A. Tillerson should not asserting something that contradicts what The President himself has said.
B. Tillerson should not be talking to CNN. Ever. NO ONE in this administration should be talking to CNN. Ever. They should laugh in their faces anytime they request an interview about ANYTHING.
Dear Kim: “Surrender Dorothy”
signed - The Donald
“US President Donald Trump wants a diplomatic solution to the nuclear standoff with North Korea and will continue to work on it “until the first bomb drops,”
The libs will be going into panic mode if they have not already.
Just lip service, nothing to get alarmed about. There will be a regime change in Pyongyang. Hopefully, the national building and operation Korean freedom is kept to a minimum.
One 500lb bomb directed at Kim will be the solution.
Chinese and Russian troops coming across the border with give pause to the surviving North Koreans.
Trump is simply stating the obvious, that diplomacy will solve the NK proliferation problem. The diplomacy may come before we bomb the crap out of them or after. The big picture is that diplomacy always needs to come before or after war. War without diplomacy is a complete waste. We learned that in Iraq and elsewhere.
No contradiction. Donald is bad cop. Tillerson is good cop. They are working together, hoping to keep the bombs from dropping.
The best solution would be some sort of coup in NK, followed by reunification with the South along the German model (i.e. N Korea goes away, the South takes over). The NK coup leaders get immunity and a cushy retirement.
Seems like a trump sanctioned bit of clarity - nobody is eager for war, but the odds are that first bomb will drop and then North Korea gets a major face lift...
Why is this news? Everyone wants a diplomatic solution to everything. Liberals refuse to believe that sometimes that’s just not possible.
“He has made it clear to me to continue my diplomatic efforts,” Tillerson said. “Those diplomatic efforts will continue until the first bomb drops.”
Doesn’t get any clearer than that...
