President Donald Trump\u2019s ongoing bromance with North Korea\u2019s dictator, Kim Jong Un, is literally putting the world at risk of nuclear war, at least according to one political analyst.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump and administration officials have taken to declaring that the economic sacrifices Americans are making for his war are patriotic gestures to ensure that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon \u2014 a pledge that had already been successfully obtained through the 2015 Iran nuclear deal negotiated under President Barack Obama, which Trump tore up upon taking office the first time, and then supposedly obtained again through the force of several bunker-buster bombs in 2025,\u201d wrote Salon’s Heather Digby Parton on Sunday. \u201cAccording to the polls, most Americans aren\u2019t buying that claim.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parton added, \u201cAt the same time, still sulking that U.S. allies didn\u2019t rush to jump into his Iran quagmire, Trump has decided to pick up where he left off in 2020 with his alleged good pal Kim Jong Un and punish America\u2019s longtime ally South Korea by canceling some military exercises after the country, in his words, \u2018refus[ed] to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran.\u2019 Anyone else would have seen how insensitive such a comment would be to a country that has been forced to stand by as the unhinged, totalitarian dictatorship to its north built up a nuclear arsenal aimed at them and their allies, all while the U.S. brayed about \u2018denuclearization.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

She then pointed out that, between North Korea’s first successful underground nuclear test in 2006 and the start of Trump\u2019s first term in 2017, \u201cthe country had enough fissile material for 60 weapons and they were rapidly developing a ballistic missile program. At first Trump did his usual insult-and-threat routine, and he then hit upon the idea that he could personally talk Kim out of the program. The famous bromance began.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cWhen Trump held his first summit with the North Korean leader, giving him the international prestige he had always wanted while getting nothing in return, the president was asked how long he thought it would take for North Korea to denuclearize. \u2018Well, I don\u2019t know, when you say a long time,\u2019 he said. \u2018I think we will do it as fast as it can be done scientifically, as fast as it can be done mechanically . . . It\u2019s a 15-year process. Assuming you wanted to do it quickly, I don\u2019t believe that . . . You\u2019re talking about a very complex subject. It\u2019s not just like, \u2018Oh, gee. Let\u2019s get rid of the nukes.\u2019\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately she concluded \u201cthere\u2019s a question historians will one day ask of this era: Who started the global nuclear arms race? The answer to that is complicated, but one name will always rise to the top of any list: Donald Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parton is not alone in condemning Trump\u2019s North Korea policy. Writing earlier this month for The Wall Street Journal, Trump\u2019s former national security adviser John Bolton said that \u201cTrump put North Korea and its rogue nuclear-weapons program back in the spotlight on Sunday. The president ordered the Defense Department \u2018to substantially reduce\u2019 this week\u2019s annual U.S.-South Korean military field exercises to defend against a potential attack by the North. He made the same unilateral concession in his first term, a mistake that is even worse now.\u201d<\/p>\n

As far back as 2019, experts have warned that Trump\u2019s attitude toward North Korea constitutes playing with fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was in North Korea [President] Kim Jong-il, the father of the current president there, said that he didn\u2019t have any problems with us having our troops in South Korea,\u201d Secretary of State Madeleine Albright told this journalist for Salon in 2019.<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cI do think that what is worrisome to me is, in an effort to be flattered by Kim Jong-un, that he gives away something that might have a longer term effect for the next administration.\u201d<\/p>\n
