At first glance, the growing tensions with North Korea may seem like a complex problem with no easy solutions. Sure, the U.S. could try more negotiations with Kim Jon Un’s regime, but how has that worked out so far? A military strike might seem like a viable path, but what will China do if we go that route?
At this point, it seems clear that North Korea is going to be the toughest international crisis for President Trump to navigate. However, there are some that don’t think it should be that complicated. In fact, former NBA star Dennis Rodman thinks that he should be given an opportunity to solve the problem.From The Blaze:
Good news on the North Korea situation: Dennis Rodman is doing his best to smooth things over.
The former basketball star recently shared details from his friendship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in an interview with “Good Morning Britain.” Glenn Beck and Stu Burguiere listened to the odd interview and analyzed the North Korean threat on Thursday’s “The Glenn Beck Radio Program.”
The solution, according to Rodman, is just to sit down and have a nice chat:“Just try to start some dialogue; I think that’ll open up doors just a little bit,” Rodman said, describing how he and Kim talk, laugh and sing karaoke together while ignoring politics. His solution for President Donald Trump was to have a conversation with Kim about their respective countries and histories.
Of course, it may be hard for the U.S. to have a talk that doesn’t involve politics, considering North Korea has one of the worst human rights records in the world. Additionally, it might be hard to ignore the fact that the rogue State is launching missiles over Japan. But sure, a karaoke session could certainly be the ticket to peaceful de-escalation on the peninsula.
Nevertheless, Rodman really believes he has the recipe to “straighten things out” between the U.S. and North Korea. Back here in the real world, we’re not holding our collective breath.[Note: This post was written by Michael Lee. Follow him on Twitter @UAMichaelLee]
