That is the sentiment that we normally associate with Noam Chomsky and the hard left that try to explain away and rationalize the horrors of these Stalinists like Kim Jong Un. So as a general rule I don&apost really like that kind of thing, and of course it would be great if you got a deal that got rid of nuclear, and I&aposm not saying you don&apost do diplomacy, but I don&apost think that Trump needed to go as far as he did in his flattery.
