Something like this. Everything we've done before has got us to this point. No one yet has tried what Trump is trying. Either it works, or it doesn't. But it will likely bring it to a resolution one way or another. An unfavorable outcome for us is possible, but it would involve an unimaginably unfavorable outcome for the Norks and their host-state of China. So it's a win, or a crappy win for us. Continued appeasement and can-kicking will get us a future that isn't near as clear cut.
