Bolton trots out Libya as a model for how to deal with a nuclear North Korea.

[applegrove]

Is he trying to scuttle negotiations? Why else would he say this out loud?

1. This Libya? The one Kim uses as an example of US backstabbing?

Leaders of North and South Korea agreed to "complete denuclearization" on the Korean Peninsula Friday
Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un are expected to meet in the coming weeks

(CNN)The White House is looking at Libya as one example of how it will handle potential negotiations with North Korea on dismantling its nuclear program, John Bolton, US President Donald Trump's national security adviser, said Sunday.
But experts say the Libya model is a dangerous one to trot out when discussing North Korea.

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi agreed to abandon his nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief in the early 2000s. Within years, Gadhafi was overthrown and killed by rebels backed by Washington.

Analysts who study North Korea say Pyongyang often cites Gadhafi's case to show that only nuclear weapons can deter the United States in the long-term to ensure the survival of the Kim Jong Un regime.

2. Fuck Bolton, he is a madman and a clear and present danger to global stability.

Libya is one of the biggest shitstains in the history of US foreign policy.

Fuck Trump for letting Bolton within 10,000 leagues of policy-affecting power.

Our statecraft and militarism under this administration is a goddamn horrorshow.
