Even nuclear conflict has now become opportunity for political advantage.

MEDIA AND NEVER TRUMPERS DEMAND NO DIPOLMACY WITH RUSSIA BUT YES WITH NORTH KOREA

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION NEEDS NATIONAL SUPPORT IF WE ARE TO AVOID NUCLEAR WAR

 

 

The anti-Trump drumbeat has now taken to the North Korea crisis to demean the president. They fault Trump for using harsh language focused toward North Korea. They claim he is forgoing diplomacy and negotiation in favor of war. This is the North Korea that is testing missiles that will reach the U.S.. The North Korea that without any real provocation by the U.S. is threatening to attack our country with nuclear weapons. So what will we give up to stop North Korea from attacking? We actually hear North Korea parroting the president's media critics.

 

The policy of the United States by Bush, Clinton and Obama has been to give into the threats. Even if it has been to aid his nuclear program. It seems this is the usual policy of North Korea with every new president. Threaten until he is paid off and then use the resources to build a bigger military. This is a time when all Americans need to come together and back up the president. Perceived weakness and division of America will only harden our opponents. This will only make the world a more dangerous place.

 

This country has always come together in a crisis. If we cannot come together in a time like this then the end of this country is near. I actually hear Trump hating pundits sympathizing with North Korea and try to blame Trump for this crisis. This crisis is a result of 30 years of can-kicking by all those who wanted to avoid a no win dilemma. Now that North Korea has nuclear tipped ICBM's we can no longer hope the problem goes away or we can leave it for the next president.

The State department bureaucrats are using this crisis as leverage to attempt to forgo the evaluation and reform of their department. Even more evidence that reform is needed.

 

The Trump administration has been clear on North Korea. Secretary of State Tillotson is holding out his hand for diplomacy and negotiation that must include an end to North Korea's ICBM and nuclear program. Trump and Madis are letting them know the other option is utter destruction.

 

No one likes the choices, we have tried to make it clear to North Korea that we are not a threat to them, but they insist on threating us with nuclear war. Are we to continue to assume they are bluffing.
