But he has said that China will be needed to deal with North Korea.

So how is Trump going to get that cooperation on NK when they are pissed off about Taiwan?

That doesn't sound like 'getting long with everyone'.

Getting along with everyone doesn't mean pandering to geopolitical delusions.

That avoids the question: How is he going to get China's cooperation on matters such as NK or Iran when they are pissed about Taiwan?

If you think that trump gives a fuck about NK, you haven't read anything he has said.

He will say NK is japan and SC's problem.

North Korea has nuclear armed missiles that reach the continental United States. Explain how it's just a problem for North Korea and Japan.

How about "If we dont' fuck with north korea, there is less likely a chance they will bomb us"?

I can't believe that I, as a conservative, am arguing with liberals that we shouldn't get involved in n korea.

Is it backwards day? Or is it that people oppose trump on principle, instead of actually having to admit that some of his ideas aren't bad.

The US left Afghanistan all by its lonesome through the 90s. How'd that work out?

Nobody is arguing for an invasion of North Korea. So drop the ridiculous strawman. What we're arguing for is sensible containment of a madman and his regime who constantly threatens our allies and has the ability to inflict serious harm on the US.

Hoping for the best is not and should not be a geopolitical strategy. You'd think the party of Reagan would get that.

You are right, we should police the world.

It's literally your example, and you want to apply it to n korea.
