it seems like iran has always been the big bad
but when it comes to north korea everyone's like on
that they have nuclear weapons and a continued chance then
but no one cares right so there's there's a little bit of a acting when it
comes to some politicians they pretend to be a little concerned but when it
comes to americans in general week i don't make fun of north korea out we
don't really see that as a real threat at least not the moment but with iran
there's always the sense of urgency all my doctor building nuclear weapons we
have to do something called i got the uranium we gotta do something
immediately
so why
is back in the atlantic did the job breaking this down and i just cannot
wait to discuss this
so i just give you guys are uh... some specific examples of
how american politicians speak out about iran but don't care much about north
korea
in defense secretary timetables
full-day confirmation hearing before the senate armed services committee but
working robs mention one and one hundred seventy times
north transmission ten times
now remember iraq doesn't have nuclear weapons yet yeah north korean dots now
of course that nuclear weapons that they have or their nuclear capabilities and
all that impressive at the moment hubble we know that
they have something that writing their back to me brand but they do have them
they do not have exactly i'm part of the problem
underwent distribuidora for it
double legacy firstly as the the tensions between us and and uh... in
north korea also between north korea south korean all that from the ratchet
up in the past few weeks let me know
at least of if read it is representative but it's just it's just jokes like he
did on the main show couple days ago you did the picture of uh...
uh... pins on uh...
your own with the the pig nose and everything like yes it just seems so
easy to market
and it's because their culture is a little bit more foreign obviously
they're their leaders are fit in such a different position than that they have a
rich person it's easy to mark the lights also before we get into like asian
stereotypes because that's actually part of this and i knew that it would be part
of this let's discuss uh...
here's some of the real issues with the wind
love this explanation thing it's the best one so far with iran you'll have
religious martyrs right so when you talk about nuclear war
a lot of countries that have nuclear weapons will not engage in nuclear war
because they know that that will be the demise of their own country
offer instead of someone tax the united states of the nuclear weapon when you
think the united states is going to bring in attacking you
which our nuclear weapons so what you're on there more religious martyrs that
might be
willing to die in the name of the original in the name of their country
with north korea they care much more about their state
as opposed to anything else or or making sure to preserve their stay
and you all know that there are three has been threatening us for a very long
time this is not some new development
so i love that explanation but then they also i kind of delved into on
stereotypes so when it comes to moslems of course the stereotype is they're more
danger as al you know that there is a
and bill engaging riskier behavior whereas with occasions there seem isn't
seen as worked in a and people don't generally think of them as a threat
about sacred belief that by any way shape or form but you know that's
just in general thinking behind it and i thought was interesting headed to some
extent that's reflected in in popular culture like you see that who's the bad
guy in the action movies changes over time infor
herb the last fifteen years or so it's usually been muslims of some stripper
data from one country doesn't matter which
sometimes they're made up countries they will typically be the villain whereas
north korea like they were one of the bond movies like it never dipping down
that and i don't know if that causes some of what leads to us to fear around
more than north korea or if it's simply a reflection of it
but that's going on to the popular culture
and also you know i keep in mind that we have the influence of israel israel is
that you know very much willie are n_b_c_ claim that they're willing to
that
anti-tax iran if they do see iran is a threat and how many times as net neon
set
we're going to go in with an attack iran
so that kind of makes the situation in iran a lot
shakir
uh... but another thing is and i i didn't know this story to recently
north korea out that the state media north korea had reported that they found
a unicorn lair
uncovered that look if you're probably the first hour but if your
it's telling your people that you discovered a unicorn layer
you know if you're threatening us with nuclear weapons newman's contingency
ears i don't even know if that's the craziest thing like he's only ever board
three hundred any invented oral sex like there's a lot of crazy things that you
know they do but if you're in for you
but i think that you did touch on the biggest one like they've been listening
this atlantic p several reasons that we fear run more than north korea but i
think they israel's the most important part
visiting like cuba real the average american who does not care much about
any country in the world cares about america and israel and in both of these
cases the country that we could potentially fear has a hostage to some
extent iran has israel's hostage north korea even more directly as south korea
as a hostage and that the average american for whatever reason just does
not feel any connection to south korea for some raised the specter in in at
incredible growth of u_n_ job christianity in south korea recently
uh... i think that they just care more about israel
