You can thank Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton for North Korea’s nukes
By Post Editorial Board   January 6, 2016

North Korea’s boast that it just detonated its first hydrogen bomb met instant doubts from the White House and arms experts. If they’re right, Pyongyang “only” has plain-old atomic bombs. What a . . . relief?

But, as one Chinese expert told The Wall Street Journal, the H-bomb claim still shows that tyrant Kim Jong-un is “marching in that direction.”

For all this, thank Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. North Korea couldn’t have done it without their gullibility.

Back in 1994, President Clinton prepared to confront North Korea over CIA reports it had built nuclear warheads and its subsequent threats to engulf Japan and South Korea in “a sea of fire.”

Enter self-appointed peacemaker Carter: The ex-prez scurried off to Pyongyang and negotiated a sellout deal that gave North Korea two new reactors and $5 billion in aid in return for a promise to quit seeking nukes.

A lot of the tasks that Trump needs to take on, are cleanup of messes from his predecessors.

Opposing him: virtually every democrat, most of the media, many Republicans who have stakes in the status-quo.

  Here's a Toast to President Trump, hoping he can fix this CF without killing us all (or giving away Taiwan and the South China Sea).



No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

And when he's done, he'll have done just like his predecessors and made a net contribution of a few additional problems that his successors will have to deal with. 

He's already blown it on Obamacare, so he's well on his way to not fixing any of the problems his predecessors created.
