Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton spoke about North Korea after Pyongyang conducted its fifth and biggest nuclear test. The remarks put Clinton on record seeking a tougher line on North Korea than has been pursued by President Obama, whom she served as secretary of state. Three presidents, beginning with Bill Clinton, have sought without lasting success to prevent or curb nuclear ambitions by North Korea. "That is not something that North Korea or the Chinese or the Russians in the region are particularly pleased about, but what is the alternative?" "And although we have international sanctions against North Korea, some of which I helped to negotiate when I was there, they aren't enough, either."
