And what they\u2019ve told us is, frankly, a bit disturbing.<br \/>\nSpecifically, according to reports from those Chinese nuclear experts <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2015\/04\/23\/china-reportedly-issues-new-warning-over-north-korean-nuclear-production\/\">North Korea may already have produced 20 nuclear devices<\/a>. By next year, those same Chinese experts predict North Korea may have around 40.<\/p>\n<p>Predictably, the current\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <del>DC clown <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefreedictionary.com\/krewe\">Krewe<\/a><\/del>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Administration has touted its success. The other day their Envoy to the six-party nuclear talks regarding the Korean peninsula pointed to the proposed \u201cthe US gets nada\u201d nuclear deal with Iran as a &#8220;great thing&#8221;. That individual &#8211; Sydney Seiler &#8211; was quoted this week as saying that the proposed Iran &#8220;deal&#8221; <em>actually <\/em>shows <a href=\"http:\/\/www.voanews.com\/content\/us-envoy-iran-nuclear-talks-prove-us-willingness-to-engage-north-korea\/2729801.html\">is that the US is willing to deal with trustworthy partners<\/a>, and that North Korea should learn that lesson from our nucdear dealings with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Really? Well, let me give the \u201cesteemed\u201d Mr. Seiler making those public statements a bit of advice.<\/p>\n<p>Fella, here\u2019s a quarter. I suggest you go use it and buy a clue.<\/p>\n<p>What our recent \u201cdeal\u201d with Iran shows is that when an adversary remains firm, this Administration will deal anyway if it yields a good \u201csound bite moment\u201d that\u2019s useful for domestic political advantage \u2013<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> even if it means selling out our own security interests in the process<\/span>. And Ill give long odds that the North Koreans have been watching closely and have learned that lesson quite well already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News reports that Chinese nuclear experts have met with US officials to discuss North Korea\u2019s &hellip; <a title=\"Chinese Scientists Say North Korean Nuke Threat Worse Than Acknowledged\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=59495\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Chinese Scientists Say North Korean Nuke Threat Worse Than Acknowledged<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":623,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/623"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=59495"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59495\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=59495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=59495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=59495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
