In a news conference, Mr. Kerry suggested that the United States could remove some newly enhanced missile defenses in the region, though he did not specify which ones. Any eventual cutback would address Chinese concerns about the buildup of American weapons systems in the region....
... Mr. Kerry’s stance on newly fortified missile defenses appeared to be a selling point to get China, the only country presumed to have any real influence over North Korea, to do what it has long resisted — crack down hard enough that North Korea’s leaders will give up an increasingly sophisticated nuclear program.
1 - CHINA MAY HAVE INSTIGATED NORTH KOREA TO GET JUST SUCH A DEAL.
2 - OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES KERRY AND HAGEL ARE ONE-TRICK PONIES: APPEASEMENT IS THEIR FAVORITE FOREIGN POLICY TOOL.
SO, WE KNEW IT WAS GONNA UNFOLD THIS WAY FROM THE GET-GO.
3 - IF KIM IS A ROGUE, IT WON'T WORK AND WE'LL HAVE A WAR - PERHAPS AS EARLY AS TOMORROW.
4 - IF KIM INSTIGATED THIS CRISIS ON HIS OWN TO PROVE HIS METTLE AND TEST THE LOYALTY OF HIS GENERALS - (AND CHINA MERELY CASHING IN), THEN I HOPE WE GET SOMETHING FROM CHINA IN RETURN FOR THE CUTBACKS. AND NOT JUST THEIR PLEDGE TO CRACKDOWN ON THE NORKS.
I DOUBT WE DID.
I DOUBT WE DID.
