I knew for two decades that N. Korea would never give up nukes. They laughed at it and now they say I am right. But the conclusion is same: appease N. Korea. They said N. Korea will give up nuke if we appease her, and now say that N. Korea won't give up nukes so we appease her anyway.

Whey you violate one agreement, its likely that you’ll not adhere to others as well. That simple fact is apparent to most of us outside of Foggy Bottom in Washington.
Bureaucrats and politicians like things like international agreements, bi-lateral talks, dialogues, and pacts because it keeps them relevant and employed. They are OK with being deceived just as long as they can strike another “deal” to fix the last one that failed.

Weakness invites aggression. Always has, always will.
