Richard Haass: ‘We’re Now Defining Diplomatic Success Down’

‘We’re never going to get to where we want to’

EXCERPT:

HAASS: "OK, but let’s take him by his own merits. John was pointing out Trump said just judge me by the results. Well let’s look at the results in North Korea. What are the results?"
SCARBOROUGH: "A lot more nukes."
HAASS: "The answer is they continue to build — remember Pat Moynihan’s statement that we’re defining deviancy down? We’re now defining diplomatic success down. So North Korea will every now and then close this site, do that, but guess what? There is zero chance their denuclearizing and we have a problem.”
