“Something our brilliant “leaders” and totally “clueless-about-nearly-everything” media have forgotten. They all seem to act like every day is the first day of history, like their stuck in a loop as in the ‘Ground Hog Day’ movie.”
The article points out that North Korea’s scientists and engineers have stopped making the same mistakes over and over.
Our government has not even begun to learn that.
You have to distinguish between what you mean by “our government” and the core of professional USG Intel collectors & analysts (and “contractor analysts “) that have worked on this for years. The “professionals” have known where this has been headed for a very long time. Most in “our government (which I mean to be the “elected & appointed” policy makers - including many GOP!)” prefer the message to be “something else” and want the decision to be made on someone else’s watch. The “media” just repeats the “I-want-to-teach-the-world-to-sing” & “we-are-the-world” mantra and pursues the next “shiny object”.
Again we are governed by the stupid, clueless & not serious!
Also the media is just another form of “Entertainment” anyone who thinks they are there to inform is sadly mistaken!
