Johnny Come Lately Again

After many years of applauding Obama's feckless policy of "strategic patience", the shameless Demonrat amnesiacs are suddenly toughening their stance against N. Korea. 

With respect to the upcoming NOKO-Trump summit--and revealing a dramatic shift in their long-standing policy of appeasing America's enemies--the Demonrat "leaders" in the Senate have signed a letter warning Trump to adhere to these five rigidly pro-American demands:

1. The deal must include the dismantlement and removal of all nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons from North Korea.
2. The U.S. must ensure a “complete and verifiable denuclearization of North Korea,” removing all items related to nuclear-weapons production to prevent the country from reversing course.
3. North Korea must end its ballistic-missile program as well.
4. North Korea must comply with “anywhere, anytime” inspections to ensure it is not cheating on the deal, and sanctions must be immediately restored if it does cheat.
5. The deal must be permanent.

Gee. When did the Demonrats suddenly find a more principled and tougher pro-American foreign policy stance? When Trump became President. That's when. (Pity their new-found realism didn't apply to Iran as well.) 

For Demonrats, it's ALWAYS about politics and NEVER EVER about national security. That said, it's not surprising that their "five demands" mirror that of Trump's. (Nothing changes with the Progressive playbook: if you can't beat 'em, join 'em and hope for their failure. Same ol' tired Demonrat political gamesmanship--fair weather patriots at best, quislings at worst.)
