It doesn't look like North Korea ever had a working bomb. Their recent test was a complete dud. We're giving them oil and food in exchange for dismantling their reactor. So we're back to the same arrangement that the Clinton administration had negotiated before Bush abandoned the treaty in 2002.
Oil, food and NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY are what Clinton gave them.
No that’s not what I mean at all.
The left way of negotiation relies on the other side to stick to the terms of the negotiation and baring the responsibility of verifying that they are in compliance.
The RIGHT way of negotiation is laying out CLEAR consequences of not complying with the negotiation, doing the verification and punishing those that don’t comply.
In your world, maybe... so America got North Korea to (ostensibly) dismantle its nuclear program by threatening to bomb them, invade and try another "regime change?" I'm not sure that's how it happened...

In my world….LOL.
No where did I say anything about bombing anyone or anything.
The right way to deal with a dangerous out of control regime is set boundaries as to what is acceptable, establish the consequences for non compliance, monitor their behavior and follow through with the consequences for non compliance.
The left way is set boundaries, that both sides know will never be enforced.
Give them the very weapons you are trying to keep them from having.
Look the other way and when it’s too late to do anything about it, spin it into looking like it’s a good thing that an out of control dictator can destroy his neighbor.
Have the UN impose meaningless sanctions that neither side will ever monitor and tell their followers that all is well.
A "tough" voice of reason is contradictory. Send Bolton to Iran and see how long he lasts.
Edit: No, send his wife and kids first.
Yeah , perhaps a tough "rational" voice would have been a better choice of words! why is it libs always want to go after the spouse and children of those they disagree with hmmm?
When the left negotiated with N. Korea, N Korea ended up with a nuclear bomb. When negotiations were done the RIGHT way N. Korea is now working on dismantling their nuclear capabilities.
Your representations of the 1994 Agreed Framework and of subsequent related events as between the US and the DPRK are shockingly distorted. This is the sort of thing I would expect to see on NewsMax or some other such node on the right-wing disinformation media network...

The sealing of sites and the 24/7 presence of the IAEA did not occur?

That is why France is even on board with us in saying that we cannot tolerate a nuclear Iran.
Oh, so NOW France is an acceptable gauge of of international political situations...pretty convenient
Sorry, you don't get to use France in this argument, your talking heads (Hannity, O'Reilly) forefeited that right when they went ballistic at the time of the Iraq War...
Could it be that France was somehow correct in opposing the attack on a country that was no threat to anyone except itself; because they saw that when a more credible threat arose, the world would be less apt to act quickly beacuse of Iraq?
Or are you going to blame France's refusal to act against Saddam on them having financial ties to Saddam? Go ahead, try that argument....I have 6words for you:
Saudi Arabia and the United States
