ADVERTISEMENTThe Constitution's foreign policy of invincible self-defense (with no "indispensable nation" braggadocio) should inform our strategy to cut the Gordian knot to ending North Korea's nuclear adventurism. The United States policy of invincible self-defense means no more courageous Captain Humayun Khans sent abroad to die for self-interested strangers without a crumb of allegiance to the United States. China has no more inherent interest in North Korea's possession of nuclear weapons than we have in a nuclear-armed Mexico or Canada. Expanding the number of nuclear weapons states by adding Japan and South Korea but subtracting North Korea would be worrisome but justifiable. Last week, North Korea conducted its fifth and most powerful nuclear test--ending any doubt that it has mastered the fundamentals of detonating nuclear weapons.
