North Korea is led by people too irrational for containment to work

NY Times:

Talk of ‘Preventive War’ Rises Over North Korea Issue

In a departure from their predecessors, some in the Trump administration have surmised that Cold War-style containment will not work and that a military option is available.
If you are going to contain North Korea and Iran it will likely take military action to do it.  Neither are led by rational actors.  Iran is led by genocidal religious bigots and North Korea is led by a paranoid cult of personality.  Allowing either of them to have nuclear weapons is like handing a butchers knife to a toddler.  Bad things are certain to happen in those cases.

Both of these countries are much closer to having nuclear weapons than they were when Obama came into office.  He actively aided Iran on the path to nuclear weapons and gave them resources to fund their terror operations while he sat on information that North Korea was able to put a nuclear weapon on an ICBM.
