I've not heard that statement before.

No I do not. I think the danger is he sells a warhead to any number of groups that would love to stick it to the Great Satan while he sits back and laughs about it.

The other step that the USA could do is put sanctions on China and engage in a trade war. This would hurt both China and the USA economically but China might consider North Korea a liability that they don't want around anymore. Almost all imports and exports from North Korea go through China.

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
