Former President Barack Obamas National Security adviser, Susan Rice, wants President Donald Trump to accept North Korea as a nuclear power. History shows that we can, if we must, tolerate nuclear weapons in North Korea the same way we tolerated the far greater threat of thousands of Soviet nuclear weapons during the Cold War, she wrote in a New York Times op-ed, criticizing the presidents fire and fury rhetoric in response to the escalating tensions between the two countries.
Rice urged Gen. John Kelly, White House chief of staff, to stop Trump, and she pointedly attacked Dr. Sebastian Gorka, the deputy assistant to the president.
John Kelly, Mr. Trumps chief of staff, must assert control over the White House, including his boss, and curb the Trump surrogates whipping up Cuban missile crisis fears, she wrote.
Rice complained that Trumps rhetoric was unprecedented and especially dangerous and that America would have to be cautious about its response to Pyongyang.
She defended Obamas actions in response to North Korea, insisting that his administration put them on edge by conducting joint military exercises with South Korea and introducing more economic sanctions.
She urged Trump to continue the Obama doctrine on North Korea despite growing hostility from the country.
Rational, steady American leadership can avoid a crisis and counter a growing North Korean threat, Rice wrote. Its past time that the United States started exercising its power responsibly"

-——Shocking...but coming from a liberal doesn’t surprise me...
We’ve had enough of Obama’s foreign policy of milquetoast defense policies, and acquiescence to despot rulers.
Why isn’t Susan in jail anyway?
“Why is this felony-committing b*tch still walking around free???!?”
And a hoard of others like her - The system has been overrun by criminals in high places.
The question, my FReind, is when does our patience with their tolerance run out?
And aid those that don’t have nuclear weapons to get them. Finally, reduce the amount of nuclear weapons the U.S. has.
Barack Obama said in his first term that no nation should decide if another nation has nuclear weapons.
“...that America would have to be cautious about its response to Pyongyang.”
And Pyongyang should not be cautious about its response to Washington? Why is Pyongyang the default reality that everyone has to accept?
This idiot would be the prime policy maker had Hillary won.
Put down the bong you are thinking of Condoleezza.
Guilty as sin, free as a bird. Thanks for draining that swamp mr president!
Correction to post #6. I misread & thought the article was about Condi Rice.
Of course Susan Rice is a progressive witch.
Looks like the check cleared.
While we are at it...why not tolerate ISIS having nuclear weapons too?
“Put down the bong you are thinking of Condoleezza.”
LOL!!! VT. No bong in use. There’s work to be done, dontcha know.
I was thinking of Condi Rice to be sure.
Sure, Susan Rice, you lowly traitorous slut, let’s tolerate the nuclear demise of the country.
Ask a lib to explain how Clinton said no nukes for NK, but now they will allow it. They will say something like, "that was then this is now", or just deny it altogether.
No, but they were led by dictators who wanted to tear the fabric of US society apart by other means. Their arm in US government (the Dems and RINOs) and on the world scene (the UN) have proven all too effective.
So typical of the Democrat. Criminals of like mind they try to buffer, or protect the criminal North Korean dictator.
Tolerate nuclear weapons in the hands of a lunatic is slightly out of reason.
Not a chance. Not with the possibility of a six-figure death toll....
I was hoping Ms. Rice gave thoughtful reasoning why we should tolerate nuclear weapons in N. Korea. Instead she just picked on Trump.
