What now? Pompeo exits North Korea emptyhanded, leaving US with three options -- all of them bad

The libs might get the war they want....

Quote:Option 1: A full U.S. military assault on North Korea to rid the world of Kim’s weapons of mass destruction.
Clearly, as I have laid out in these pages on several occasions, this a very risky gambit. There is virtually no way even our superpower-sized military can guarantee the destruction of as many as 65 nuclear weapons that North Korea is believed to possess.

North Korea’s nukes are scattered around the country and likely deep underground – so they can’t be destroyed in one bombing raid on a single target.[...]

Option 2: A U.S. policy of containment of North Korea on steroids, or what the Trump administration called “maximum pressure.”
The idea of this option would be to cut North Korea off from the world diplomatically and economically.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley would call for an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council, demanding a full export ban on North Korea, as well as the halting of all natural resources (such as oil) going to the North.[...]

Option 3: Accepting North Korea as a nuclear power and moving on to deal with the bigger threat of containing China.
Since America already deals with other nations that have nuclear weapons – Russia, China, Britain, France, India, Pakistan and Israel – reality may dictate that we must reluctantly accept North Korea as a member of the nuclear club.

And there are your liberal talking points for the next week.

Just got to brush up on the script.

Not sure #3 makes much sense. What makes NK different from the other nuclear armed nations is none of those other nuclear governments maintains that they are officially “in a state of war” with the US.

There is a fourth option, which is also highly risky, but could be very effective. However, it will require President Trump having more of a poker face, and really watching what he says to the media. “Accept” North Korea as a nuclear power, but send in CIA & NSA operatives to quietly sabotage all of NK’s nuclear weapons. Both the Left & the Right in Congress will rake President Trump over the coals for what it appears, but it could work.

These talks between the USA and NK might fall apart and maybe they will produce positive results. You can count on one thing though, Trump will make sure if they do come to an agreement that it will be verified that NK is getting rid of their nukes. Not a deal like the leftist messiah made with Iran that was a complete joke, that accomplished nothing.

So you libs keep rooting for NK to keep their nukes. Everyone sees you putting your desire for Trump to fail over the best welfare of the American people and the other people in the world threatened by NK's nuke. You libs are a pathetic excuse for human beings by wishing for that. That of course is nothing new.

Like I say. You can never trust the Little Rocket man and his family for not keeping their words. Lil' Kim is playing mind games with Trump, and Trump is falling for it. Same with Putin playing mind games with Trump as well.

Put sanctions on North Korea, China and Russia to starve out Lil' Kim to a point he have to give up his weapons. Both China and Russia have not out the heavy lid sanctions on the North which they are still getting the goods to make the bombs.
