    Your level of extremism makes the alt right look like saints.

    And no left wing partisan outlet even attempted to cover the study.

    Classic leftie non answer. That is why your side got swamped in landslide election losses from 2010-2016.

    If N.Korea was to denuclearize, I would be in favor of it.

    I wouldn't care who got the credit (whether it was Trump, The Joker, Harley Quinn, Bigfoot, or the Man in the Moon).

    But, FIRST, it has to happen (before we start giving "credit").:salute:

    That word doesn't mean what you think it means. The cleanest, most sustainable source of energy is nuclear, guess how much restrictions are on building a new plant like that there is. Both wind and solar are a net loss in energy production compared to what goes into creating the devices to harness those energies. There is also more pollution to create solar panels than they save. There is also less materials for those devices than fossil fuels. But don't let facts get in the way of arguing with your feelings.

    I am questioning your thinking that Bush bombed the Taliban out of Afghanistan.

    It was a point that engaging with a tyrannical regime some how is the only way they get legitimized.

    It was a joke. Obviously the chance of a nuclear disaster is preferable.

    Actually, the Repubs made gains from a combination of gerrymandering, the backlash to the ACA, largely inspired by fear mongering over non-existent "death panels," and the ridiculous ruse "the government is taking over health care," and the 24/7 misinformation machine that is conservative media.

    That's twisted media propaganda causing dems to avoid making real changes like moving toward the center.

    Clinton used the same crap. She largely cited these factors for her defeat:
    - Russia. "A foreign power meddled with our election," she said, labeling it "an act of aggression." She called for an independent, bipartisan investigation into the Kremlin's involvement and said the probe should examine whether there was collusion with the Trump campaign.
    - Misogyny. "Certainly, misogyny played a role. That has to be admitted," she said. Clinton added that "some people — women included — had real problems" with the idea of a woman president.
    - Comey. Clinton cited as damaging to her campaign his unusual decision to release of a letter on October 28, less than two weeks before Election Day, that said he was looking at additional emails related to the FBI probe of the former secretary of state's use of a private server.
    - WikiLeaks. Weeks of disclosures of stolen emails from the personal account of then-Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, were particularly harmful, Clinton said, adding that it "played a much bigger role than I think many people yet understand."


    It's BS and excuses. Clinton is the real reason Clinton lost the 2016 election.

    But..........you realize it's the Repubs who have moved to the extreme Right, right? They have changed to hard line positions on everything from immigration to gun control to healthcare to the environment.

    The repubs are the same policies that they stood for under Reagan. The left wants unfettered immigration now, universal health care, and same rules for guns as the founders intended. After making concessions for decades, the left has shown what their true colors are, full socialism.

    If anything, the mainstream GOP has moved left and, in terms of policy, mimics the Democrats of 35 years ago.

    Drumpf's election is already a sign of failure on the parts of millions to keep themselves informed.

    What does all of that have to do with the fact that Kim Jong-un is leading Trump around by the nose? Why are you still fighting the campaign. Don't you know that the election is long over and Donald Trump is now responsible for our problems? Are you stuck in a time warp back in 2016?

    Not really. Sorry, there aren't many one word answers in international adult land. At this juncture we don't know where this is going. Way too much to sort out and it will take a while. The relationships are constantly in flux and need to stabilize before anything substantive happens. As to your rather simplistic question, it depends on the ultimate outcome of "success" or "failure". Fail and we retain the status quo except there is no status quo. Succeed? Define success.

    A good candidate is the NPT.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_on_the_Non-Proliferation_of_Nuclear_Weapons

    Is the NP part more important or is the T part more important?


    Treaty:

    noun, plural treaties.

    1.a formal agreement between two or more states in reference topeace, alliance, commerce, or other international relations.

    2.the formal document embodying such an international agreement.

    3.any agreement or compact.
