The strategy of the US toward North Korea under Bush and Obama was to antagonize their leadership, impose sanctions, and rebuild the US nuclear arsenal. We shouldn't pretend that it's the dumb TV show host's fault for tweeting out the explicit policy.

Kennedy was drunk and/or knocked out on a custom drug cocktail for most of that. We only got through it because he really wasn't capable of any sort of decisive action and spent most of the meetings letting his brother argue with LeMay while they waited for the teletype to spin up.

Not ideal, but probably better than if LBJ or Nixon had been in charge at that moment.

Yeah, but him holding back on doing anything was a deliberate decision because he wasn't sure how much to trust his generals and advisors, and afterwards he realized that they were completely unreliable *and* he didn't know enough about the situations so he was being led around by his ear, and resolved to read up as much as possible on factors for future situations so he wouldn't be completely reliant on outsiders to make decisions

I agree if it had been someone else they would have gone ahead and attacked and things would be real awful

This is another scenario where I think we would be looking to state governors / city mayors to handle stuff, much like when Trump pulled out of Paris the states/cities stepped in to say they'd be doing it anyway

In this specific case, mostly George W Bush's. One of the few successful achievements of the Clinton administration was detente with NK leading toward disarmament.

True, I just can't be sure how much of that was strategy versus being stoned out of his mind of booze and pills. Still, the US has done better with indecisive leadership like Kennedy, Obama, and (at times) Nixon, than decisive leadership under LBJ, Bush, or (at times) Nixon.

At least 12 greyhound racing dogs in Florida have tested positive for cocaine, and their trainer has had his license suspended.

It's at least the second instance this year of racing greyhounds testing positive for cocaine. The dogs raced at Bestbet Orange Park in northeast Florida near Jacksonville. The state is home to 12 of the 19 dog tracks in the U.S., where 40 states have outlawed the sport.

Although supporters say the dogs are treated well, the industry faces intense scrutiny. Records show Florida's greyhound industry has had 62 cocaine positives since 2008.

In the Jacksonville area case, first reported by WTLV-TV, the dogs tested positive in March and April for benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine, according to documents from the state Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The documents are dated June 9 and say that trainer Charles McClellan "is a threat to animals in his control, custody and care."

The Associated Press could not locate a phone number or email address for McClellan, but he told the TV station he had lost his job as a Greyhound trainer. The agency has scheduled a formal hearing on his case for Aug. 23.

In a statement to news outlets, Bestbet Orange Park said it supports the swift action taken by the state in suspending the trainer's license. During March and April, McClellan was an employee of the Steve Sarras Kennel.
