    Michael Tracey Retweeted 60 Minutes

    This exchange is being touted as a great journalistic triumph, but it’s just another invocation of the same bogus trope always used to undermine diplomacy. For the millionth time, engaging diplomatically with a state ≠ endorsing all the state’s practiceshttps://twitter.com/60minutes/status/1051619117789302784 …

        They should try with Saudi Arabia or Israel instead.

        It's a great journalistic triumph of virtue signalling. Diplomacy is doing the hard slog of actually trying to change things for the better.

        Also there is the unequivocal fact that the US does all these things too. As well as Waging Aggressive War which North Korea has (allegedly) done once.

        Right. But failing to call out a state on awful abuses of human rights does send a message that you either condone them or are too cowardly to do anything about them.

        I think you mixed up the tropes. This is the one that says it’s weird to say you “like” leaders who shoot their relatives with anti-aircraft guns.

        It doesn’t undermine diplomacy to point out that the Dear Leader shouldn’t be your buddy.

        North Korea is a terrible place?! When did this happen? 🙄 We should negotiate peace with Lichtenstein instead.
