Paying The Price For Our Arrogance – Russia Gives North Korea A Missile Capable Of Hitting Washington D.C.

EXCERPT FROM THIS ARTICLE:  How far Russia will go in furthering North Korean capabilities remains unclear. North Korea is estimated to have roughly 30 nuclear weapons and enough fissile material on hand to increase that inventory to 50 or 60 weapons if it chooses to.  It has had the capability to put those warheads on missiles for some time but now has a dramatically enhanced ability to actually strike first against the United States. Not only can its new missile reach D.C., but because it is solid-fueled it can be readied and launched in a fraction of the time of older, liquid-fueled missiles. That means we may well have little or no warning of an impending strike.

Recent reporting has revealed that early on in the Ukraine war the Russians appeared willing to sit down at the negotiating table and talk about a negotiated end to the war. We were not interested. The Neo-Cons were having too much fun “killing Russians” and there were dreams of total victory. We poured jet fuel on the fire and dismissed any thought of the consequences.

We are now paying the price. War has a way of spiraling out of control, and the consequences are often difficult to predict. In 1914 the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand led very quickly to the deaths of millions. In this case, our hubris has produced a new Russian-North Korean alliance and quite possibly a direct threat to the homeland.

Pentagon Audit Showing $1.9 Trillion in Missing Assets Signals Urgent Need Not for More Money but for Reform

The accounting disaster is a reflection of layers of bureaucratic incompetence which are undermining and crippling American national security.

The new audit report about the Department of Defense is another signal that the Pentagon needs reform a lot more than it needs extra money. As the Hill reports, “1,600 auditors combed through DOD’s $3.8 trillion in assets and $4 trillion in liabilities, conducting some 700 site visits.”

Defense, like all government agencies, has to submit to mandatory audits, thanks to reforms passed in the early 1990s. The auditors “found that half of DOD’s assets can’t be accounted for,” the Hill adds.

Think of that statement for a minute. An estimated $1.9 trillion in defense assets can’t be accounted for. How much confidence can we have in a Department of Defense which can’t keep track of trillions of dollars’ worth of equipment and other assets?

The breadth of the Defense Department failure is astounding. There are 29 separate audits in the department. Comptroller Mike McCord says only seven passed. Four were conditional, and 18 audits completely failed.
