    you are the one who doesnt know what you are talking about. where exactly did i state that i was fine with obama bowing? i dont believe ive ever commented on that, but id categorize it as a diplomatic blunder as well.
    i had a problem with obama bowing to the saudi prince, who like north korean leaders, is part of a brutal regime that oppresses its own people. i also had a problem with george w bush kissing and walking through meadows holding hands with saudi princes.

    again, the point i was making which apparently went over your tribalist, defend-and-deflect-for-trump-on-every-single-issue-even-though-you-claim-you-dont-support-or-like-him self was one of hypocrisy. fox news and "conservatives" would be calling for impeachment if obama had saluted a north korean general. citizen trump would have been livid and most certainly would have voiced his displeasure on twitter.

    trump gave the north korean regime the photo op and legitimacy it craved. he stupidly played right into their hands.

    and yes, i have a problem with my president returning the salute of the general from one of our adversaries. a country who has repeatedly threatened to destroy us. a country who brutal oppresses its own people.

    a trump supporter (i know, you dont support him! - haha) chiding others on "military customs and courtesies" is pretty hilarious. attacking POW's and gold star families and lying about pay increases is the pinnacle of "courtesy"! good stuff boreby!

    SMH, again, the difference between RETURNING a salute and INITIATING a bow clearly went over your head. They mean 2 VERY different things. One is a diplomatic blunder, the other is essentially the right thing to do in a diplomatic situation....much like the actions in the pictures you posted were the right thing to do in a diplomatic situation.

    I know that people such as yourself suffer from a pathological condition that skews your viewpoint on this, but suffice it to say if you were capable of looking at the situation logically using the facts at hand you'd have a different opinion.....but of course I know that's too much to ask from most people down here.

    So you know what you started out saying is an outright lie, but you decided to go with it anyway? Strong.

    Just go ahead and admit to your ignorance and move on, none of your drooling will get around the facts.

    lol Trump is a dumbass.

    Only thing more shameless than putting lipstick on a pig is the one selling the pig.
