“Recent history tells us that when the US threatens regime change, it often delivers when the military balance of power makes that a feasible option. Saddam Hussein and Moammar Qaddafi would testify to that if we hadn’t killed them. The DPRK is right to suggest they have tried diplomacy over and over again with the United States, and nothing ever changes. Whether or not the Koreans comply with the terms of the agreement, as soon as the American administration changes, these agreements get broken by the US side. Attempts to prevent North Korea from developing a nuclear weapons program through military pressure and economic sanctions have failed spectacularly, and it is obvious to anyone that continued sanctions pressure and military provocations are not going to alter that calculus. In last week’s speech, Kim Jong Un laid out the problem.” (12/03/24)
