It was diplomacy that lead to North Korea having nuclear weapons. Clinton basically gave North Korea fast breeder reactors with the promise that they wouldn’t use them to make weapons. And the Democrats trusted them. Now we have a nuclear North Korea. Thanks Democrats.
Kinda like Iran, they never learn.
I don’t think the Democrats trusted them to act the way Republicans might trust them to act. Clinton and the Democrats got what they wanted. The Norks did what they were expected by all to do.
