Passive gamesmanship vs. Aggressive gamesmanship. The Japs, South Koreans, and even the Aussies are on board. China has already put Pyongyang on notice that if they fire the first aggressive shot, they can’t come whining to Beijing for support and solace. And both they and the Russkies have fortified their borders against a massive refugee influx (something Angela Jerkel and the EU could learn), with Moscow calling for an evac of Russian nationals along their common border. It should have been nipped in the bud a generation ago with solid, aggressive sanctions and adversarial diplomacy, but what we have now is some fat little Commie psychotic with ICBM and nuke technology threatening everyone right down to the Left Coast of our continent. The last three presidencies kicked the can down the road, and now we’re looking at a coddled despot with delusions of Godhood possessing atomic bombs and long-range missiles. The scenario should have been resolved years ago, but at least Trump is taking the proper tack to put an end to it. Can you image what it would be like if Hilary! was in charge?
“The last three presidencies kicked the can down the road”
The first NORK defector to tell us that they had a nuclear device was in 1986.
