In reply to the discussion: The Voices on the Left Who Said Clinton Was as Bad as Trump Helped Get Us Fury and Fire [View all]LittleBlue
(10,362 posts)45. Unfortunately this is a problem of our own making. President after president kicked the can down the
road, hoping something would change. Some sanction, convince China, blah blah blah. They hoped Kim Jong Un would be like his father, wrecking havoc in his little area but not becoming a threat.
We procrastinated until now, because they are developing a nuclear arsenal that threatens the world. Clinton, Obama, even Reagan and Bush solving this would have been better than allowing Dump to put us all at risk.
This didn't suddenly happen. It happened because for decades we went to sleep on a mad dictatorship, and now they have ICBMs. Dump or no Dump, it didn't have to be this way.

Bill Richardson, an DPRK expert, for one thing. And she would have gotten other countries involved.
