How to Deal With Iran & North Korea

The way to prevent countries such as Iran & North Korea from developing nuclear weapons is to utilize covert operations instead military action or international sanctions.
Covert operations means just that: take secret action to sabotage the North Korean and Iranian nuclear programs. This way we can prevent those nations from developing nukes without resorting to war which could lead to another quagmire like the one in Iraq or sanctions which don’t work. If we can secretly sabotage those nuclear weapons programs without starting a war or an international incident we can make the world safer.
Now it should be a simple matter for our Central Intelligence Agency and its allies abroad to sabotage the Iranian and North Korean nuclear programs. Both Iran and North Korea are poor countries, I imagine that there are lots of Iranian and North Korean officials including some very high ranking generals who would gladly go along with our sabotage program for a large deposit into their Swiss bank accounts. I also imagine that it wouldn’t cost very much to bribe security guards, technicians, scientists and laborers working on the Iranian or North Korean bomb program to perform some act of sabotage.
Making a nuclear bomb is a complex process and I imagine it wouldn’t be too hard to gum up the works. Say a little computer hacking, a bomb in the right place or just the wrong materials.
There is historical precedent for this in the early 1980s the Soviets were building a massive pipeline to ship natural gas to Western Europe. The CIA messed up this project by hacking into the Russian computer and causing it to malfunction if the CIA can do this to the Soviets, I imagine sabotaging the Iranian and North Korean nuclear programs should be a piece of cake.
Such sabotage would benefit us immensely the USA would take little political risk for it and the bad guys would waste their money and resources on bombs they’d never complete. There’d be no three ring circus of idiotic diplomatic squabbling at the UN and no destructive wars like the one in Iraq. Since neither Iran or North Korea has real military power they wouldn’t be able to retaliate against us even if they caught our agents sabotaging their plans. Their leaders would end up looking like fools who wasted their national resources on weapons that never got built and eventually be driven from power just like the Soviet Communists were
Neither the North Korean Communist Party or the Iranian Revolutionary could admit that we had sabotaged their nuclear weapons programs even if they had evidence. This would show their peoples how impotent they really were and hasten their demise.
If our sabotage program was detected we could use that to our advantage. If our agents are captured just give them orders to tell the Iranian or North Korean secret police that loyal and effective scientists, technicians and administrators in their nuclear programs are traitors on the American payroll. We can add credence to these claims by planting evidence proving these claims such as overseas bank accounts in their names filled with US dollars. Or plant false biographies proving that prominent figures in their nuclear weapons programs are Jews on the Internet.
Instead of developing nuclear bombs, the effective nuclear weapons makers would be locked up in the secret police dungeon getting tortured rather than building nuclear weapons. If we can get the Iranian and North Korean leaders believing all their scientists are agents of the American Jewish conspiracy we can effectively shut down their entire program. More importantly this will drive many of their scientists to defect to our side.
With a little imagination our spies could effectively and quietly end the threat posed by North Korean and Iranian nuclear weapons without creating an international crisis. Unfortunately our leaders don’t want to take such action because it wouldn’t benefit them.
If there is no international crisis there is no media spotlight to focus on our leaders and give them free publicity. There is no international crisis to make the UN seem important and nothing for its diplomats and inspectors to do.
Nor is there any threat for the Pentagon to use to justify massive military spending. No need for additional troops or new weapons systems. Nor is there any chance for defense contractors make money that they can share with politicians or military officers.
Politics instead of common sense is driving our National Security policy and ensuring that North Korea and Iran develop nuclear weapons in the process. We can only hope that the covert operators at the CIA, and their counterparts in foreign countries do their job in spite of our short sighted leaders.
