I don't really think that Iran-Contra and this are anywhere near the same level of severity. I'm under the impression that if any president any less popular than the Reagan admin would have done such a thing, Congress would've filed articles of impeachment - and fast.
Check out my post on the current with North Korea, and find out what's really going on.
Think of the Awan spy ring as a continuation of Iran-Contra, it's the same story repeating itself: drugs and illegal weapons smuggling. However, this operation is on a global scale and in addition to the drugs and guns involves oil pipelines, mining projects, Intel., human trafficking and even organ harvesting.
How does this relate to Imran Awan, you might be thinking?
The information that Imran has been siphoning from DHS, the House intelligence committee and Foreign Affairs is a critical element in the continuation of the clandestine operations. If the conspirators know where US military operations are being conducted they can protect their assets (drugs/weapons/TIPs) from being disrupted or discovered. Think of illegal weapons pouring into Syria and the record high opium yields in Afghanistan
The situation in North Korea is concerning but they hardly pose a threat to the US, if they attempted to launch an attack on the US, South Korea or Japan the response would be overwhelming. In my opinion, it's more sabre rattling to distract from what's "really going on".
