Nikki Haley, the U. S. ambassador to the United Nations, was quoted in the Sept. 12 news article “ U. N. agrees to toughest-ever sanctions against N. Korea ” as proclaiming, “If North Korea does not halt its nuclear program, we will act to stop it ourselves.” Really? How?
Assuredly, there’s near-unanimous agreement that a North Korean nuclear arsenal is a dismal prospect. But stopping North Korea’s program, or achieving outright denuclearization, isn’ t in the cards. Gambits such as ever-tighter sanctions, entreaties to China, throttling the technology spigot and threats of “ fire and fury ” have languished.
