Just more smoke and mirrors .
Excerpt:
"But instead all we sought to do was 'force North Korea back to the negotiating table.' This is ironic because that is exactly where they want to be. So long as they are negotiating they know they are safe. And they have long cultivated the notion among our diplomats that simply getting them to agree to talk represents a victory for our side; it must amuse them to see us high-fiving when they 'give in.' Compounding our retreat is the fact that the deal was struck in bilateral negotiations, held last January in Berlin. We had previously resisted this on principle, because bilateral talks would elevate North Korea’s international status. But that principle has gone by the wayside."
We caved.....again!
Will we have to learn our lesson the hard way?
The free world is so damned STUPID! I can't believe we are going this route again with another country going nuclear, AND with a whacko heading the government. Bubba, I am not a Bible thumper, but darned if I don't half believe there is evil abroad in the world causing intelligent people to go brain dead on these very serious and dangerous issues.
ReplyDeleteNo question about it, Brenda.
ReplyDeleteA lot of it is political in nature, forced by the Dems wanting to revert to the failed foreign policy seen in the Clinton era.
