http://www.aei.org/publication/north-koreas-phony- peace-ploy/ Don't forget this is the regime that walks out of talks repeatedly over imagined slights. Or to quote Admiral Ackbar, "It's a trap". Sure, it's nice to get the snuggle bunny feeling that anything less than 700 megatons of nuclear fire, carefully divided up among the thousands of artillery units dug into bunkers, aimed at Seoul, will do any good. But don't count on it. | ||

Scott Adams said ~2 weeks that he expects at least one “walk away” during negotiations. According to him, the difference in this round and previous attempts at negotiating with NK is that the sanctions are REALLY being enforced this time and Trump will not relent at all until there are real achievements in denuclearization. This time, we didn’t just take countries’ word that they were complying with sanctions, we went after individual companies that were not complying. Apparently certain Chinese companies were noted violators. NK will collapse in the near future if the sanctions aren’t lifted. I hope Adams is right. | ||

A direct quote is now a meme? Of course it's not a direct quote. It's been pointed out to you a number of times now. It's good of you to confirm that you are keeping up with this thread. That demonstrates that you are completely disingenuous in repeatedly posting that meme. I would add, with pretty much everything you post. Meanwhile, I hold my breath with full knowledge that the NK peace talks could fail at any time, it is worthy to note that Trump is making accomplishments in this area that have not been seen in my life time. This is something that the President of the choomer club couldn't even dream of. It's a bizarre world we live in that one of my favorite cartoonists is the most accurate political analyst.  | ||

Julie . . . you are an idiot. "Locker Room" talk . . . . does not require you to have been in a locker room any more than "gutter language" requires one to lay in a gutter of "blue" jokes require one to take on a tint. Trump is a brash . . . mouthy . . . obtuse person. His braggadocios nature is reminiscent of Obama bragging about smoking dope and not going to school (quotes from his book) while he was at Columbia. I knew he was just . . . to use a dope smoking pun. . ."blowing smoke" up our asses. (by the way . . . that doesn't really require an ass either) You're inability to engage in thoughtful dialogue has transfigured you into a spectacle . . . I learn from many here . . .am entertained by you. | ||

Opinion: The talks/negotiations/specifics of denuclearization/peace have already happened/are already in the book:  What we're seeing now are just the public formalities. | ||

I agree. (in regards to the Korea deal) And I suspect (also opinion) thats the reason the Dems are so pissed off and were fighting so hard against the appointment of Pompeo as SecState. He just....went and did it. Handled the negotiations, got the deal done, no fanfare, no handouts, no chance for the lobbyists to stick their noses into it, no chance for the press to screw it all up. "Loose lips sink ships". Our businessman-President understands that. Don't broadcast your next move, and you'll win more deals. (Message edited by ratbuell on April 27, 2018) | ||

What was Pompeo's job title several weeks ago when the pic of he and KJU was taken? I think this is an important piece of the overall puzzle... MAGA  | ||

Yep. Important point, IMO. | ||

I'm loving this . . . Mike Pompeo is a good friend of my Mother (who I think FB1 has met) and I know he's a no nonsense guy. This could get good. Think of all the travel Hillary Clinton did as Secretary of State . . . . and all that we have to show for it is self serving deals, personally, for the Clinton family. The American folks were royally screwed by the past administration and it's so refreshing to see American being placed back on the tracks. | ||

On the NK/SK peace talks.... I HOPE Kim Jong Un has magically turned around and decided to actually bring freedom to his people. Just think, he could be THE revolution that entirely transformed his country. His citizens could go from impoverished, malnourished slaves to first-world citizens driving nice cars, eating Mcdonald's, shopping at Walmart, and slamming back a cold one after a hard days work at the office. Free to come and go as they please, free to listen to the music of their choice, free to vote for their national leaders, free to express their opinions. He could be the savior of NK as a nation. BUT I somehow have a hard time trusting someone who was bred to hate everything that I just mentioned. I'm not saying it's a trap, but..... I just hope I'm wrong. For the people of NK's sake. | ||

I believe they're talking about our buddy Julie. I don't think it would be worth their time to target our little corner of the world though. We just arne't that big. Perhaps they might with a very third rate troll. Hey, maybe they are talking about Julie! On the idea of peace with the Koreas, it would certainly be a win for North and South Korea. It would be a win for the US. It would be a win for China. It would be a yuge win for the people of NK. It would pretty much be a win for the entire world. About the only person that I don't see it being a win for would be the missile man himself. It would be worth making missile man a hero in this and setting him up with riches for life IMO, if he were to step away from power. Think they will award Trump with a Nobel Peace Prize?  | ||

It would VASTLY benefit Kim Jong Un as well. He would probably win your nobel peace prize. He could spin it (justly so) so that he was the redeemer of NK as a nation. He could take credit for everything. He probably SHOULD pursue that avenue. Read through half of the redacted House Report.... According to the report, Trump and his cohorts are TOTALLY in the clear, but the DNC and the Clintons are NOT! BIG SURPRISE!! It does claim, on a couple of occasions, that the Russian gov not only sought to destabilize the validity of the electoral system, but actually helped Trump. That part, I have a hard time believing. Look at the 45 naked communist goals, look at everything Yuri Bezmenov (former KGB operative) said. Trump is the opposite of everything Soviet, everything Marxist. The Democratic party represents the majority of Marxist doctrine, watered down into a "western-acceptable" cocktail. The left fulfills Soviet subversion and destabilization goals. Trump's ideals protect America from it. Additionally, the documents claims, many times, that Russian propaganda and hacking attempts were detrimental to BOTH sides. Maybe they did help favor Trump and there was some method to their madness. It just doesn't compute. | ||

Just talked to my folks, both Korean War veterans. They are "guardedly optimistic" about KJU and Moon's narrative. I still think China(JinPing) laid down the law to KJU last month. That doesn't detract from the fact that the Korean War might FINALLY see a PEACE treaty. The very aggressive sanctions AND ENFORCEMENT seem to have worked. I believe Trump can claim this triumph as his... Z (Message edited by zac4mac on April 27, 2018) | ||

Not my words. Food for thought from some thoughtful folks, as history continues to be made here in America and around the world:
God Bless our President and his family. Amen. |
