National security adviser John Bolton said Sunday that the Trump administration is not naive when it comes to North Korea’s tendency to deviate from promises made to the U.S.
During an appearance with “Face the Nation” on CBS, Bolton brushed aside new reports that North Korea could be hiding portions of its nuclear program from the U.S., despite an agreement leader Kim Jong Un signed with President Trump last month stating an intent to completely denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.
“We’re very well aware of North Korea’s patterns of behavior over decades of negotiating with the United States. We know exactly what the risks are of them using negotiations to drag out the length of time they have to continue their nuclear, chemical, biological weapons programs, and ballistic missiles,” Bolton said, noting the administration could dismantle North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs “within a year” if Pyongyang allowed it.
“But there’s not any starry-eyed feeling among the group doing this that we’re well, well aware of what the North Koreans have done in the past,” Bolton said.

That staged fiasco with NK should be grounds for impeachment alone.
