If I threaten to bomb your house, would you find it an honor to meet me? I seriously doubt it.
Kim has the capability to create massive death and chaos in South Korea, and elsewhere. He could quite easily ignite WW III if things should escalate and spiral out of control. Again, why honor someone clearly evil like this with even the suggestion of giving him respect or credibility?
I think its safe to bet that had Obama said something akin to this Trump probably would have condemned it during the campaign.
If you threaten to bomb my house with a bottle rocket and I am facing you with a shotgun, standing beside my husband and son with shotguns, what do I have to lose in offering to talk to you?
Since you are obviously crazy if you make that threat, I will offer to allow you to save face in an effort to stop the whole thing. Why stand there and insult you and make you determined to bomb me and die for it since you can’t back down without being humiliated unless I am just itching to kill you? I want to defuse the situation.
Kim can only ignite WWIII if we allow it, if we join in. It is in our best interests to make sure things don’t “escalate and spiral out of control.” Someone has to be the adult in this situation.
