I think China is the big winner of this round; Cancellation of planned and future exercises with South Korea? Really? "Expensive and provocative" ?!?!?!?!?

That is a monster 'give'

No details on what and/or how they are going to do anything. As I said before; I'm hopeful and cautiously optimistic. 🌫

CBS morning news apparently has just now become aware of Korean human rights issues... and they're really upset about flags being neighbors.

Fking hilarious.

Yeah. what about all those people and families lil' Kim has murdered??

Or was all that just propaganda so we could bomb the **** out of him and keep the military industrial complex alive?

The closest any American president came to accepting a sit-down with the North Koreans was Clinton. He rejected the idea after his secretary of state saw it was bs.


It's a big deal to the North Koreans. It validates/empowers them.



No other potus would have met with this butcher.

But I'm sure it will look good (wait, maybe the mid-term elections had something to do with it?) to all those already enamored and hypnotized by King Donald the Orange.

I'm not necessarily against this meeting... And I haven't decided yet if it was a success or a failure or a... Meh... But the meeting hasn't really given any indication of reducing the chance of a rogue rocket taking out Tokyo.... I think that's still a chance.

They are dismantling a rocket engine test station... So ya, that could increase the likelihood I guess.. 😟

....the test site they blew up a couple weeks ago?

Reports indicated that may have already been damaged.

To be fair to trump, he didn't really do anything terrible here.

The document they signed didn't really commit either north Korea or the USA to anything... The denuclearization wording was vague and non-committal, and trump didn't give anything up for it.

His statement that a war games will stop is a concession... But it isn't written down anywhere, so he could technically walk that back, especially if Un doesnt do anything with the nonspecific denuclearization.

Not a huge loss. North Korea got their meeting with the US. But I don't see that as the bad thing others see it as. I wouldn't have been upset at Obama for meeting with n Korea.

Now if only he weren't such a train wreck with our actual allies.

Just when you thought there was a finite limit to partisan BS, Huck strikes again.

Here's the deal:

OF COURSE there is risk the NK will break promises.
Or they could be just looking to feel "legitimate" on the world stage.

If this were easy, Obamy could have done it.

But the risk is small compared to the gain if NK de-nukes even a portion of their arsenal.

To think otherwise is just myopic hatred of our President.
