      In terms of the truth or morality of praising Kim, no. But it's not as if there is no logic: Venezuela has an active opposition, NK doesn't, so we are dealing w/the existing regime. I don't agree with the latter, but as a matter of realpolitik, it's a strategy. https://twitter.com/BenjySarlin/status/1109158308970139649 …

      Well, also, critics of VZ are all over the GOP. It's mostly just Trump himself buttering up Kim.

      Um, Trump is the president and standard bearer of the GOP. And 99% of Republicans (both politicians and pundits) ignore his extravagant praise of Kim. So you are all implicated in it.

      I, like a whole lot of people on my side, have been publicly appalled by his praise of Kim, and publicly disagreed with it as recently as...this thread. My point is just that there *is* a strategy, even if it's a terrible one repeating Obama/W/Clinton failures in Korea.

          Except it's much worse because it also legitimizes Kim in a way that no prior admin did.

          The same thing they've been doing for 2+ years: their part to push/pull policy in the right direction in spite of a bad Commander in Chief. And there's plenty of evidence that those efforts have had a lot of influence on Admin policy just not in every case.

          It seems like you *want* there to be a strategy, when it's clear that Trump's foreign policy is just like all his other policies: entirely dependent upon who is kissing his ass.

          And that's the strategy: praise for Donald is now our primary national interest.

          You and people and on your side are marginal in the GOP. Also even here you are covering up for Trump. Obama/W/Clinton did not extravagantly praise North Korea's system of governance. That's a Trump speciality and the GOP now owns it.

          Lol you can't even resist playing apologist in the same tweet you claim you hold trump to account. Btw, There's literally not a coherent strategy if the state dept is doing one thing on sanctions and trump another.
