Yes, N Korea has shown it can’t be trusted, again and again.. but unlike other Administrations... Trump did not hand them cash for empty promises they could break later.
If N. Korea breaks their promises, it will be evident quickly that they have no intention of biding by the agreement.
Unlike the 7 years or more it took for other Administrations to validate they had been had.
Could this all be a waste of time? Sure... but the only other real solution to N. Korea is a military one, and does anyone want a war where there is little doubt the death toll would be in the hundreds of thousands if not more??
The status quo was not tenable, so we give this a try... if it fails, it fails, but it can’t be said it wasn’t tried.
They just won’t allow Trump to have a clear win.. a win that only came about because he completely changed the geopolitical stand of the US when it came to NK. Will it play out as a win or a waste of time? Only time will tell.
That doesn’t diminish this moment, and its repugnant that the press will keep trying to.
“and does anyone want a war where there is little doubt the death toll would be in the hundreds of thousands if not more??”
Yes, guys like Bernie who can preen morally and pose. Of course, he will be far away from the actual fighting and dying.
