"North Korea is a real danger to this world, and we have got to do everything we can to ... prevent a nuclear war and to get them to stop their nuclear program," said Sanders, speaking with CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day."
"China has got to apply the screws and tell North Korea that if their economy is going to survive, they cannot continue expanding their nuclear arms program and their missile program," he added.
"China is, in fact, the key," Sanders continued. "People have been working on China for years. If Trump is doing that, he's doing the right thing."
The Trump administration's top diplomat, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, told National Public Radio on Thursday that the US would be willing to negotiate with Pyongyang, a statement at odds with recent comments to CNN by Vice President Mike Pence, who ruled out such a possibility in the near future.
It's a step other administrations have been reluctant to take, seeing it as an unwarranted reward for the regime's aggressive and belligerent behavior.
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
Sanders wife is being investigated by the FBI for fraud. Maybe he figures he should start to grease the skids now.....
Sanders never said trump is right to send 'an armada' to the region, leaving himself no out when N. Korea makes him look like the impotent old fool that he is. Sanders just agrees that diplomacy, or sanctions are the answer....as did Obama. China is in the best position to do so, but I don't see much hay being made.
I wonder what the over/under is on Seoul making it to 2020?
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

For the unaware .. Sanders is, has been, and always will be a war hawk.
His 'reputation' as some kind of peacenik is ridiculous.
Bernie Sanders Voting Record Antithetical To His Purported Anti-War Stance
In spite of claims of being antiwar, his “hawkish” support of Clinton’s military actions in the 1999 Kosovo War caused one of his advisers to quit. When antiwar activists occupied Sanders’ office in 1999 because of that support of Clinton’s war policies, he had them arrested.

AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.
there are really few good options in north korea. Its also complicated by the fact that the south koreans, japanese, and chinese are worth saving. I mean if the middle east goes up in flames who really cares? They were going to kill each other anyway this way they do it faster. The east asians could very well carry the flame of civilization in the future after the west has faded.
Which one made you realize you were sold out more:
1. Hillary's cheating Bernie out of the nomination
2. Obama giving big money speeches on Wall Street
3. Bernie being a war hawk

Sanders never had much of a grasp on foreign policy- except interventionism ( and that's big) -China has got to apply the screws and tell North Korea that if their economy is going to survive, they cannot continue expanding their nuclear arms program and their missile program," he added.
"China is, in fact, the key," Sanders continued. "People have been working on China for years. If Trump is doing that, he's doing the right thing."
but give him credit here for the obvious
