Can we arrange hand-to-hand combat to the death between her and Kamala?

Neither country can afford to have a leader going through menopause with a finger on the nuclear button!

I already did. If you refuse to recognize the reality, I can’t help you.

The United States is undeniably better. No nuclear testing.
No ICBM testing. Even if NK is stockpiling nukes, It has no
delivery system.

Short of a war between China, Russia, and the U. S, there’s
not much we can do about NK except negotiate.

So South Korea and Japan, it doesn’t look good. Was it worse
with NK sending long range missiles over Japan? Yes. Each
test could be seen as a potential attack.

This isn’t Iran, an Islamic state we can give a hard time.

It’s in Asia on China’s border and it is what it is.

Not good. Could be a whole lot worse.

Are we better off after Trump with regard to NK? If you’re
still asking that, your head isn’t in the game.

Tell me what you would have done that would have been an
improvement with regard to North Korea?

No nuke testing ? They’ve been low yield nuke testing for the last two years now! What are you talking about no delivery system? it’s a known fact that they can now lob a long range ICBM’s into the U.S. and expect excellent entry results why do you think they came to the table to the first place? Ah the old lefty stand by of well there’s nothing we can short of war my ass! There’s plenty we could have done.
Doughty if these were the results, of Obama or Hillary Clinton, you’d be screaming treason and weakness you know it.I give Trump an for A+++ effort for fire/fury; which he was on right the path I also believe he would be and i is better suited to handle North Korea than Biden but at the same time I give him F’s for his summits and F’s in his unwillingness to change back to fire/fury even after it became clear that the North was giving us the run around.

They’ve never gotten their missiles to Alaska, so it’s pure
conjecture they can hit the U. S.

Please link me to reports of their low yield nuclear testing over
the last 24 months.

Lastly, please tell me what your plan is to take NK on militarily
to end their nuclear and missile programs?

Both China and Russia went on high alert when it looked like
we might take action. Does your plan include a conventional
war with China and Russia? That appears to be the only way we
could take military action against NK.

A lot of the world’s bad actors smell fear and weakness.

And in time, they will act on it.

B plus from me from Inauguration Day to about April 2018.

Then steadily from a C, to D and finally to a F Minus
on North Korea policy. Straight up. End of story. Full stop. A disaster. I would NEVER countenance what he let the Norks do and how he went about it if it were a lib Dem president. Never.

They smelled weakness, because they tested an SRBM into the Sea of Japan in May 2019 in an effort to upgrade their telemetry and trajectory, to see what Trump would do. Since he was so invested in claiming everything he did with KJU was a splendid success, they knew they had him by the balls because his temperment would be not to admit they had screwed him. So they did it again, and again and again. Something like 15 launches until they could get the trajectory, speed Azimuth just right (variable trajectory) to defeat THAAD and Trump was either silent, or his unbelievable “no problem. Every country tests missiles” even though a violation of the very Singapore agreement he signed if not the North-South Panumunjom agreement from the Kim-Moon summit. They rolled him like a drunk in a cheap alleyway.

What Americans can the US media convince that a NK launch wasn’t authorized by Beiging?>

As many as the US media can...

“his temperament”

Just the stupidest excuse there is LOL!
The MSM love it though!

Overall, I’d say NK is not a big success, and Biden will make it worse.

Tell me a case, one single case, where he has ever admitted being wrong about something? That is why they could skillfully coopt him and do all kinds of crap and get away from it. Because they knew he would continue to gloss it over, excuse their violations and spin it in the best possible light as a complete success. Their little overture to Jared Kushner is indicative of how they played matters rather skillfully.

I’ve no idea why you think any of your ‘points’ matter at all.

Sure, NK has survived, but how has Trump failed? I just don’t see it.

He fell in love. Remember? And he said he would have denuclearization? Right? The former may have happened but the latter did not. He has continued to make claims to the contrary, that his approach worked and yielded results. Comprehensively, nothing can be shown to evidence any success whatsoever.

Comprehensively, nothing can be shown to evidence any failure whatsoever either.

Of course neither of us can make any claims of what a second Trump admin would have accomplished...

But I think the general knowledge in the US that Beiging directs any offense by NK is very useful.

The objectives stated by the President, and his Secretary of State Pompeo, were not achieved or reached with the North Koreans. The Directorate of National Intelligence states they continue to be a major national security priority for the United States. You would have to tell me in fact what HAS been accomplished. Can you specify those? I am happy to provide the things they have not resolved.

Stop just stop you’re embarrassing yourself.
1. It’s not my job to your homework in providing you with links and sources it’s the age of Google bruh
2. The DOD and Japanese defense/Intelligence have privately concluded that they can their missiles past Alaska stop living in 2010 while you were sleeping the Russians, gave them the tech any public statements of denial is smoke/mirrors
3. Who cares that the Russians and Chinese had their forces, mobilized we can’t keep pussying out every single time they and the DPRK thump they’re chests to do so is asinine weak and totally ridiculous ‘War is hell but we die standing on our feet in freedom rather than sitting on our knees.’
You need to watch President Reagan’s a time of choosing
4. Do you really wanna what I think what should have been done? A. WE place should have placed nuclear tipped IRBM’s and MRBM’s on Guam and on Japan along with redeploying low yield tactical nukes back on the Peninsula, along with other advanced strategic assets while increasing our main force to an even 50,000 B. Target the high end Chinese and Russian banks with tougher sanctions on all DPRK assets while launching covert operations on DPRK oil shipments and other entities that are valuable to the DPRK C. We need to enhance advance our cybr and missile defense capabilities.
D. Scrap WWII treaties and allow the Japanese to build a highly full effective advanced military force under the conditions they vow to never use it for Japanese imperialism. E. We need to create a South Pacific +India version of NATO including giving Taiwan normal relations status while establishing air naval missiles basee there.

Put the Russians in check? Easy Air Naval missile bases in Cyprus/ Georgia more assets in the Eastern bloc along with missile defense in both Eastern and Western Europe while increasing our posturing in Western Europe too.

It’s no use AIT isolationism and populism is here to stay.
Our enemies grow stronger and stronger while we get weaker
the Russian backed Alt right controls the entire conservative movement the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans and their proxies are all connected coordinated together making moves while the American right just sits on their knees and bitterly complain about endless wars.
