Historic North Korea/South Korea Meeting - Trump Peace Prize?

It's like they're having a clown decathlon in the White House. Neck and neck btwn Rudy, Dennison, Pruitt, and Sanders.

 

Many of us are on record and are very happy at the signs of thawing. Kim has done this kind of dance before, so we've also cautioned that we can't overreact. Can you tell us why Rudy is now saying publicly humiliating things about Kim Jong Un? How is that going to help anything?

But yes, GOOD for Dennison if we can make real progress on the Korean peninsula. Would also like him to improve our damaged relations with long-time allies like Canada, and the EU -- not sure why those much more important relations are being set on fire.

 

It was a good day for Trump, and overall the North Korea situation has been a positive situation.

I question how good it is, from a geo-political standpoint, because it legitimizes the North Korea government. Then again, the last thing we want is a revolution in North Korea and the possible non-stability that could cause and friction with China and the concerns of South Korea.

Ultimately this is coming down to politics........ if Obama had done this, Democrats would laud him and Republicans would be grilling him.

The political landscape in the USA has become to partisan.

Were you celebrating Obama when he opened up negotiations with Cuba or were you criticizing him?

This doesn't just go for you....... this goes for everyone wear their partisan hat on this issue.

 

I'm sure I'm in the minority for my stance:

- I want talk with NK. BTW, this was traditional a no no for GOP. Don't talk to crazy dictators and government.
- I don't think NK need to give up it's nuke. It's unrealistic that they would. But they need to stop progressing and they do need to give up some abilities (for the US, long range strike). No more test, no more advancement, no sharing of their knowledge to Iran and others, .... constant monitoring and inspection...
- End the war officially
- Have NK join the world, open up trades, open up relations
- NK actually give up nukes and the US pull out of Korea


What do we have now? NOTHING. No result yet. We seen this before. It's NOT the first time the two sides talk and hugs. It's not the first time NK talk with the US.

What do I expect. Complete failure. Not just this Admin, the Dem, and nearly everyone else expect NK to give up nuke completely. Not going to happen, not without the US completely gone from that region, which isn't going to happen either.

 

I don't agree. If Obama had done this, you are right, the GOP would grill him and the GOP followers would grill him.

Now that Trump IS trying to do this, we don't have nearly that type of reactions from the left. It's more of a cautious stance. It's not a this is fking nut crazy stupid dangerous unpatriotic thing.

But we do get to make fun of the craziness. Don't mistake that for wanting failure.

 

SK leader went to NK in 2001 or sometime around that. They met and shown much happiness before.

If nothing else happen since.. you think we got something? No, we got nothing.

Don't get me wrong, it's good progress and is the first step to the next 10000 steps. But we need real results... this isn't just a photo op. The real negotiation and actual implementation are HARD and difficult.

 

I think Rebecca Ballhaus is the name Stormy Daniels should have gone with.

 

What tangible things has he accomplished with respect to having foreign governments bend to his will? He pulls the USA out of existing agreements and says he is willing to renegotiate, but where are the results? I keep reading what might happen, but until things actually happen, I don’t see governments bending to his will.

 

I'm sure you were thanking Obama the past nine years

 

And btw, wage growth actually dropped in April.

 

That wasn’t the question I asked. My question was to the poster who said Trump was renegotiating all those deals and having foreign governments ‘bend to his will’.

 

Where the hell are you getting these statistics? What a joke.

 

Hahahahaha.... Fox News Propaganda

 

Much better to "wing it"... what possibly could go wrong? Worst case, he can call Dennis Rodman or Sean Hannity into the room...

Trump and Bolton spurn top-level North Korea planning
After two months on the job, Trump’s new national security adviser has not called a single top-level National Security Council meeting on North Korea.

Why

Why would they prepare when Rodman has already handled everything?
