Spring 2018 North Korea/US meeting

[Michael Murphy]

It is not just nuclear North Korea we Have to worry about, they have spent a fortune on artillery both tube and rocket.  These units are deployed to hit Soul with its massive amounts  of conventional and gas weapons.  While the US has the resources to take out these weapons it would take at a minimum several days, allowing the North to inflict major damage and casualties  on the Southern Capital.

Let us not forget that its N and S Korea who are making history:

Lets not screw that up.

Let us not forget President Donald J Trump is the reason they are all coming to the table for peace.

I do agree that having a highly volatile President Trump threatening war probably helped bring everyone together. (Maybe volatile is not the best word, what I really and trying to communicate is a president that flip-flops all the time - to the point other leaders have no clue of what he will say he wants want to do the next day so they realized that the historical status quo was at risk and they risk Trump starting a regional war which would seriously hurt the region and globe.)

I also think it helped the people living in that area, finally started to realize that they need to start to actually address the regional issues and that it might be in their interest to start meeting on their own rather than let the US setup the process and goals.

I thought it was blindingly obvious, but for those who are confused: Giving credit to D. Trump is as gullible as believing in Santa Clause, the tooth fairy, and the little pixies that live at the end of my garden.

Nobel Peace Prize

A Nobel Peace Prize for Trump? Hmmm, only the nineteenth year of the century, and already we have the winner for the "Worst idea of the century" award.

[Jean]

No matter how you look at it. Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for having North and South Korea in the same town, never mind all of the other attachments. At any rate he did a lot more getting those two together than Obama did getting his face on a well known magazine Cover.

  Trump did not initiate this, Kim Jong-Un did. And he initiated it because he thinks he can get something out of Trump. Saying that Trump deserves any kind of award for this is like saying that if I come up behind you and hit you over the back of the head with the heavy end of my walking stick, then steal all your money while you are unconscious, you should get an award for giving money to a disabled Englishman!

[Jean]

And just who do you think persuaded ( word used gently) Kimyy to get his happy arse to a meeting. Kimmy knows eventually he will P.O. Trump enough to kick his butt.

[Simon Dog]

This is like the Iran hostage deal.   Endless negotiations under Carter; release within days of Regan taking office.  The key to getting people to do what you want is to either align interests, or present the prospect of overwhelming force if they do not comply (hey, it works to get us to pay our property and income taxes).

[Paul]

And just who do you think persuaded ( word used gently) Kimyy to get his happy arse to a meeting.

Like I said before, if you are gullible enough to believe that, you are gullible to believe it was also Santa Clause, the tooth fairy, and the little pixies that live at the end of my garden. Kim Jong-Un is a megalomaniac moron. He believes he can fool all of the people all of the time. He believes he has Trump on the hook, and he can offer closing a broken down and unusable nuclear site in exchange for the removal of sanctions. His nuclear missiles are either fake, or he has the majority well hidden, and will offer up a few claiming they are all he has. The idiot Trump will accept this, and people like you will congratulate him.

And in private, Kim Jong-Un will wet himself laughing at the stupidity and gullibility of American.

But why should I worry? His missiles cannot reach England. They can reach the USA, but they cannot reach England. And I suppose that if the USA is stupid enough to vote Trump into the White House, nuclear death is probably a kindness.

Spoken like a true Gentleman, thanks  you are very kind.

[Paul]

I'm assuming you mean that sarcastically. If so, you are demonstrating the ostrich mentality that is far too common in America and is the main reason America is not the great power it used to be.

The Obama Iran deal was the stupidest deal in history.  I hope Trump cuts it off. 

Do you give Al Capone his money back?    Dumb Dumb Dumb!

Agreed, but there is a problem with the political credit rating of the US if we going around undoing done deals.

[Rerun]

There always has been since administrations may change every 4 years in the U.S.!  Other regimes know that.  Iran knew they had a great deal until a new President got in.  Unless it was Hilary who would have went along with the Scam!

Israel had a crap deal until Trump got in.  Just the way it works.

[Simon Dog]

Yes, but some presidents have understood that agreements need to be honored.   For example, the "Never invade Cuba" agreement from the sixties seems to have held up nicely.

Israel's accusations seem to be that Iran moved information on their abomb program.   It would be ludicrous to expect any country engaging in an arms control treaty would destroy information it already has.  They could even encrypt it and upload it to GoogleDrive and have the US store it for them without us even knowing.

[Rerun]

Our 3 Americans held hostage by "Little Rocket Man" are coming home!

Thank you President Donald J. Trump.     

[Paul]

Our 3 Americans held hostage by "Little Rocket Man" are coming home!

And they should arrive just in time to get killed in the wave of terrorist attacks on the US from Iran that come thanks to the idiot Trump.

[Rerun]

Only if Iran has been cheating.....   hmmm     Haters gonna hate ...

[Michael Murphy]

The US spent a lot of money building massive penetrating bombs capable of destroying Iranian nuclear sites.  The fact that if they had not agreed to the deal the US would have taken out the nuclear sites.  So now the Iranians begin anew maybe they can purchase North Korea nukes.  Three times the US has had a agreement for North Korea to stop development and 3 times the NK waited a. Couple of months and just started over again.
