I don't think that that is going to be the assumption for much longer.
I think that Iran recognized that if it could get a path to a deployable,
Nuclear capability, whether it's a rocket or whether it's a missile or even if it's a truck with a nuke in the trunk, they had options.
60% enrichment, they have options.
I mean, that's a dirty bomb.
They have options there.
I mean, with just nuclear waste, they have options to cause real damage.
But enriched military-grade, sustainable kind of permanent state nuclear capability is a much higher level of enrichment than that.
And that's arguably what they have in North Korea.
Their deployability, their capability for actually putting it on a rocket and having the rocket hit where it's supposed to hit and not blow up on the launch pad is a little bit different.
And for that reason, I think we have to take seriously the fact that if the United States wanted to demonstrate their power against the nuclear capable country,
They could do it against North Korea.
There's also this concept that our current military doctrine under Hegseth has applied that no other president has ever applied and no other Department of Defense, Department of War has applied.
And that's this idea called burden sharing.
According to the Department of War, their doctrine now is a doctrine of burden sharing, which means they will force the burden of a national security interest on American allies.
An example is they go into Iran with a small naval force
They bomb Iran, knowing very well that Iran is going to spread the pain across our allies in the Middle East.
To the United States Department of War, that is us, that is our allies, sharing the burden.
If they want to be our allies, they have to do this.
Same thing is happening with Ukraine and with Russia.
