Here's a pretty good take from Slate: "Trump isn’t trying to win over North Korea’s leader. He’s using him to win over you."
That last part is why the intelligence community just loves Trump so much..lol

Apparently you don't perceive NK's threatening behavior and great advances in nuclear and ballistic missile technology during the past 2 years as posing any real threat to the world. We live in very, very different realities it seems.
That's a pretty assertive post, considering you don't know what is actually going to happen. How about some time, before your knees jerk? Things might get better, or they might turn to shit, but don't be so cock sure of anything, at this point.

I believe the assertion is Trumptardia will believe anything Trump tells them. If you are correct name one time when that wasn't true??That's a pretty assertive post, considering you don't know what is actually going to happen. How about some time, before your knees jerk? Things might get better, or they might turn to shit, but don't be so cock sure of anything, at this point.

2017
January 1 - In a televised address, Kim claims that North Korea could soon test an intercontinental ballistic missile.
January 8 - During an interview on "Meet the Press," Defense Secretary Ash Carter says that the military will shoot down any North Korean missile fired at the United States or any of its allies.

July 4 - North Korea claims it has conducted its first successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, that can "reach anywhere in the world."
July 25 - North Korea threatens a nuclear strike on "the heart of the US" if it attempts to remove Kim as Supreme Leader, according to Pyongyang's state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

September 3 - North Korea carries out its sixth test of a nuclear weapon, causing a 6.3 magnitude seismic event, as measured by the United States Geological Survey. Pyongyang claims the device is a hydrogen bomb that could be mounted on an intercontinental missile. A nuclear weapons monitoring group describes the weapon as up to eight times stronger than the bomb dropped in Hiroshima in 1945. In response to the test, Trump tweets that North Korea continues to be "very hostile and dangerous to the United States." He goes on the criticize South Korea, claiming that the country is engaging in "talk of appeasement" with its neighbor to the north. He also says that North Korea is "an embarrassment to China," claiming Beijing is having little success reining in the Kim regime.
November 1 - A US official tells CNN that North Korea is working on an advanced version of its intercontinental ballistic missile that could potentially reach the United States.
November 28 - A South Korean minister says that North Korea may develop the capability to launch a nuclear weapon on a long-range ballistic missile at some point in 2018.
2018

January 10 - The White House releases a statement indicating that the Trump administration may be willing to hold talks with North Korea.
March 6 - South Korea's national security chief Chung Eui-yong says that North Korea has agreed to refrain from nuclear and missile testing while engaging in peace talks. North Korea has also expressed an openness to talk to the United States about abandoning its nuclear program, according to Chung.
March 8 - Chung, standing outside the White House, announces that Trump has accepted an invitation to meet Kim.
We don't know what is going to happen, but there is kind of a history here.
So, yeah, we don't really know what is going to happen, but if you are going to give me the same promise you broke 18 times before I think it is reasonable to ask for a bit more evidence that you intend to keep it this time.
I heard someone on MSNBC say Trump is Kims Bagdad Bob.People are saying!
I think in principle Trump did a pretty decent job. But that's all we really have. If we can measure results with real, rigorous inspections, then I'll believe in some progress. Otherwise, I think that NK having some form of real relationship with the world and seeing any hope of westernization/reunification is good.
What concerns me most is that announcing stopping military exercises came as a surprise to the Pentagon and SK. And we don't have a clear picture of what that represents. If it is truly only military display without actual importance to defending against a possible NK attack, then I'm for it.
But overall we got a "trust me". No timetable, specifics for inspections or results, specifics on our end, etc. The exact opposite of the Iran deal. It makes it impervious to direct attack on any of its details because there are no details. Amazing how that's easier to defend than a bona fide agreement.

No wonder some of you are so messed up in the head. You read from that rag.
Fuck you, you arrogant ass. They'd just like the press to go home so they can control the whole narrative (propaganda). Yes the press is the enemy of the people. Why should we unwashed question anything that this admin does.This does not seem like a sustainable strategy...
Do you say this with knowledge of all the previous agreements NK has made?
This does not seem like a sustainable strategy...
They've been waiting a long time.In his interview with Fox on AF1 Trump before he left Singapore claimed that parents of US soldiers who died in the Korean War approached him during his 2016 campaign and asked that their sons remains be returned.

This is why "Fuck Trump" sounds so good to so many people. It takes a real piece of shit to tell an outright and obvious lie like this.I didn't know there were that many 99+ year old Korean War parents left..who knew?!
