Stephen Bosworth, a former U.S. special envoy to North Korea, on Tuesday accused Pyongyang of thinking the international community is obliged to aid the impoverished regime. | Bosworth is an Obama shill who from day one has said that the only solution to North Korea is 'engagement', which means we are supposed to swallow the Nork codswollop and give them food. |
Turning the South Korea-U.S. alliance, Bosworth said if the U.S. has been in the driver's seat until now, it is time for South Korea to take the wheel. South Korea must make the key decisions about what is to be done in the North Korean nuclear issue.
"I don't think it is feasible or appropriate or useful to try to increase deterrence or decrease deterrence depending upon the general state of affairs in the short term," he said in a lecture. "I think the most important element of deterrence is fundamental solidarity of purpose between the U.S. and South Korea. And that you can't turn on and off. If we are confident about deterrence... our political leaders will have a little bit more flexibility to think about engagement."
