P!
Pence and Bolton stand with Hillary. Not surprised.
I would like our chances of better if Pence and Bolton weren’t talking down to the North Koreans. They’re basically saying we’re going to take you out if you don’t comply.
If you make a leader of a foreign nation look weak before their people, you’re not going to get as much cooperation.

I am not a big fan of Pence or Bolton.
WHat?????
“If you make a leader of a foreign nation look weak before their people, youre not going to get as much cooperation.”
In this case, it doesn’t apply, since most of the NK “citizens” haven’t a clue about what their government is doing. And FWIW, I don’t think the work “cooperation” is operative here. Kim needs to know this is his last chance to be able to run his country, because Trump will push the button on him if he doesn’t do what we tell him to.
“Not surprised” that you pile up more BS than a Nebraskan feed lot
The Trump team seemed to be making good progress on NK until recently. They need to give NK a way to save face so they see it as a win to give up their nukes. NK is not threatening us much lately so I don't quite get this neo-macho move of late.
I also don't see why the Trump admin would want to remind the world of the crap Obama and Clinton pulled in Libya.
There are probably better examples out there. Kadaffy called up Bush and turned over his WMD program enmass with no conditions.
Well, we gave up the war games with SoKo—I think that was to help Un Save face. I think we’re playing this about right.
Also, I watched the interview. I think the author is mis-characterizing Pence’s tone.
Agree we shouldn’t talk down to them, but that doesn’t mean we should cave like all of Trump’s recent predecessors did.
What a stupid position Bolton unleashed. Why did he ever open his stupid walrus mouth? Pompeo was handling things fine. Hillary and Obama MURDERED Gadaffi and unleashed the migrant catastrophe. That’s nothing to be proud of or even refer to without blistering criticism.
We came, we saw, he died. *cackle*
Looks like Pence and Bolton are piling it mighty high, actually.
The “Libyan model” did not include a large standing army with armor, artillery and sophisticated electronics systems. I don’t think pence is helping things with this rhetoric. He should be rehearsing for mcqueeg’s funeral.....
I doubt it. Apples to oranges.
Trump deals on a different plane. The rest of the world... bewildered, and that is a good thing.
I never trusted Bolton. For the life of me, I never understood why Trump would name a National Security Advisor who would have been a perfect fit for a Jeb Bush cabinet post.
doubtful, nork citizens have no weapons and are severely brainwashed and paranoid of everyone.
