#98 pat

I have written about this several times on my old blog. The NorKors have attempted to reach out to the Americans for the last 9 months. Both Bush and Obama have been deaf to the overtures, some of which have been extraordinarily peaceful. It is hard to understand the unwillingness of the USA to take up the NorKors on their previous offer to sell all refined Uranium to either the USA or South Korea. Now we have angered the mad man. I believe that after the last failed nuclear test , the USA felt Kim was on the ropes. Clearly this is untrue. He has perfected the triggers that bedeviled him last time (and that is suspicious in and of itself, these are not easy to manufacture) and has significantly improved his multistage missiles.
This is no longer a joke.

Puhleez. I’m so tired of the talking point that somehow this is our fault. “We have angered the mad man.” Do you realize what you’re saying? You just called him a mad man - are you aware that one can’t reason with a mad man? Your post reminds me of the adult telling the poor battered and bullied child, “What did you do to provoke him?”

So you would propose we all make nice with the mad men of the world so as not to anger them. That’s insane.
