Obama and Clinton asserted the same thing but they were given no such pass here on FR. And rightly so. They, too, were incredibly naive and over optimistic about DPRK coming clean. We don’t have to all wait around to the moment POTUS changes his mind and declares the truth about Little Rocket Man screwing us (and him) which he had been doing beautifully early this year, for us to independently sound off on the fact the Kim and crew are once again giving us a line of shit as always, backed up by PRC and Russia, on his own merit and by his own hand.
That is true. However, presently, in the meantime, we are not just waiting around. There are biting sanctions in place.
If Kim doesn’t come around the question becomes shall we kill him in a war or let him wither on a sanctioned vine? I think the Presidents course is to keep a close eye on the withering progress before going to war.
The present course is different than before and perhaps most important, there is no money carrot
