@maxdancona,
That wasn't working though.
Perhaps Mr. Trump's approach will fail just as badly. But when the current policy isn't working, it's generally a good idea to try something new.
Maybe we'll end up in a nuclear war no matter what we do.
Mr. Trump is going to fit our ICBMs with new more-powerful warheads (455kt and still light enough to MIRV), so we'll be well equipped for that eventuality as well.
