Forward on North Korea.
Is Trump Up to It?
The window is open,
briefly, for one last shot at sticks and carrots.
Persuading a dangerous
country to abandon its ambition for nuclear weapons is akin to a
two-horse race. In one lane is the adversary (say, North Korea)
galloping ahead as quickly as possible toward ever greater levels of
destructive capacity. In the other is the rest of the world (or
whatever coalition of responsible nations can be cobbled together),
using carrots and sticks to compel the adversary to slow, stop and
ultimately reverse its course.
