You don’t have to. You can simply acknowledge that the accumulated international leadership and world diplomats of the last sixty five years haven’t formulated an answer, so there’s no reason to believe they’ll come up with one between now and NKs imminent creation of a world-annihilating stockpile of nukes.
This year they’ve finally got the pieces in place to deliver nukes to our continent. How much more stockpile time do you want to give them?

Pretty sure NK isn't giving up it's insurance policy against regime change. While they've still got nukes nothing is solved.
Best case scenario is NK gets recognised as a legitimate nation by the US in return for a halt to weapons testing.
Worst case they start calling each other names again and the talks end very quickly.
I have no doubt they'll halt testing, for legitimacy. Not much of a trade, imo. They've already achieved what they needed to.
Yup. Not hard to see Trump being bamboozled by Kim. I know which one I'd most like to face at a poker table.
Yeah and what of Clinton where they got the nukes in the first place? Or Obama getting rolled by Iran as a cornerstone of the man's legacy. You all want to bitch about what Trump might do, but no mention from you undercover hack bitches about what dem presidents did.

And what happens if they use one? We loose a city, they loose a nation. They're not going to use them unless they're suicidal....which they do not appear to be....
Nothing will happen to DPRK until the PRC wants something to happen....Unless our government finally tells the PRC to fuck off....but do you see corporate America allowing that to happen?
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.
For 65 years it’s even “let diplomacy work”.
Now that diplomacy failed it’s “we can’t do anything because they might nuke a city, plus we’re pretty sure they won’t do anything crazy”
Bravo.
Regular long-term thinkers and strategists, this crowd.

Its not "let diplomacy work"....its that doing nothing right now is less risky than doing something....Get the PRC on-board with a blockade and starve them....that's the easiest way to collapse the DPRK....But the PRC hasn't done so....the real enemy here is the PRC...the DPRK is just a fuckin patsy....
North Korea is propped up by the Russians, though. China is responsible for this mess because they snuck in there and attacked us when we were about to end that regime. So it should be them who have to do most of the work to fix it.
