Lieberman: How Will The World Stop Iran If It Can't Stop North Korea
Haaretz ^ | November 23, 2010

Posted on 11/23/2010 8:14:52 AM PST by Strategy

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman slammed the world's response to North Korea firing on their southern neighbor on Tuesday, asking how the world will be able to stop Iran if they can't stop North Korea.

North Korea fired hundreds of artillery shells at a South Korean island on Tuesday, in one of the heaviest bombardments on the South since the Korean War ended in 1953. South Korea responded by firing 80 rounds of shells back at the North.

Exactly. North Korea and Iran are "the world".

Dictators get real change from the time of George Bush - Obama gives them a free pass - more than they ever hoped for...

Iraq
Afghanistan

North Korea
Iran

Our economy is shaky
And we owe China about a trillion dollars.

We are like a cartoon character, leaning out over a cliff, waving our arms, trying not to fall off the edge. All it takes is someone who doesn't like us to give a little shove. We have nothing in the way of Will or Reserves. We're tapped out and just barely holding on. If someone wants to bring down America, all they have to do is ... push.

I’ve long wondered why the world’s tinpot dictators and petty megalomaniacs and would-be revolutionaries don’t all coordinate their goals. They can’t pull off their shenanigans on their own because world powers would intervene fast ...but if they all did their stuff on the same day, there would be no coherent opposition.

The will of the United States, under the “leadership” of Barack Obama, is being tested.

Reread the story carefully. Figure out who Lieberman is.

They don't play well with others. That's why they are dicators/megalomaniacs/and would-be revolutionaries in the first place. They aren't the least bit interested in COORDINATION. Coordination implies subjection, in their view. COOPERATION implies weakness.

“Obama is not going to do anything period”

I am sure he feels North Korea has been the victim of the West's persecution for years. In his mind, North Korea is a workers paradise where people have rosy cheeks and smile all time while singing praises to their benevolent god-like leaders.

A good way to bring stability to the world would be to make a deal with the Chinese and the Russian to hold a joint tactical nuclear strike to wipe the North Korean nuclear facilities and most of their military and all of their leadership off the face of the earth and then tell Achmad<>inejad that if he does not dismantle his nuclear program by Friday, the coalition will do it for him in the same manner that they stopped North Korea and then one minute after midnight on Friday, November 26, 2010 put the Iranians out of the nuclear weapons business.
