Shocked, SHOCKED that Iran may have been running nuclear proliferation all this time

Assuming that the new MEK report that alleges that IRGC has been running fully operational military nuclear proliferation facilities after JCPOA was implemented is verifiable and accurate, I will not spend any time holding my breath awaiting regrets and apologies from the Obama administration, assorted political hacks and media hacks, and the hopelessly naive masses that whole-heartedly believed in the nuclear deal this entire time.

None will be forthcoming.

However, I will expect that those who are more independent-minded will take self-serving and highly speculative assertions by the experts with a somewhat bigger grain of salt in the future and certainly before engaging in decisions that will ultimately risk putting us in a significantly worse position than before we start on that path.

Oh, and in other breaking news: North Koreans were in on it, and helped with the creation and design of nuclear warheads. Who could ever have guessed?!

In other news: lying liars lied, continue lying, and will always lie.

How the Obama Administration Invited Foxes to Guard Chicken Houses While Crying Wolf

In the midst of the Russian hacking scandal in 2016, the HP (Hewlett Packard)  allowed Russian security firm to scrutinize cyberdefense system, which was used as a cybersecurity nerve center for much of the US military. That action may have alerted the Russians to the vulnerabilities in that system. Russians reviewed the source code - and the US intelligence and the Obama administration were aware of that and allowed this move to take place.

They then made lots of noise about DNC and Russian hackers and voting machines. When the real Russian cyberscandal lay elsewhere. The Obama administration was notorious throughout the tech world for its poor implementation of security safeguards across all agencies, and across the homeland security world, for allow Russian "diplomats" to covert near US infrastructure in various states they clearly shouldn't have been.

Now we learn that US just let the Russians examine source code for central Pentagon cybersecurity hub, with nary a word about it to the public. That's not only letting fox guard the chicken house, but inviting the fox to be there, opening all doors, and then crying wolf while pointing somewhere at a distance. Metaphorical heads should roll.
