    So: 1) normalizing a nuclear North Korea is the best realistic policy option 2) It's hilarious to see that this policy is coming about because of a combination of Trump's vanity & American right's subservience to his cult of personalty.https://twitter.com/JChengWSJ/status/1100571183387312128 …

    WSJ editorial: "Accepting the reality of N. Korean nuclear weapons doesn’t mean acquiescing in nuclear blackmail…The message is simple: Mr. Kim may have his nukes, but any use of them will result in a U.S. military response." https://on.wsj.com/2EkciO6

        I'm unclear what has changed. NK is not going to give up their nukes. They never were. We're going to hit them if they start dropping nukes. Status quo.

        Does this mean the WSJ now backs the Iran deal?

        Why do we need a negotiation to permit us to militarily respond to NK use of nukes?

        So deal to stop Iran from getting nukes = bad, but doing nothing with North Korea = good?

        I'm okay with a madman having nuclear weapons. The real issue is getting beautiful beach-front condos built in the hermit kingdom. I think Trump can pull it off.

        It’s interesting getting to watch an empire implode in real time.
