Hillary Clinton has warned that the Trump administration "was not recognizing the danger" in discussing nuclear disarmament with Pyongyang, and said Washington lacked experienced diplomats to handle the talks.
"If you want to talk to Kim Jong Un about his nuclear weapons you need experienced diplomats," Clinton was quoted as telling Dutch tabloid Algemeen Dagblad in an interview published on Saturday.
"These are people familiar with the dossiers and who know the North Koreans and their language," Trump's presidential rival said in an interview conducted in Amsterdam and published in Dutch.
The former secretary of state said, however, that the U.S. State Department was "being eroded" and that experienced diplomats on the North Korean issue were in short supply, with many having left.
"You cannot have diplomacy without diplomats," she said, adding "the danger is not being recognized by the Trump government."
Clinton's words echo those of Bill Richardson, veteran diplomat and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. He warned that negotiating with North Korea was not "reality television."

But this is too important, all life on the planet hangs in the balance.
Trump must be removed, pence must be imprisoned along with McConnell and Ryan and the rest and patriots must be put in place of them so we can avoid total annihilation.

(6,288 posts)So far N Korea & Russia are his bffs.
His agenda in this stupidity is completely self serving.
Thank You HRC.
Say it to the world.
To all our allies.
Trump is stupidly dangerous to the world
Hillary feels it's too important to stay silent.

(6,288 posts)We proudly gave her to the people of this country to govern us & protect America & from the very threat we are staring at today.
She was the only one in the race who knew foreign policy and how to maneuver against those who threaten us & our allies.
Globally, Hillary would be a masterful leader for the good vs evil constant watch by our own Intel & that of our allies.
And what did this country choose over Sec Clinton?
Ignorance sold the country & the world down the river.
Money & Media moved the message elsewhere for the horror show we have right now.
Sec Clinton was admired throughout the world as a leader & on her policy against adversaries.
The smug satisfaction of such a massive effort to stop her rings clear in their end game.
We all live with the result of such blatant & unforgiveable, self-serving & petty ignorance, for generations to come.
Sec Clinton stands up to again speak to the world.

(12,582 posts)the thought of Trump not understanding how badly he's been taken advantage of during the negotiations. Just showing up on North Koren soil does irreparable damage to the global balance of power, which is based on keeping Kim isolated and contained. Getting the same stature as the President of the United States has been a longtime goal of this dictatorial regime.
All Kim has to do is put on one of his super military parades for Trump, and Donnie Two Scoops will be lapping out of his hands--and trying to figure out how to make his own ego parade even more spectacular. After all, what's a couple of streets destroyed by 60 ton tank treads if it gives him a chubby?
And as a reminder: If he gets his parade this year he'll want a bigger one next year.

(1,399 posts)Hillary is right. We do need experienced diplomats to handle these kinds of negotiations and Trump has driven off the best and the brightest from the State Department.
I would also like to hear whether she has any ideas about what our substantive position should be during those negotiations. It's obvious to anyone that the evisceration of the State Department puts us in a bad position, but someone with Clinton's expertise can also point us in the right direction.
At times like this, it's great we have someone on our side who can talk policy like no one else.

(6,288 posts)It was all in her meticulously written platform.
Those who set out to stop her as leader of this great nation, all had the same agenda.
The coup was a massive effort & they now have what they set out to acheive.
She tried to warn us all.
She still is out there today speaking her warning to the world.
After the way she was treated here at home, she doesn't owe a thing to America. Yet here she is, because she loves this country more than many who speak against her.

(1,399 posts)Seeing those campaign ads setting out her foreign policy vision.
Coming from someone with her expertise, you had to have not even seen those campaign ads or wilfully ignored them to not know she was in another league from the monstrosity we have now.
Which was your favorite?
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)She made far too many speeches that hit home to consider one a fav.
She has years of policy & points vital to the fair existance of every person & place on the planet where the call was a warning.
