I understand that Trump has zero foreign policy experience, but we've been here before - a dozen times. In the past we have had discussions, eased sanctions, and they would continue with the testing and their missile program.

What in the world makes anyone think that Kim wants to be like Vietnam? Kim's only goal is to stay in power.
