Yes, there was no ability to deliver a nuke in 2006 - when they first tested one. But you have to have a nuke to deliver; chicken/egg. But before Bush it was Clinton, because they didn't just pluck a nuke out of thin air in 2006. And before him is was Bush Sr. and Reagan before him. Sans coup d'état, there rarely is a single event that turns a country on a sixpence. There have been multiple Presidents, and multiple Crazy Kims, who have been in office while this was developing.

Viable nuclear weapons were developed by the Soviets under the watches of Churchill and Truman. It is unarguable. Exactly the same as what you are saying about Obama and NKorea.

I say this not to wish any harm on you or your kids; I say this to highlight the myopia (your favourite word of the day) of your world view. Everyone else somehow has to sacrifice for the very specific wellbeing of you and your family. That's hardly a practical global strategy, especially as you criticized Obama for being too hands on with the US military in the fight against ISIS. Imagine if they had to ask you what you wanted every time a general had a drone up and ISIS leaders in its sights? What if that happened during a Palace match?
