I enjoyed reading this article from the Atlantic. I think the author captures what's happening quite well.

https://www.theatlantic.com/internat...issile/566429/

In especially liked this analogy:

Quote:

“You’re buying a car from someone who’s cheated you on eight previous agreements. You are going to define what a car is. It can’t be a toy car. It has to have an engine. It has to have a carburetor. You’re going to get your lawyer involved to make sure there is no way they can cheat you a ninth time.”

Trump literally said less than 24 hours after this photo op that the "nuclear threat from NK was over" and to sleep safe tonight... and you are the one saying people are rushing things along?

Understand, stupid statement.....now what? Do you still want it now? Or are you going to understand it takes time?


If we agreed with every stupid statement obama said, we'd still believe that all Americans will have insurance......

That picture of the North Korean missiles is old, so that's fake news created by the left.
