The media is hailing it as a “landmark” deal, but it’s no different than the first deal the North Koreans broke with the Clinton administration. I’m not all that excited about being blackmailed by a regime we know can’t be trusted. And what message are we sending to the Iranians and other nations with WMD or nuclear ambitions? All this deal does is buy time. If the North Korean don’t come back for another $300 million or more in “support”, then the Iranians or some other rogue state will. The only potential bright spot is the administration has more time to get the missile shield operational because blackmailers rarely stay bought for long.
