NORTH KOREA AND IRAN... THE TOPIC COMES UP AGAIN!

Well, once again the topic of North Korea Iranian cooperation in a nuclear weapons program seems to surface in the media once again.

For anyone that has followed by opinions of actions in the Middle East, it will be more than aware of my suspicions.

Rumors upon rumors continue to unfold over the nuclear weapons test Iva North Koreans actually being conducted for the Iranian government.

The debate over the relationship between Iran and North Korea go on for an indefinite period of time, but it would not impact one simple fact.

That one simple fact is this; a weapon developed designed and assembled and North Korea would have virtually no chance of being shipped to Iran.

If we completely leave out the concept of a Western led intervention to such a shipment, we are still left with absolute reality of the Israelis never allowing such a transfer to take place matter what the cost.

Remember, is the IDF has flown combat missions in Africa to deny far less important weapons traffic movement.

If the Iranians are supporting and North Korean warhead development and even missile redevelopment, it will not leave them a functional weapon being transferred from one country to the other.

Now, it's easy to get lost in the technical guessing game of weapons development and nation state support each other in such development.

What continues to concern me is not the technical side of any possible relationship between North Korea and Iran.

As I stated before, I concern continues to be mutual "plan" that could be implemented by these two nations in support of each other in the time of a crisis!

Without running the risk of repeating myself, again, I would simply state the technical agreement is not really the issue at hand.

Concept of "mutual aid" is always been a complex issue at the international, political level.

An Iranian/North Korean mutual support agreement in time of crisis is a concept that still concerns me greatly.

These two nations continue to exemplify one of the oldest sayings nationstate conflict; "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"!

Rest of the world must avoid a classic case of not being a mother see the forest through the trees when it comes to the issue of technical support a nuclear weapons development between North Korea and Iran.

If these two nations truly have an agreement, the real question revolves around to what level of support this agreement speaks to?

To state that dealing with a North Korean conflict simultaneously with Iranian conflict would be more than challenging for the rest of the world is a dramatic understatement.

No one probably understands this better than the North Koreans and the Iranians.

So, whatever is taking place between Iran and North Korea, must be anticipated and planned for as quickly as possible.

Am I more convinced now that a simultaneous North Korean/Iranian conflict could take place sometime in the near future?

I'm not sure.

What I am sure of, is that two known enemies of the Western world are working together in both are ruled by a rational and highly dangerous leaders!
