    What? This is a perfect example as to why U.S. foreign policy should not be done over twitter...

    You may have missed they also have a "high" rating for fact. Everyone aleady knows that facts have a left center bias.

    Nice ploy by Trump, he looks like he’s going to bat for Kim while giving him a chance to reconsider.

    While publicly embarrassing your own. But no, it's bad cop, good cop like in the movie, right?

    He was extremely honest about his opinions.

    If NK and USA sit down again, I wonder if they would now understand each other. Or more precisely, if the US understands what NK wants.

    Read this again to understand the gap. It's funny and sad how much NK is begging the US to have a clear understanding of their ask.

    His tweet wasn’t ambiguous. He said sanction announced “today”. The POTUS is just often rogue and wrong.

    It's called building a relationship...and negotiating. Making concessions is a good way to move toward peace. Now it is North Korea's turn and they know it.

    No, it isn't. That's a weak way to get taken. You offer the promise of making concessions if they make steps towards the changes you desire. That way it's N. Korea's turn and they know it.

    Now N. Korea continues to have not given up anything, made any progress towards a humanitarian way of governing, and they don't have to because they will be able to get around the current sanctions.

    Trump got played... AGAIN.

    Giving something away for nothing is not the way to build a relationship with the dictator who already played Trump previously and hasn't done anything he said he would. It is a way to come out looking weak and lessen your standing in the dictator's eyes.
