I've been watching for "lines" pretty close and have not seen them as lines, although there has been rhetoric regarding efforts to increase sanctions, which have been consistently increased to compel an adjustment of behavior. In my opinion that's follow up.
"We" don't know what substantive discussions have occurred with the Chinese, Russians, and South Koreans along with the other countries in the region before, during, and after Trumps' visit.
There is also a lot of difference between 8 years and 11 months. The recent "exercises" can very well be "mapping" activities and "probing" of electronic responses from NK to identify locations and potential response times with GPS readings to assure GPS guided munitions are "on target" and "effective" to quiet the source and the transmission of information to a "command center"!
"We" also do not know the depth and value of the "intelligence" information accumulated over the past 8 years (or even 24 years) while past administrations were doing nothing more than kicking the can down the road for the "next" one.
If Trump had jumped in with a shooting war without trying to amicably resolve the matter with sanctions, rhetoric, and regional political pressure then you'd be critical of him also. Unfortunately the "peace-niks" in this country have 20-20 hindsight.
Example: Gore's 1996 Aircraft Safety Report to the President as it relates to the "cost" of retrofitting commercial passenger airliners from "Government grants" in comparison to the first "check" written by Bush immediately post-911 and the economic costs to the country in the first 4-6 months, even putting aside the carnage and long-term expenditures.
Back to PX's ignorant, narcissistic, self-delusional thread topic.
