It's not just the Democrats. Every president has dealt with NK in the same exact manner and it's been a failing strategy for decades. I dunno why you would possibly think Joe Biden of all people would be the one to break from that mold.
Clinton just had an attempt at a deal that fell through.News flash: if you're still expecting NK to give up on it's nuclear program after all these years you have your head in the sand.

I don't expect any nation to give up its nuclear program after Iraq. I think Libya only reinforced that. The 800 lbs. Gorilla in the room now is China, who seems to have mastered the art of using our weapons against us both militarily and financially. They can't match us toe-to-toe but they're well aware that be shaking our hand with the left, and building a tank with the right, they're not only impossible to invade, they're capable of damaging us with weapons and economics.
China's the key to the global stage so long as they remain strong and don't give a **** what we think about who they trade with, giving a sort of immunity to Iran, Russia, and North Korea.
It's slightly funny that Trump ran so hard on dashing the Iran nuclear deal, because what really lead to that was both Russia and China saying "We're done putting sanctions on Iran, you won't have the UN Security Council votes to keep them." That gets lost in the news about Iran, but it means that while they get an outrageous amount of heat for the level of threat they are, others are only incentivized to support them. Iran, unlike N. Korea and Russia, are more sympathetic to the world since their government was toppled by the US, and they routinely get attacked by the US and Israel. |
