The economy is humming along at a rate that the dems said was impossible and they are still filled with hate. There is a large percentage of the country that will hate Trump no matter what he does. The good news is those people are a bunch of losers and are completely inconsequential. Watching them rant and rave would be entertaining if they weren't so violent.
Don't let facts get in your way hotcakes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction By 2002, the United States believed North Korea was pursuing both uranium enrichment technology and plutonium reprocessing technologies in defiance of the Agreed Framework. North Korea reportedly told American diplomats in private that they were in possession of nuclear weapons, citing American failures to uphold their own end of the "Agreed Framework" as a motivating force. North Korea later "clarified" that it did not possess weapons yet, but that it had "a right" to possess them, despite the Agreed Framework. In late 2002 and early 2003, North Korea began to take steps to eject International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors while re-routing spent fuel rods to be used for plutonium reprocessing for weapons purposes. As late as the end of 2003, North Korea claimed that it would freeze its nuclear program in exchange for additional American concessions, but a final agreement was not reached. North Korea withdrew from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 2003. 2006 See also: 2006 North Korean nuclear test On October 9, 2006, North Korea demonstrated its nuclear capabilities with its first underground nuclear test, detonating a plutonium based device[62] and the estimated yield was 0.2–1 kiloton.[32] The test was conducted at P'unggye-yok, and U.S. intelligence officials later announced that analysis of radioactive debris in air samples collected a few days after the test confirmed that the blast had taken place.[62] The UN Security Council condemned the test in Resolution 1874.

The author of this article seems right on the mark. North Korea has to know the U.S. would not be willing to risk a boody nose themselves. If the U.S. launches an attack and the mainland or Hawaii gets nuked, the Republicans are probably done politically for generations. South Korea and Japan would probably face huge uprisings if they were to get hit by a North Korean nuke. This could ultimately have severe implications for our diplomatic relations with these countries and the nearest base for our forces might end up being Hawaii if Guam no longer existed. Our military presence in the region may cease and North Korea with China’s help may overrun South Korea. China may the new U.S. military position to bring Taiwan under their wing as well. This is assuming the big boys, including Russia, China, and the U.S. don’t really get pissed off at each other. Obviously, if they do get pissed off, we could see some REAL fireworks. All things considered, it appears North Korea has permanently won its sovereignty. It appears time for the U.S. to recognize this.
