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
