So less on the article... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 14/06/2018 05:01:26 PM

And more on the actual event. Much has been said that the US is giving up more than the N.Korean's are. Really? Come on now. We've given up nothing. This isn't a contest between equals. This is a negotiation between the most powerful nation in the world, and one who has the capability of lashing out in any number of nonsensical directions. N.Korea would do nothing more than destroy stuff and take lives...and still get absolutely obliterated.

The whole point is to prevent that from happening. Let's keep in mind that we just started talking with them, and it didn't devolve into chaos. Just 12 months ago, the media (and the left) were convinced that's exactly what would occur. Instead, Trump is playing it very well. Don't insult them. Keep them talking. Demonstrate that we can be humble and "give something up," while not really doing that at all.

This was the setting of the stage...nothing more.

As I said to Cannoli - it's not about what it costs the US, but about what it's worth to North Korea - 14/06/2018 07:26:43 PM 579 Views
Trump doesn't care what Kim and North Korea pretend... - 14/06/2018 07:48:26 PM 550 Views
It certainly seems that way. - 14/06/2018 11:14:58 PM 554 Views
The conservative never-Trumpers hate him as much, if not more, than the liberals. - 14/06/2018 11:36:46 PM 546 Views
As they should. - 15/06/2018 12:02:40 AM 560 Views

Funny how it went from Trump is going to start WWIII to Trump caved - 14/06/2018 07:21:44 PM 606 Views
Um, yes. Trump radically changed his position, so the media descriptions changed too? - 14/06/2018 07:40:37 PM 552 Views
The problem is the media posistion is always the same, Trump is wrong. - 14/06/2018 08:30:38 PM 543 Views
That would be more convincing if you said it in a case where he was right. - 14/06/2018 09:17:43 PM 543 Views
I don't agree... - 14/06/2018 09:37:23 PM 556 Views
I agree with this. - 14/06/2018 10:08:27 PM 588 Views
They're not contradictory - just a bit more subtle than having two binary options. - 14/06/2018 11:01:39 PM 679 Views
Well - 15/06/2018 12:03:41 AM 568 Views
Here you are being too optimistic. Sadly for the US and the world. - 15/06/2018 05:55:14 PM 567 Views
I'm *kinda* with you? - 20/06/2018 04:20:46 PM 578 Views

Sure it does. - 22/06/2018 10:02:39 PM 572 Views
It's a start, albeit a very weak start. - 15/06/2018 05:49:27 PM 535 Views
Wouldn't that be ironic? - 15/06/2018 06:03:37 PM 585 Views
