Otherwise, there would be arms race in E. Asia. Both S. Korea and Japan will move to acquire strategic weapons such as nuke and long-range(or medium range) missiles.
That would be bad for both U.S. arms control sector and China's PLA. However, the way they are ignoring, waffling, and condoning(in case of China,) things will go out of control soon. Either they take out surgically upper leadership of NK regime now, or serious strategic domino's would be falling.
Times like this I wish John Bolton had a job at the U.N. and Cheney was at the White House. By now Iran would have been bunkerbusted to death and North Korea would have had some mysterious “accidents”.
With Obama in charge nothing will happen. Let this be another notice to Bi-bi in Israel...get it done because come July or August Iran will be ready to roll.
Let’s give Hillary Clinton a round of applause everybody. She flew so many miles! Ugh...what a job she had! Let’s look at the winning record from her:
Benghazi, Arab Spring failure, Egypt, Sudan, Syria, Iran getting nukes, North Korea nukes, Afghanistan is almost back in the full time terror business, Venezuela is allowing Russians and Cubans and Iran to use bases there.
WRITING IS ON THE WALL!!!
