This is delusionary. Objectively speaking, it doesn’t matter if your a Dem or a GOP (I’m Republican) but your assertions with ample evidence can be torn apart into a million pieces. We are in fact now dangerously behind the game and KJU is actually laughing his ass off as he continues to launch TEL MLR SRBMs and upgraded SLBM toward our direction here in Japan and continue HEU production in a number of locations. What is your source of news if I might ask?
Nothing we can do diplomatically or economically could compel the Norks to give up their nukes and missiles. They either have to want to voluntarily give them up or we take them away using military force. Those are the ONLY two options. The only way to disarm them short of WWIII is exploring the very remote chance that Kim will have a change of heart and decide to take his country in a new direction. Hence, Trump’s attempt to reach Kim on a personal level. This approach will likely not be successful but it’s worth a try. My point is everything is being done to disarm the Norks(more than any other past administration) short of initiating WWIII and, just as importantly, no counter productive deals have been entered into. The sanctions and all other inducements available will not cause them to disarm. They have to choose to disarm. The meetings with Kim are actually a tactic not a concession. I hope that clears things up for you.
