By Hammerhead<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

During the Iran hostage debacle, we paid (at least above the table) what was called a “back debt” <\/a><\/strong>amounting to $1.7 Billion Dollars (plus interest) to our enemy, Iran, to help secure the hostages release.<\/p>\n

This “back debt” was essentially Extortion Money<\/strong> folks. A Ransom paid to a State that openly sponsors Terrorism.<\/p>\n

One has to concede that this money, along with ALL<\/strong> the other money Iran received when the nuclear sanctions were Lifted (Over $100 Billion) will be used to buy MORE<\/strong> Weapons (conventional and nuclear) and FUND<\/strong> more Terrorism to CONTINUE TO<\/strong>\u00a0ATTACK<\/strong> Israel and the United States.\u00a0Secretary of State\u00a0John Kerry recently admitted to this.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It appears now another Enemy,\u00a0North Korea wants to get into the hostage game.<\/a>.<\/strong>.and why not, it appears to be a very lucrative business!<\/p>\n

In the world of Geo-Political Politics and Diplomacy, anytime you show WEAKNESS<\/strong> in any area, you lose international legitimacy and\u00a0RESPECT\u00a0<\/strong>and leave the door wide open to Exploitation by your Enemies.<\/p>\n

We, the United States, through our utter carelessness and weakness, have essentially put Blood in the Water and now all the SHARKS<\/strong> (our enemies) are coming to FEED.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The question is how many Sharks are we gonna feed (and appease) before it eventually decides to eat us?<\/p>\n

The words of Churchill ring as true today as they did in 1940:<\/p>\n

“An Appeaser is a man who feeds a Crocodile hoping it will eat him Last…”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
