For Trump and the US Right, Breaking the Nuclear Taboo has Always Been Thinkable

“Now, in the aftermath of Kim Jong-un’s sixth nuclear test, it looks increasingly as though Trump is determined to create another debacle. He has attacked South Korea for appeasement and threatened to scrap its trade deal with the US; he has threatened China with sanctions and warned that he may use nuclear weapons. International co-operation over the North Korea crisis is waning as I write.”

The propensity for war common to most on the right is one of many factors which render conservatives unfit to govern.

GHWB was fit to govern, as was Nixon had he not given in to paranoia; Ford was a fine President. Today's conservatives are just too radical.

For the OP and the rest of the left, surrender is always the first option.

Is that what you call the decades of "strategic patience" that Trump will continue to pursue against NK?

Strategic patience is a failure. If Kim continues on his present course, there will be a short war.

Hey stupid, I believe Harry (Hiroshima) Truman was a Democrat.

If Trump is dumb enough to start a war, it will not be "short."

The left's way of dealing with N. Korea would be to draw a line in the sand, dare them to cross it, then draw another one when they do. Sound familiar?

Just like JFK in 1962.

How so, you believe China will stay out? How many South Koreans die if we nuke North Korea?

Yeah Trump did that and then NK fired a missile over Japan.

"North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States," Trump said during a meeting on opioids from his golf club in New Jersey. "They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen."

And then North Korea kept threatening the U.S. and started shooting missiles over Japan.

Not quite the same, fruitcake. Trump did not say "If N. Korea makes another threat we will attack them". He was giving them fair warning but he was not specific as to what he will do or when he will do it. It's only been a few days. Stay tuned.

There is nothing consevative about them at all and the economic policies are total neoliberalist.

Typical anti-American progressive moron. Blame President Trump for the decades of Kim dynasty stupidity and nuclear ambitions, and never criticize the third world dictator for breaking a "nuclear taboo".

You know we sold them reactors from a company Rumsfeld once sat on the board of directors of, right? You helped pay for them, Bush ponied up US taxpayer money to help them complete the deal which was an utterly bipartisan undertaking by the way. Look it up pard.
