What is the "25 Years" reference with regard to N Korea?

[hexola]

What is he referring to? What happened 25 years ago?

1. The 1992 Nuclear Accord

Where North and South Korea signed an agreement to keep the peninsula free from nuclear weapons, which he later "nullified".

2. Clinton's 1994 deal with North Korea giving energy aid?

It was a different world and a different leader on both sides then. The idea was that if NK improved their economy and means of production, they'd turn just as the Russians and the Chinese were doing. It worked for a while, but Kim II was crazy, and Kim III is even crazier.

4. It was W's inclusion of NK in the "Axis of Evil" that totally pissed then off.

We have David Frum to thank for that - he wrote that speech.

Anyway, Kim II took great exception to being included in the "Axis of Evil" and said "Fuck you, and your nuclear agreement, too."

And that was the end of the hard-fought nuclear agreement negotiated by the Bill Clinton administration.
