Where Schumer is wrong is in his characterization of such efforts as weak. Like so many hawkish politicians, he confuses intelligent diplomacy for weakness. People like Schumer are completely one-dimensional in their thinking. In their mind, force or threats of force are the only form of strength. Such limited thinking has been holding the US back for decades. Americans need to stop listening to the Chuck Schumers and Lindsey Grahams.

    Nor did Trump give Lil Kim a timetable to break out like Obama did with Iran.

    Meanwhile NK's "conventional weapons" trained on SK remain a threat to SK and our soldiers. Remember in the long sad history of nukes de-escalation of tensions should be among the long term goals

    While the details of the respective agreements may be different, in a general sense they are very similar. They both represent a fairly radical departure from the hawkish conventional wisdom. In both instances, the president made concessions that previous presidents refused to even consider. But if you've been bashing Obama relentlessly, calling him weak, a sissy, a wimp, etc., then any comparison between him and Trump, no matter how reasonable, can be a tough pill to swallow.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.
