Instead of offering the N. Koreans the deal we just offered them now, 7 years ago, we could have stopped them from actually building more bombs.
btw anyone think they are not keeping a few bombs in secret?
We arent disabling their bombs. We know they have 8-10 nuclear weapons. We arent disabling them. We are disabling their capability to make more.
As for they could have done this seven years ago. Or try and say Kim made nukes because of the Axis of evil rhetoric.
NK was working on nukes before the axis of evil. And it is HIGHLY unlikely they would have conceded to more aid without getting nukes first. Theories in International Relations would confirm this.
Remember we gave them over $6billion aid during the Clinton admin. Kim was getting nukes for future negotiating power. He wasnt going to give that up for another $6billion.
