Trump said:

Well, the Libyan model isn’t a model that we have at all when we’re thinking of North Korea. In Libya, we decimated that country. That country was decimated. There was no deal to keep Gadhafi. The Libyan model that was mentioned was a much different deal. This would be with Kim Jong-un, something where he’d be there, he’d be in his country, he’d be running his country. His country would be very rich. His people are tremendously industrious. If you look at South Korea, this would really be a South Korean model in terms of their industry, in terms of what they do. They’re hard-working, incredible people.

But the Libyan model was a much different model. We decimated that country. We never said to Gadhafi, oh, we’re going to give you protection, we’re going to give you military strength, we’re going to give you all of these things. We went in and decimated him. And we did the same thing with Iraq. Now whether should have, I could tell you, I was against it from the beginning. Because look what we have right now. We spent $7 trillion — can you believe that? $7 trillion in the Middle East right out the window. You might as well throw the money right out the window. And we’ve done a lot of infrastructure. We just had airports approved. You saw that. A lot of things are happening. But we spent $7 trillion in the Middle East. And look where we are right now. It is pretty sad. But the model, if you look at that model with Gadhafi, that was a total decimation. We went in there to beat him. Now, that model would take place if we don’t make a deal, most likely. But if we make a deal, I think Kim Jong-un is going to be very, very happy. I really believe he is going to be very happy.

Trump was threatening war with North Korea

Trump is trying to threaten Kim Jong-un into making a deal. However, Kim won’t fall for the dime store Don’s tactics, because it is a transparently empty bluff. The regime knows that they could launch an attack on South Korea in minutes, and they are also well aware that Trump does not want a hot war in Korea. The talk of Nobel Peace Prizes is smoke. Trump is trying to thug his way into a win in North Korea, and if he doesn’t get what he wants, he is looking at the military action that will be an American nightmare.
