N Korea strapped for cash, corrupt Pakistani, they hid OBL for christs sake, and thanks to Obama, Iran will become a nuclear player sooner than expected.

China has N. Korea on a short leash. There are multiple other ways N. Korea could raise cash without resorting to that and having China put in the position of using them as a proxy. And harboring a fugitive is on a totally different scale than actually giving a terrorist group a nuclear weapon. Hell, for the sake of the unstable and corrupt entity in Pakistan, how would they not be assured that the nuke wouldn't be used back on them? Highly unlikely. Iran is more focused on nuclear power and getting its oil refining infrastructure up to the point where they can be "a" (if not "the") lowest cost oil producer in the world and on par with the Saudis. A nuclear weapons program for Iran is not their highest priority right now.

NATO’s Turn to Attack | Foreign Policy

"The Islamic State is an apocalyptic organization overdue for eradication. It has beheaded and raped citizens from around the world; has killed civilians in spectacular and horrific ways; has enslaved young women and girls and sold them in open markets; and appears to have brought down a commercial aircraft full of tourists. Now it has killed Westerners execution-style in a city theater. There is a time for soft power and playing the long game in the Middle East, but there is also a time for the ruthless application of hard power. It is NATO’s responsibility to recognize our current moment qualifies as the latter."

If I ran's got all that ****ing oil what do they need with nuclear power? I call BS, they're the biggest player in the Middle East of state sponsored terrorism . We'll just have to disagree on this one.

This guy is a little hard to keep up with and he is on the opposite end from most on this forum. Not saying I agree with everything he says, because he's extreme, but he does make some sense imo. I'm sure I'll get bashed in the process, but just wanna know y'alls thoughts on HIS thoughts...?

You're seriously trying to say no way to North Korea's willingness to sell a Nuke?

They don't have the refining capability or the electrical infrastructure. Nuclear power is cheap and they don't have to burn any of their "seed corn" (domestic oil) to get it accomplished.

That is what that entire nuclear deal was all about. If Iran is able to refine it's own oil, it would be one of if not the cheapest producers of oil and they have about as much oil reserves as the Saudis.

In other words, the Iranians could drive the price of oil.

I gotta give you credit for one thing, you called that NATO Article 5 shot last night. Looks like it has some legs...

Unbelievable.

Not sure why it is unbelievable? It was invoked after 9/11. This is the deadliest attack on France since the 2nd World War. Before this is over it could easily eclipse the Madrid bombings as the deadliest European terror attack.
