Will Guam tip over with more bombers?
This is the real question.
You’ve described our State Department rather accurately.
It has nothing to do with insincerity. Even if Bolton and Trump are correct, you don’t come out and compare the current situation with a previous one where the guy who gave up his nuclear program was later undermined by the U.S. and assassinated.
