The Cold War deterrence doctrine of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) doesn't work with madmen of either the KJU or Moslem varieties.

I have been familiar with MAD since probably before you were born. I highlighted the KJU part to clarify the acronym part of my question.
Kim Jung Un, the nut, is not enough a part of my normal consciousness ever to be on familiar terms with the nut.

Never in my long life did I ever dream that WMDs and insane tyrants would be so casually thrown around as say, tabloid fodder...
But thank you for the response.

You’re welcome.

Anyway, the point is that allowing madmen of any type to obtain nuclear arsenals in hopes that they’ll never use them due to the fear of being annihilated themselves isn’t a sane survival option. I’m glad that Trump sees that.

The Soviets were commie thugs, but they weren’t insane. Same with the Chicoms.
