^^ The land of Israel has been facing down a rogue regime in Iran, which has had nuclear aspirations now for decades. I can recall several occasions over time in which Israel mounted assaults against Iran, destroying their nuclear facilities. The result has been such that the Iranian nuclear effort was set back decades, as to this day Iran has still not attained nuclear status.

Of course the American left howled like mortally wounded werewolves every time Israel was, out of self preservation, forced to act on it's own to surgically attack the Iranian nuclear program. I love the Jewish people. Leaving liberal ridiculousness to those who are ridiculous, they move to protect themselves even as the rest of the world chides them to capitulate. Sadly, one of those so chiding Israel in sundry times past has been the US.

Well, we took our own advice where foreign policy concerns impacted North Korea. And all that such overtures of human brotherhood have gotten us is a nuclear North Korea. Now instead of being able to just destroy NK's nuclear facilities with conventional means and move on. We are forced to recognize that they just might get off a nuke or even several of them, DURING any military action the US might take to eliminate their nuclear capability. A nuclear capability BTW, they have developed at great expense in suffering and sacrifice of their own people, in order to get even with America. Therefore the cheese is now much more binding.

To make matters worse, among the many insanities of Mr Obama's foreign policy machinations where Iran were concerned, was this gem. After having virtually handed Iran the bomb and rather incredibly, in 2014 the US actually threatened military action against Israel if they should try another attitude adjustment via attack against Iran.

ARTICLE EXCERPT:

"The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an has cited a Kuwaiti newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran." http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/191966

As to the history of man, and not that there are not far larger powers at work here, but elections DO have consequences. We're still reaping the whirlwind for electing and then reelecting Wm J Clinton, and I'm afraid where reaping is concerned the 8 year Obama legacy for the sake of world peace, will prove to be the tipping point.

Negligence and dereliction of duty created the North Korean threat, but global/socio reengineering created the Iranian threat. The absurdities as negotiated with the controlling Mullahs by John Kerry, along with a massive payment of over 150 billion taxpayer dollars (in cash) insisted upon and enacted by only one man, President Barack Obama, advanced Iranian aspirations for Middle Eastern dominance exponentially. And BTW, the globalism sickness behind all the afore mentioned lunacy, with which nearly the entire US Congress was beset that gave rise to US globalism, is far from cured in this day.

We sat on our hands until dealing with NK has become a near existential threat. And why would we do that? Because bleeding heart liberals thought and continue to think the best way to deal with rogue regimes in the days of nuclear existentialism, is to allow them to prosecute their own nuclear ambitions while not being responsible in using our own conventional deterrents to stop them. In fact, it was the milquetoast turbo-charged passivity of liberals embedded in the US Congress that created the vacuum into which these rogue regimes grew. Cowardice is not a deterrent as past and recent history clearly demonstrates.
