      The parallels between the destruction of the Agreed Framework with North Korea and what some are trying to do to the JCPOA are frightening.

      2. Read this on negotiations with North Korea. It's substantially correct, with some quibbles. https://www.thenation.com/article/diplomacy-with-north-korea-has-worked-before-and-can-work-again/ …

      3. The Agreed Framework kept North Korea from a bomb for a decade. But Republicans tried to undermine it from the beginning.

      4. Just as they are now doing with the Iran Deal (JCPOA). They lie and provoke.

      5. Just as in the Bush administration, they have an ear in the White House. Nikki Haley has been repeating their lies verbatim.

      6. When the Bush administration broke the Agreed Framework in 2003, North Korea moved toward nuclear weapons.

      7. But they continued to hold out the possibility of negotiation. Thuggishly at times, but the possibility has been and is still there.

      8. What I don't understand is the motivation of those who would break up these stabilizing agreements.

      9. They say they don't want war, but they make war more likely. They claim they can win a better deal without negotiating.

      I would like to believe that they aren't dumb enough to want war. But they seem to want it. And their fans openly drool over the prospect.

          They seem to believe it won't impact them if war happens.

          It won't. Look at Iraq.
