hundred to one against.
Yes.
But leaving the country used to be a gamble for any of the family.
There are times fatboy would not take a step over the border and had to crack skulls.
Who knows, they are still very much an unknown.
hundred to one against.
Not really better to have talks, especially ones that give propaganda coup to the dictator. KJU will also try to score points.
So basically:
NK got two things it has always wanted:
Sit down with US president. Propaganda coup, making NK leader an equal to a superpower.
Cessation of troop readiness exercizes between SK and US.
They gave nothing but a promise, the same kind of promise they have broken several times.
Dealmaker Crooked Donny.
Yeah, they won't impeach him until at least the fall, after the election.
i don’t buy this
If we had a list and just started checking off deadlines not met we could win a propaganda war easily.
I fear that Trump wants nothing to do with a list of completed projects that intelligence and military deem worthy. This is on our press to employ a full court press every day. No declaring diplomatic victory and walking away. Where is the list, how do we know, which empty warehouse and tunnel has not been thoroughly checked and again after fatboy moves stuff... What’s the protocol for moving all hardware... on and on...
I laughed.
I usually do.
This place is great.
Never ever leave Chris.
what's the propaganda coup? unlike cessation of military exercises, is that even a tangible benefit?
This is a rather jaded view of the event.
They signed a piece of paper with no guarantees from NK![]()

Poor DMC. Those porkers for fingers cutting off circulation to his brain.

I'm not Chris.
That is the professional view of the event. Kind of like the professional view of the stupid Kansas tax cuts is that trickle down economics is utter bull , akin to the morons who think that vaccines cause autism.
Somehow Trump won with no promises in return![]()
The propaganda coup is that Un gets something neither of his predecessors got, i.e. photo-ops of him as an equal to the US president, as opposed to a pariah with a toxic miasma around him.
They have been angling for this for years, but no president was so gullible as to agree to it without preconditions.
so besides the photo op with DJT and symbolic dimensions of that, what did NK get, other than a US promise to halt military exercises that might easily be reversed?
Well now China is pushing for sanction relief on NK. So we will see.
so basically, other than an agreement to keep talking, very little has happened.
That is an important thing to point out. The exercise thing is easy to reverse. To be fair: The win is a mild one for NK. Trump can go back to "fire and fury" at any time, but will look like a simp WHEN NK renegs, and they will.
The damage though, is as always to US prestige. SK realizes we may not live up to our promises, and that message is reverberating around the Pacific rim. China is the big winner on balance, because they look to have orchestrated this, with the US taking a credibility hit.
Countries that have been resisting some Chinese pressure/aggression will think twice about standing up to China, since they know the US may not really have their backs. That is the 2nd order consequence.
Eyup. Dunno, as much as I know this is a mild win for NK as it stands, seems worth a shot.
Step back from the groupthink of the foreign policy circles, and maybe trying something new will work when 70 years of more of the same hasn't.
In all due seriousness: I am willing to give Crooked Donny the credit for trying some , even if it is out of complete ignorance and hubris. If it works, good, but I would not bet on it doing so. Conventional wisdom is usually conventional for a reason.
What good is a guarantee from an en y you cannot control? You have to make inroads to that kind of regime, which there is really only one of in the entire world.
Maybe you have some relatives living there. Can you get the skinny from someone in the know, someone not named Kyle?
I know.
You made a funny.
Chris is a funny.
the big item was Trash stopping "war games" with SK for nothing, which pleases China and Russia
