a_r:  Yeah, I just hate it when someone gets smarter. The situation in N. Korea is considerably more complex now than it has been for years. President Obama certainly had no solution so to complain that the current President does not either is nothing but political bias. The negotiations are those with the Chinese as there is nothing no negotiate with in N. Korea. Will President Trump be successful? Maybe, maybe not, too soon to tell. Was President Obama successful in resolving the issue - clearly no. That President Trump is allowing the Generals (you know the military professionals) provide options is what a President should do, don't you think?
