North Korea's nuclear weapons. We kicked the can down the road on this issue for 16 years through two complete administrations(both Democrat and Republican), and the result is a North Korea that is miniaturizing a working nuclear weapon design (apparently with the help of someone) and a rocket program to put them on a course for Japan or the west coast of the US.

Mutually Assured Destruction MAD the policy that kept the balance between the US and USSR though the cold war, does not work for an unstable regime like North Korea that is so unstable it could unravel at any moment. It seems something is about to burst here.

I think he conquered this when he was 15-16. Although its difficult to completly conceal it.

"So what about blushing? What is its relation to the truth? Well, blushing indicates a failed attempt to hide the truth."

Thats why he uses the orange paint on his face. Its to conceal blushing.

That is a given. In my working life I've seen business leaders CEO/Execs/VP that that had "relationship with the truth" issues and they never ended well. I'm very worried.
