And no one has the guts to stop them. They're scared shitless.
It's not really that people don't have the "guts" to stop them. It's that everyone is trying to do it diplomatically instead of just wiping the country off the map (figuratively speaking, of course). This is one of those times where Team America: World Police got things exactly right.
It's not that anyone is scared; it's that everyone is like "if you don't do this, we'll be mad at you".
As for the question at hand, if Rodman is more accomplished as a politician by getting into NK to speak with KJU, then that would put him as more accomplished as a politician than any American president since 1953 or so.
Right - and where has this "diplomatic" solution gotten us? With North Korea's nuclear arsenal more advanced than ever, and now has potential to strike the US? ---
