The Russians are selling the North Koreans the ability to destroy any American city they want. The North Koreans are then turning around and selling this technology to the highest bidder, including Iran. The Russians are helping Iran develop a nuclear weapons program. Why is it whenever a totalitarian state needs the ability to defend the status quo, Russia is always there for them?

Why is it whenever a totalitarian state needs the ability to defend the status quo, Russia is always there for them?

Because Russia has almost always been morally bankrupt, underhanded and miserable.It was the biggest con in this century that the USSR was defeated.

Do NOT discount China's complicity here.

The sad thing is that our elcted officials seem to want to play ostrich and ignore these advances. Ignore them enough and they may go away. The crazy thing is, they knew this well before it became an issue with the public, and did nothing. Unclassified CIA reports from the 1990s reference the threat of proliferation and the dangers it posed if the countries became nuclear powers. Now its about to happen and we ignore it.

Anything North Korea gets will automatically be transferred to Iran and Pakistan, as well as others. In the long run, American soil will be under constant threat from a number of countries. Its about 4500 miles or so from Iran to Washington.

Now we have a two coast threat looming in our very near future that will direct effect national survival. Its time we challenge both parties to fix the problem, or we replace them with people who will. I am sick of imperial politicians who risk the ruin of our country for political gain while we slowly come under a very serious nuclear umbrella based in very hostile nations we once thought couldnt do this.

Russia is there for them because:

1) They make money to prop up their lousy goverment.

2) They make money by facilitating other countries to be a threat with us.

Answer in one word: money
