Ignore Putin. Putin becomes spiteful and advances his troops just to piss off the United States ? - Is that the Democratic solution ? - We know how Putin is. We know how Putin reacts. Putin also knows how the United States reacts too.

North Korea. Everyone in the world knows Kim Jong Un doesn't care what the world thinks or says. Kim Jong Un has his own agenda which includes his missile program.

Did the Democrats think a "Please, Kim, would you please stop your missile testing" or Threats from President Trump would actually work ? -
Ignore / continue sanctions against N. Korea and eventually one of N. Korea's missiles will be used for hostile purposes.
It wasn't that long ago Kim Jong Un stated Trump declared war on N. Korea. Nobody knows what or how Kim Jong Un is thinking or how he will react just to prove a point.
To remain enemies with N. Korea and Russia is nothing short of looking for World War III.

In real life, if you're constantly getting your ass kicked and embarrassed on a daily basis, you do your best to try and stop it. Only a fool would continue matching hostilities especially on the world stage where every other country is watching.

As in my #1 and #7 post in this thread, positive results came from both meetings with Putin and Kim Jong Un.

The Democratic / some outsider Republicans chose to focus on Trump brushing off our intelligence agency's during the post Trump / Putin meeting while not one positive remark of what was accomplished - and that is future world peace with two of the most hostile and unpredictable countries in the world.
