...then there's North Korea. The scenario facing the Pacific Command (PACOM) posits that Kim Jong Il dies in 2016 and is replaced by a new leader who resumes the processing of uranium for the countries' long-disputed nuclear weapons program. Once two North Korean uranium enrichment plants are discovered, the United Nations passes a security council resolution to oppose the action. In response, North Korean forces cross the DMZ and launch an invasion of the south by disguising thousands of troops within groups of refugees, creating what is called "an irrgular warfare-type scenario that may require a mixture...
...more than an Iranian proxy. And while the Obama Administration has begun unfurling a strategy of engagement aimed at addressing the nuclear question and other points of tension with Iran, Netanyahu has warned that time is short and that Israel will act militarily if U.S. diplomacy fails to halt uranium enrichment in Iran.

In spite of the Iranian regime’s repeated claims to the contrary, these actions present legitimate cause for concern for the safety of U.S. allies...
...Most international observers, including the International Atomic Energy Agency have agreed that Iran is operating an illicit uranium-enrichment program to develop material for use in a nuclear weapon. It is the national interest of the United States, Israel, Russia, the European Union, and most Arab nations to prevent this nation from developing nuclear weapons...
