"That is funny. And how do we hold his feet to the fire? Arguably only China can do that."

We have done it in the past, Brumar.

But, ok. You think voiding the treaty, making some idle threats and then ignoring the situation was the best course of events.

"When did the US successfully hold NK's feet to the fire?"

Umm, how many times have they invaded since the ceasefire? There have been attempts to broach the DMZ in various ways, and those attempts have always been shutdown.

Sure, there are always attempts to get around agreements. We are, after all, officially still at war. You expect a war opponent to not be all that trustworthy. It is the nature of war.

"Their announced reason doesn't make sense."

Sure it does.

"Iran thus has no civilian need to enrich uranium."

Of course they do. What you choose to ignore is that by not being able to enrich on their own, they are dependent on other countries to supply them. Do you think the US would hand over the supply of enriched uranium to Iran or Russia?
