'While we're all watching Kim Jong Un's countdown clock, it's unclear how prepared the US is to respond to his New Year's resolution to wreak more havoc unless his demands are met.' Analysis by sam_vinograd

Samantha Vinograd is a CNN national security analyst. She is a senior adviser at the University of Delaware's Biden Institute, which is not affiliated with the Biden campaign. Vinograd served on President Barack Obama's National Security Council from 2009 to 2013 and at the Treasury Department under President George W. Bush. Follow her @sam_vinograd.

While Kim Jong Un may like hyperbole almost as much as President Donald Trump does, his regime's latest claim of successfully conducting"another crucial test" is a cause for serious concern as analysts determine exactly what transpired. North Korea has given US negotiators until the end of the year to make a breakthrough in nuclear negotiations -- by which it means giving into Kim's demands that the US give North Korea what it wants, like sanctions relief.Kim's extortion campaign is probably premised on his assessment that President Trump will do anything to hold onto his love affair with Kim -- no matter how blatantly Kim's cheating on it.

sam_vinograd Anything from CNN is a lie, so this is more propaganda.

sam_vinograd Blockade the country. NK is a danger to everyone in the region & everyone knows it. You feed his army & we are making him stronger. Starvation is the key to victory.

sam_vinograd Trump’s button is bigger

sam_vinograd In my opinion other G20 nations should be able to reduce or limit Kim Ju kun nuclear test as it threatens world peace.

sam_vinograd Do nothing like weve been doing for 20 years unless south korean, American, or japanese live are lost, thats one of the benefits of being a nuclear power as long as u dont start a nuclear war, there isnt much short of a nuclear war that can be done

sam_vinograd KJU ain't doing nothing without China's approval.

sam_vinograd In all honesty should prepare S. Korea evacuations and whup the lil fella. Holding his advantage over South Korean civilians while building a contending arsenal for the world in which he will attack anyway. Not rocket science

sam_vinograd I was gonna say something about how Obama vs Kim was very tense while Trump vs Kim is not but it's not worth it.

sam_vinograd Kim won't do anything.....he knows better.

sam_vinograd CNN is a straight joke!! This channel may be directly responsible for Trump's election and reelection! It's not a news network it's a soap opera, a sitcom full of biased, opinionated fact less, reckless, divisive rhetoric spewed by really bad actors!! It's really pathetic and

sam_vinograd its high time Kim junk un is send to saddam

sam_vinograd

sam_vinograd Probably a whiny, pleading tweet fest extolling his dictator crush on Kim and begging him not to interfere with the Russian election efforts in 2020. Trump's equivalent of strong words.

sam_vinograd Where is President Mattis when we need him? realDonaldTrump always needs an adult to watch over him, slow roll stupid actions, and develop practical contingency plans.

sam_vinograd

sam_vinograd TRUMP WIL KIK UR ASS AGAN HEHEHE HEH

sam_vinograd Not good idea... poking the bear

sam_vinograd Perhaps we can just be nicer to Kim and hope for the best 😊

sam_vinograd

sam_vinograd The real problem here is that Trumps failure to deal with Asia has many of our allies relying on China, which further strengthens them as a world power.

sam_vinograd Rocket man can never be trusted

sam_vinograd Look! I said before and I’m saying it again...point just two ships one for real in his direction and let’s just be done with his stupid ass! Former Soldier here.

sam_vinograd No sh!t.

sam_vinograd Trump would rather hold hands with that maniac. They've become good friends.

sam_vinograd Don’t worry guys, Trump has it all under control.

sam_vinograd Everything seems to be “unclear” to cnn

sam_vinograd This is worrisome.

sam_vinograd All talk, no action.

sam_vinograd 'Analysis by sam_vinograd' is equivalent to horse shit.

sam_vinograd It’s a serious and somber reminder that both of these world leaders are narcissistic sociopaths.

sam_vinograd The U S has Never been weaker! Thanks Donald!

sam_vinograd Because the Dnc is doing nothing but a coup attempt
