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!
