Just so we’re clear here - since 1992, North Korea has stated, repeatedly, that they’ll nuke the United States on their state news program.
They also claim that their leader is a god who doesn’t pee or poop.
China’s pretty much thrown in the towel over North Korea - sure, they’ll still object to some means, but otherwise, Lil Kim has pretty much burned every bridge there, China’s just trying to evade everyone running north into China (who haven’t already fled.)
All this is news now because we finally have a president who doesn’t cave faster than a Lewinsky drops to her knees.
Corker is part of the same establishment who has failed through three successive Presidents to properly deal with North Korea.
