Wait.  Suddenly I'm very confused.  I must have missed that memo.
Don't Boomers already recognize those countries?

Not As Legitimate Governments. During the 2013 North Korean Tensions regarding the Missile test. It was Mentioned that north Korea sent Messages to the embassies in their Countries Saying they Couldn't protect the diplomats there, basically as a threat to the US. I was surprised to Learn That Britain had an embassy there, I think France also Has one as well. The US however never does that kind of Diplomacy, the US has historically had a hard time having relations with overt enemies and/or countries with which we fought a war against but did not achieve a complete regime change of the former enemy state.
