I know the situation is complicated due to the consequences, but North Korea really has no reason to comply with us because we obviously have been backed into a corner by a much considered lesser country. This is almost entirely on the Trump administration too. Obama was playing a very finesse game of diplomacy with the North Koreans which Donald immediately ended and went for a programme of antagonizing North Korea. Only problem is we don't actually have anything North Korea wants and they want is to know that they will attack if they feel threatened and they CAN hit the United States. Whats more China doesnt want North Korea to fall with a chaotic united Korea on their border and thats exactly what would happen if they pulled support from North Korea so its a big mess and Trump completely misplayed his hand due to completely misunderstanding the North Korea/US/China dynamic Its really remarkable how fast that all shifted. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg <cite>Eddv posted [p:884014256] in Politics C...
