"We don't want another North Korea": The tee-up no one dared swing at
RT Overtime: Dan Crenshaw: "Every President believes Iran should not have a nuclear bomb. We don't want another North Korea."
This mentality is what drives the long list of American quagmires and paranoia.
Yes, North Korea has nukes. Moving the THAAD missile defense systems from S Korea to the Iran theater is the "So what" reality. Nuclear weapons are powerful for using as a deterrent. Everyone knows this but here we are saying any cost is fine to keep Iran from getting them.
Trump has now moved to the "Iran will obliterate all of the US if it gets the bomb" narrative. No surprise. WMDs all over again. He gets no push back because the US is simultaneously "the most powerful country on earth" and the most vulnerable somehow. This argument _always_ wins to drive more and more military <everything>, like Stars Wars 2 - Return of the The Golden Dome.
