So let them think it... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 14/06/2018 10:21:46 PM

Let them believe that their leader is the one calling the shots. Let the N.Korean government (from top down) believe whatever they want. What does it matter? None of that changes the fact that Trump got them talking. That, in and of itself, is a huge thing. That's more than other President's have even attempted to do.

And it's not like any of the sanctions have changed. They are still being strangled. When they start giving up nuke capability, move away from the brutal human rights violations...maybe, just maybe, they will come to realize that the world out here is more prosperous than their world. Little changes add up.

But let's also acknowledge that the media and many "at large" people don't want Trump to succeed. They want his failure. They want to paint him in a bad light. They want to belittle him. He says/does some "non-Presidential" things, but even a few years ago, no one would have dared to have a severed head-likeness of Trump in a photo shoot...or would have called a member of his Administration (or his family) a c*nt.

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 599 Views
Trump doesn't care what Kim and North Korea pretend... - 14/06/2018 07:48:26 PM 568 Views
It certainly seems that way. - 14/06/2018 11:14:58 PM 573 Views
The conservative never-Trumpers hate him as much, if not more, than the liberals. - 14/06/2018 11:36:46 PM 565 Views

Funny how it went from Trump is going to start WWIII to Trump caved - 14/06/2018 07:21:44 PM 621 Views
Um, yes. Trump radically changed his position, so the media descriptions changed too? - 14/06/2018 07:40:37 PM 569 Views
The problem is the media posistion is always the same, Trump is wrong. - 14/06/2018 08:30:38 PM 560 Views
That would be more convincing if you said it in a case where he was right. - 14/06/2018 09:17:43 PM 557 Views
I don't agree... - 14/06/2018 09:37:23 PM 570 Views
I agree with this. - 14/06/2018 10:08:27 PM 600 Views
They're not contradictory - just a bit more subtle than having two binary options. - 14/06/2018 11:01:39 PM 695 Views
Well - 15/06/2018 12:03:41 AM 584 Views
Here you are being too optimistic. Sadly for the US and the world. - 15/06/2018 05:55:14 PM 580 Views

Sure it does. - 22/06/2018 10:02:39 PM 588 Views
It's a start, albeit a very weak start. - 15/06/2018 05:49:27 PM 555 Views
Wouldn't that be ironic? - 15/06/2018 06:03:37 PM 601 Views
