Iran will soon have ICBMs armed with nukes by way of North Korea. Team Trump must act now
By Harry J. Kazianis Published July 22, 2017 Fox News
Here’s a prediction by yours truly that you can take to the bank: In just a few years Iran will have intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs, that can attack targets all over the Middle East, Europe and the United States.
And it might all be thanks to the rogue state the Trump administration has labelled the biggest national security threat of our time: North Korea.
Oh, and to twist the knife in a little deeper, those missiles could be armed with nuclear weapons—once the Iran deal expires. That is, unless America puts a stop to this threat once and for all.
Now wait a second. You’re shocked? You really shouldn’t be.
Before we get to all that, maybe we should take a step back for a moment.
You see, making such predictions isn’t always popular, but they spur action. Foreign policy analysts here in Washington love to hedge their bets with words like “possibly”, “perhaps”, “likely” and so on when trying to predict the next big threat. However, there is always certain trends that are easy to see—and even easier to run away from because they aren’t super solvable.
The American people didn’t vote for such dithering last cycle. To be frank, they voted for the opposite of Barack Obama.
When it comes to matters abroad voters wanted an America that would seek out the challenges of the future and take them on before they were aimed at our collective heads.

P!
“Third, we should get creative in how we try to stamp out such cooperation. In a 2012 report by the National Bureau of Asian Research, author John S. Park offers the idea of using a “a monetary reward program to interdict components or technicians central to ballistic missile development.”
By all means, let us bring back Letters of Marque.

When they hit New York city everyone can thank Obama and his court jesters .
It will be Bush’s fault in the eyes of the seriously demented 0/H and bernie worshipers.
The surviving media will go into hyperdrive to sell the idea.

Informed people have known all this since the agreement was in negotiations.
“Team Trump must act now”
Team Trump knows the situation, Harry. As with any administration, harsh criticism will fly no matter what is done or not done in a situation like this. It’s meaningless since no one can analyze the almost infinite twists, turns, potential and knock-on effects of each action or inaction before or after the festivities, whatever they may be.
Everyone but the administration is lucky, all we have to do is sit back and claim our plan would have worked better. We can’t be proven wrong either.
Trump has to actually listen to advice and options, make decisions and take responsibility, even if those advising him are wrong and/or blunder in the execution of the mission as well.
This is all proceeding according to the Soros/Jarrett/Obama plan to cancel out Israel’s nuclear superiority, and eventually destroy her.
I thought NK was getting nukes via Iran.
