    There’s a false equivalence here. NK is much more tense and consequential based on it’s proximity to russia and china

    If the US would start bombing North Korea, China would take an interest. That is far higher risk than Iran which has no big allies that could do more than inconvenience the US.

    Allies? Trump doesn’t have alliances, he has people who say whatever it takes to keep him on side and people who say truths he doesn’t want to hear.

    Hence Kim Jong Un turned trump into a supporter by stroking his ego.
