT anymore.
SO, who's going to stop this? Why would North Korea stop? The only thing that might stop Iran in its tracks is Isreal who will bomb them as soon as they think Iran is about to have a weapon. But fof course, that would definailty start WWIII, so that would be a big responcibility.
So, what is stopping North Korea from doing what it wants? China is putting itself in a helpless situation (either be constantly threatened by North Korea or deal with millions of poor people crossing the border after the collapse of the regime).
Can anyone tell me why North Korea will stop? Why Iran will stop?
