North Korea says it may give up nukes, willing to talk.

Of the 4 or 5 he generally owns, you're the dumbest of the lot.

I disagree brah

[RandomGuy]

Thank you Trump.

Meh. Trump is about to be played, and he has nothing but his own ignorance to blame.

If it works, great, but my money is on NK. NK is like Trump when it comes to empty words and bluster, but they are much better at it, and have decades worth of experience.

Im beginning to think Trump traded China the South China Sea for shutting down fat boy in Korea.

Horrible deal if so. Whatever you might gain from NK, you lose in pissing off every country that borders that Sea and was looking to the US for leadership to counter China. Not really a good exchange for the US.

White House says will be 'consequences' for China militarizing South China Sea (1 hr ago)

Holy that would be the worst deal in the history of the United States.

I think CC may be right on this one. China installed missile batteries on the islands. Trump administration blathering about consequences may be just that, blathering intended to provide cover for the fact that Trump just sold out some of our allies who were counting on us.

Holy what a bad deal. I am gobsmacked at how ed that would be if that is the case.

Add to that all the influence Xi is buying around the world -- I can't think of a worse scenario short of losing an armed conflict to China.

Thanks, Dennison!

China can control and stop shipping in a 150 mile radius with those missiles.

As long as it's OK with you.

What the is that supposed to mean?

[Chris]

It amazing how Americans will rationalize anything no matter how good the news just to appropriate their hatred for Trump. Nation wide cognitive dissonance perfectly programmed by MSM. SAD!

They're all embarrassed because that's a great theory you have and they are ashamed that you thought of it.

No, we agree with him that it's a possibility and that possibility is the worst possible thing that can happen in the area.

[TeyshaBlue]

A possibility? Ok. Construction on the missle sites started over a year ago. But sure, it's possible Trump gave the area away over a year ago. It's also possible my Chihuahua speaks Russian.

[TeyshaBlue]

Because, really, there haven't been any tensions concerning this region in, like, ever.

I'm quite large on, commas.

What the does this even mean?

There is no way we let China control our shipping in this area to the detriment of trade.

Great theory doesn't mean it's a great idea. It just means it's A WHOA, I could see that happening.....


Lol

[ElNono]

I'd love this to work out, tbh... This certainly would be a big win for Trump, but above all, for everyone involved, IMO...
