Something about feeding a crocodile comes to mind.....


“This is a good deal for the United States,” he said at the time. “North Korea will freeze and then dismantle its nuclear program. South Korea and our other allies will be better protected. The entire world will be safer as we slow the spread of nuclear weapons.”

FLASHBACK 1994: Clinton Says His Deal With North Korea Would Make The World Safer

​

BULLSHIT......as usual..........Clinton's deal would have worked but was revoked in 2002-3 by the GWB administration.....


In 1994, the Clinton administration and North Korea signed an agreed framework that froze Pyongyang’s nuclear program and aimed to normalize US-North Korean relations. The agreement targeted many of the issues that the two sides continue to grapple with – but it soon ran into problems, and ultimately broke down in 2002.

The deal in 1994 called for

• By 2003, a US-led consortium would build two light-water nuclear reactors in North Korea to compensate for the loss of nuclear power
• Until then, the US would supply the north with 500,000 tons per year of heavy fuel
• The US would lift sanctions, remove North Korea from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, and – perhaps most importantly – normalise the political relationship, which is still subject to the terms of the 1953 Korean War armistice
• Finally, both sides would provide “formal assurances” against the threat or use of nuclear weapons

But on its own pledges, by 2002 Washington failed to follow through..[/QUOTE]
If only we had given them everything they wanted this wouldn't have happened. Good thing you don't do hostage negotiations.

I can see where pointing out the failure of past admins to do the job they are required to do has led us to the place we now find ourselves.

Agreed and it's been all presidents. Reagan turned a blind eye when N. Korea started mining for nuclear material and refining plutonium. Bush Sr let them start testing longer range missiles. Clinton tried to appease them. GWB gave them oil as they kicked out UN inspectors and let them become a nuclear power. Obama let them start testing true intercontinental missiles. Trump has let them in the past 6 months test more long range missiles than in the past 10 years. It takes a combined effort.

Looks to me like Trump is the only one that has /is trying to stop it. As far as letting them fire missiles, how could one effectively stop them if they refuse?

Maybe... I voted for him because he talked about taking a more isolationist approach. I would be more than happy if we took a back seat with N. Korea and let the UN and other countries do that and put the bullseye on their back, which is what he campaigned on. Instead it seems we are just fanning the flames now.

Yup, he postponed it quite a bit. Then I think it was around 2003 that N. Korea kicked out inspectors and told the US they had the right to posess nuclear weapons, saying that the Bush administrations DPRK policy is what led them to start up again. Then they went into earnest on building them and in 2006 showed the world they were a nuclear power.

Far from a defense of the nut-jobs in NK.......It was also January 2002 that GWB decided to include North Korea as one within the "AXIS OF EVIL"......Did we have any doubt how we would have felt if some other country labeled us that way???
Hell, we have gone nuts over anyone that besmirches us and we are NOT that "holy."

Well they are an axis of evil. My point is ignore them. Let the UN or S. Korea lead the way. Let someone else put that bullseye on their back for once. We've already got extremist islam with a bullseye on us. What good does it do to provoke them? Every time we do that, they put their nuclear weapons programs into overdrive. We nearly turned the cold war hot with provocation. We won it with quiet strength. We got Libya to drop their nuclear aspirations with quiet strength, not threats.

Trump spoke about more isolationism which I agreed with in many respects. But we see it's isolationism with the UN, EU, Japan, Mexico, Canada. But not with North Korea. I'd rather expand our good relationships than press our bad ones to the top.

Cool.. it's all Bush's fault.

Dumb asses would allow a Terrorist supporting Nation to eventually get Nukes..........A country that chants Death the America..............Not only that they hand them money to do so..............and go look we made a deal..............they will honor it...............LOL

Fools believe that...........Iran's ambitions are clear...........They want Nuclear Weapons. Question is what will they do with them after................Be a regional Asshole like N. Korea.........Like how they just threatened to attack Guam...........

We should have already taken Iran's Nuclear sites out.

Go sit on a toilet, nitwit............Some idiots chant "death to America".....and our own idiot chants "axis of evil"......But, of course, morons like you can always rely on God being on our side because we're just so fucking charming.

A sure sign that they are losing the argument has just occurred.............Just need to add salt.
