File under: Govt of Syria

#1 Why does anyone believe that the Syrians would want to buy technology and raw materials from the NorKs to make bombs? Surely the Syrians would pay much more for one or two warheads, all they really need anyway.

#2 WTF would we expect here with the Norks? They do not honor agreements, they lie and obfuscate. That is their way of doing business. The problem is not the Norks. They are the given in the problem. The real problem is in our State Department, who are either clinically delusional, or they are actively siding with the enemy.

Agreements made with the Norks are made with the result of propping up a corrupt, documented systematic inhumaine regime. We know better but we keep doing it, and giving our hard earned treasure to despots. In the meantime, millions of people are suffering and dying under this regime. This situation is insanity.

#3 Bush's "Axis of Evil" speech pretty much had things pegged.

#4 Radical Islamism's agenda is very closely tied to control and occupation of physical land. IMO it is agz Radical Islamist interests, and in many ways even mainstream Islam, to destroy Israel but not occupy or control the land of Israel. PUNDITS > claim that NORTH KOREA's actions, iff proven true that it is in a nucdev alliance wid Iran and or Syria, indics that NK may be desperate enuff to desire to break free from Beijing's control. IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER BEIJING GAVE ITS APPROVAL FOR THIS ALLEGED ALLIANCE, OR NOT. STRATEGYPAGE > opines that Kimmie and Party is slowly but steadily losing its control in Govt, Army, and over the general population due to never-ending domestic crises. HUTSHELL > KIMMIE MAY NEED NUKES TO FORESTALL A FULL CHICOM TAKEOVER OF NK + REPLACEMENT OF KIM FAMILY DYNASTY???

#5 Joe, NorK nukes are no deterrent to the Chinese. During the Cold War, we used to wonder what the Chinese would say if we killed 300,000,000 of them in a nuclear first strike. The consensus was that the 800,000,000 survivors would say "thank you, we needed the extra space."
