That’s the New York Times headline this morning. It was always likelier that we were heading to a negotiation with the North rather than military conflict, despite the “who has a bigger button” bluster. The North’s strategy is to make nuclear gains and then come back to the West for another round of economic concessions. Resisting going down this well-worn path will be easier said than done, especially given that the Trump administration hasn’t truly forged a strategic departure from the approach of past administrations of both parties.
