When was the last time most, if not all, of the community here hung out with a guy or gal from the Foreign Service? Or better yet a member of the State Department of the USA?<p>Or the equivalent in their home country; that's just as well, given that the people I've met all over the world who work in their country's foreign service department are generally good people.<p>If you haven't seen, "A Beautiful Mind," it's a great film and the math literally helps explain why North Korea, despite evidence, might be a, "Sock puppet," used by...well, let's see.<p>What country is having a really, really crappy time with economic sanctions right now?<p>Maybe, just maybe, a bit of experience at interacting with the folks who (gasp) make these kinds of decisions would make the whole situation easier to explain. Or if most of us simply revisit kindergarten in the US, eg, the game of, "Tag." Remember how to claim a cookie that you're not supposed to eat?<p>Touch it. "If I touch it, I own it," because nobody wants to eat the cookie you touched after you liked your finger, right? So, Russia perhaps, "Licks their finger," tunnels through, and then when we discover the breach, "Look, it's the North Koreans!"<p>If not them, I'd say Luxembourg is behind it all. We know most American companies that have operations overseas use them to launder (I mean, mitigate) tax burdens in Europe, right?
