    Would you prefer that we go to war with Iran rather than negotiate with that country? You do realize that it is a country, not a person, right? As you have no doubt noticed, I don't agree with every aspect of the President's foreign policy, particularly in that region, and it wouldn't surprise me terribly if Iran intends to violate the agreement. Rather than insure the death and maiming of tens of thousands, likely hundreds of thousands of Iranians by using a US military that is stretched to the breaking point (golly, thanks George W. Bush), I prefer preserving peace between our two countries and giving Iran at least an opportunity to follow the agreement, closely watching what they do. If they violate the agreement? Slap the sanctions back on them and warm up the B-2's.

    Do you prefer war?

    What a simpleton's argument from you!

    You are presenting a false choice. So much so that you've used it to rationalize negotiation with terrorists. War is not the only other option. Your logic and thinking need work.

    So a citizen from the country the DPRK writes daily over-the-top hate about for mass consumption tries to steal a banner from what is essentially their nutball state religion, and you blame...the US president? Man, did you order a Heineken and get a Bud Light?;)

    I think this is easy to prove, bigtexxx. Once Obama is no longer president, just fly to Pyongyang, stay in a hotel, and when your handler is pretending not to watch you, steal a Glorious Banner Proclaiming the Awesomeness of Wonderful Leader and see what happens.

    So you assume this guy did in fact steal the banner? Have you fallen for the DPRK's propaganda messaging? First impression bias is a classic pitfall...there are always two sides to any story.

    When your question was as amateurish as yours was, it does not deserve a response. You presented a false choice, and I called you out for it.

    Yeah, don't judge when you yourself have page long ramblings dealing with your paranoia of China.

    I make the mistake from time to time of treating texxx like a real person with actual opinions, instead of the troll he obviously is. My bad, as the poet said.

    All you can do is hurl insults. Telling. Your bias keeps you from recognizing that negotiating with terrorists has negative effects.

    If North Korea is smart they should release all prisoners now and issue statements of praise to Donald trump.

    Both he and his supporters are so extremely susceptible to flattery they might be allowed to get away with everything

    I wonder what they did to him to put him in a coma. I guess this will cut into the tourism revenue for NK
