Like I wrote in the article, and as Nat’l Security Advisor John Bolton has stupidly reminded the world, our word ain’t worth spit. Libya and Iraq are both in every dictator and authoritarians mind. Iran has never agreed to stop its nuclear program and if they did I wouldn’t believe them. I don’t understand what about their behavior would lead anyone to believe that Iran will ever voluntarily cease exploring nuclear weapons.

None of this detracts from what you say, I just think pulling out of the Iran deal is much less important to Kim than many pundits and politicians suggest.
