Trump puts the Korean horse ahead of the Iranian cart
2018-06-01
[IsraelNationalNews] The pundits don’t stop yammering and carping on every step President Trump takes to solve the greatest threats the world has ever seen: The joint North Korean/Iranian development of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles systems to deliver them.

But, despite 24 years of what any objective observer would see as the abject systemic failure of 3 different US administrations to solve the Korean/Iranian nuclear file, the media does nothing but act like 24 years of failures have been successful. Their experts appear to fatuously opine Trump should continue with the same appeasement idiocy three different US administrations have applied to the Iran/North Nuclear nuclear problem.

Instead, Trump has hewed to a 2-step common sense approach. First, divide and conquer. Second, isolate the real nuclear emergency priority: North Korea. In effect, Trump is ingeniously putting the North Korean nuclear "horse" in front of the Iranian nuclear "cart," and thus Trump stands to use common sense to successfully solve both the North Korea and Iranian nuclear problems.

Why is the North Korean nuclear file the "horse," and not the "cart"? North Korea is the "horse" or the first to be focused on because North Korea actually already has the nuclear bomb, and Iran relies on North Korea’s technical nuclear expertise to develop its own. So, if President Trump can turn North Korea, he has at best, paralyzed, and at worst, dramatically slowed Iran’s progress and pathway to an actual functional nuclear weapon.

#4  All Iran and North Korea have to do is wait for the Brennans and Muellers and (apparently) Sessions and Gowdys and Ryans and whatnot to falsely convict him of Collusion OMG! so they can get the US back on course to committing suicide by Mandarin Caste.

#3  Both Pudgy and the Mad Mullahs have consistently applied techniques that heretofore worked very well indeed, a mark of sanity. It will take serious pain for them — and their supporters and enablers —to accept that circumstances have changed.

#2  Pudgy might be evil but at least he's sane. You can't say that for the Mad Mullahs. They don't call 'em mad for nothing.
