Who’s up for some advice on North Korea from Ben ‘Iran Deal’ Rhodes?
It was no surprise that politicians and pundits scrambled Tuesday afternoon after President Trump promised to meet further threats from North Korea with “fire, fury, and frankly, power.” Still, it’s always surprising to see how quickly alumni from the Obama administration emerge from the woodwork to throw in their two cents on the mess they left behind.
Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser for strategic communications under Barack Obama, is always on hand to lend his expertise, and Tuesday was no exception. Rhodes, the “storyteller” credited with strategizing and running the Iran deal messaging campaign, certainly knows a thing or two about hostile foreign powers with an eye on building nuclear arsenals.
US should pursue diplomacy for interim understanding that limits NK nuke and missile program in exchange for limited steps by US + partners

OK, thanks. We’ll be in touch.
The guy who helped orchestrate the terrible Iran Nuclear deal is lecturing us on North Korea. No thanks dude.

It's like, I actually think you can't get more insufferable. Or wrong. And then you do. https://t.co/b4CtZUWhyQ

You should aim for an interim understanding that you seldom have a good idea. https://t.co/6iGzTNwAGI

This clown wants to pursue literally the same policy that is the reason we are in the position we are in w/ NK having nukes. https://t.co/CU4QWwNWg2

The man who spun lies for the Iran nuclear deal is lecturing us on Noth Korea. You really are a joke @brhodes https://t.co/GVWIJN8BiR

You and Obama had the ball and dropped it on Trump, now you want to make stupid comments about making deals like the one you made with Iran

You think just throwing billions of dollars at them will help? https://t.co/LreZHOM3pV

Then send them a pallet of cash and create an echo chamber to convince people it's a good idea. https://t.co/3a31QOoayN
