Good read Highsea. Thanks for sharing.
Once again the major powers sit and do nothing and wait for US has to go in and clean up what's in their own backyard. Meanwhile hoping that the US becomes weakened and exhausted so that they (SCO) can strengthen their own position.
You think the US would stand by and watch one of our neighbors like Mexico or some South American country proliferate Nuclear Weapons? Hell no we wouldn't. But Russia and China don't do squat!
There is a greater evil in standing by and doing nothing which is what the SCO is doing. Nuclear proliferation is something the N5 should have put a stop to jointly at whatever the cost but the other states are much too concerned with their strategic strength and postioning. Thereby turning a blind eye. Now we're up to N8 going on N9 perhaps more. Nuclear power is not an inalienable right.
The SCO needs to wake up and understand that there's a freight train comming and it's headed for disaster. If Iran goes unchecked we're gonna have a world nightmare on our hands. And the SCO is gonna be made to suffer along with everyone else. And it's not going to be business as usual.
