Trump and Kim

[jazz]

Everytime I see trump come out of AF1 like a god emperor I am impressed. So different than Obama jogging out of the cargo hold when he went to china. Trump uses the power of the presidency to send a message. The guys is about to break a 30 yrs logjam of diplomacy and do something nobody has ever done before - bring china and NK to heel at the same time. Guy is a genious and grass and others are just jealous. Maybe grass can tell us more about his hero AOC.

Trump may be a genious but not a genius. Trump has the ability of a 10 yr old and the temperament to prove it. North Korea is playing Trump to get sanctions lifted.

I feel sorry for people who cant see the new world paradigm taking shape lead by trump. Let the guy try. He has done more in a year than the last 3 presidents did in 20. Notice missiles aren't flying overhead any more? That's a win right there. Let him work the details and park your TDS for a while, unless you would rather have AOC try. She could give Kim 10 trillion dollars for climate change.

The arms industry got their lobby efforts/payback with a multi billion$$$ profitable WAR...young men were sacrificed for $$$ and USA still lost the war.

I wonder if the USA gets involved in Venezuela? Wouldn’t doubt there are some “assets” there already but on the outside it looks like they’re letting this one play out on its own. Russians judging by RT are supporting Maduro.

There were missiles flying overhead? in Saskatchewan? Canada? North America? I must have missed those incidents. A new world paradigm led by Trump LOL - is it being shaped after him? - the "racist, con man and crook" as the testimony is confirming.

No, no, no, grassfarmer. No missiles over head here.

That was when crooked Hilary was on the front lines dodging them "INCOMING" ones...

I bet grass has never been to asia or even knows an Asian person. If he did, he would know what saving face means. Trump is trying to give NK a respectable off ramp where they can back away from the cliffs edge without looking weak and charting another course for his country. You don't go into someones back yard and take a sh*t like the dems all want him to do. That's not going to solve this issue. Having the meeting in Vietnam is especially strategic.

[grassfarmer]

Spent some time in Vietnam actually - how about you?
Oh the naivety of thinking "Trump the genius" is going to overturn the NK regime. They are obviously playing him to get an easing of sanctions. You don't run a regime like that for 70 years and then give it up for nothing. Remember the talk of peace prizes at the time of the first meeting but it quickly evaporated after as NK made zero changes. Serves as a distraction from the Cohen testimony though.
