Did Iran Fund North Korea's Secret Chemical Weapons Deal?

A new United Nations report detailing chemical arms-related shipments from North Korea to Syria raises one big unanswered question: Who finances such illegal weapons deals?
After all, the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad has very few financial resources of its own, and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un is known to use illicit sales of military wares to help bypass international sanctions targeting his country’s legitimate exports, and to finance his grip on power.
In the past, one of Assad’s strongest supporters, Iran, has been suspected of financing arms deals between Syria and North Korea. Separately, the Islamic Republic reportedly has cooperated with North Korea in developing nuclear- and missile-related armaments.
Iran’s military involvement supporting the Assad regime in Syria, as well the growing military presence of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iranian proxy militias in Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and all the way to Afghanistan, has worried rival Sunni regimes in the region, as well as Israel and, increasingly, the United States.
So did the Iranians finance the chemical shipment described in the UN report?

Spoiler alert: Almost certainly.

11 The article doesn't even mention it, but the North Koreans extraterritorially assassinated a relative of Whoa Fat (relative, and hence possible pretender to the throne).

Using VX.

In an airport.

Yes, airport life actually gets worse than blaring CNN in the gate area and $10 bottles of Bud Light in the bar. You might get a whiff of secondhand nerve gas if someone Pyongyang dislikes is on the same concourse at the same time.

43 The other scary thing about the Norks having proven VX production capability is if they've managed to start filling artillery shells with the stuff, which if you don't mind killing occasional gun crews with leaky ordnance, is not that hard to do. (Handling-safe "binary" weapons are a lot more difficult to work up.)

In a scenario of war on the Korean peninsula, Northern heavy artillery firing into downtown Seoul is a real possibility. Seoul, which is incredibly densely populated, economically important both to SK and to the world economy, and hard to evacuate.

Now imagine tens of thousands of large bore arty rounds full of one of the world's nastiest nerve gases raining down. It would be a humanitarian catastrophe.

It's probably time to start mass distribution of atropine syrettes via the local authorities.

They're playing a much different game.

It's a fun game.

It's been going on since Woodrow Wilson decided to get the US involved in WWI.

Actually, it bites us in the ass all the time.

We and the Sauds fund some start up Mujahadeen Saudi fighting the USSR in Afghanistan -- leads to 9/11.

We and the Sauds fund some start up Mujahadeen Saudis (and others) fighting the Russians in Syria -- leads to ISIS.

101 Oddly enough, crying "Wolf!" in a crowded theater would make the same point in an argument as yelling "Fire!" or "Tornado!" or "Generic Dangerous Crisis #543!"

But that's still no reason not to mock the frivolous dingbat roundly.

140 Iran funded the roadside bombs ... involved first hand in killing Americans. Those pallets of money could have gone to veterans, Iran OWED US. But Obama supported fraud against veterans, even as illegals were given free unlimited care.

Not an accident ... he hates America, especially veterans that fought his foreign Mussie pals. "God Damn America" was his church stated "Obama Doctrine". Bush could not find the WMDs, Obama funded them for our enemies.

Here is Clapper ... Obama's finest ... idiot, not aware of the most sensational recent news. Good Grief ... vacuous dolt. Liar about "wiretapping" all America. This is what we got from the Deep State mob.
