Is Ben Shapiro a Neo-Con?

From his article today....

Trump Got No Serious Concessions From Kim.

Trump Legitimized Kim. Trump legitimized Kim. There are no two ways about it. Here’s the triumphal video

Trump Delegitimized America’s Actions In The Korean Region

Ben Shapiro is way too annoying to pay any attention to.

Why does everything have to be so black and white? Couldn’t it be part good and part not so good?

sure, he’s a Neo-Con Artist. He was gushy profusely about moving the embassy to Jerusalem, and that’s the ONLY thing he has praised Trump for. He’s critical, if not outright, hateful towards Trump on every other issue.

Trump’s Big North Korean Moment Is Either A Masterstroke Or A Horrible Debacle.


This just goes to show why I like Shapiro so much. He and I agree almost always.

I read that headline and said, “yup”. And AFTER that I noticed it was Shapiro.

Frankly, people disagree with Shapiro on the facts at their peril. It is a highly risky position to take, if history is any measure.

  1. It's really too early to say. NK has reneged on it's promises before, so we need to wait and see.
  2. The toughening of sanctions was a masterstroke.
  3. Getting China to play ball and calling them out publicly when they were trying to cheat was a masterstroke.
  4. Getting Kim to the negotiation table was a masterstroke.
  5. The presentation of the two alternate NKoreas was a masterstroke whether it works or not.
  6. Getting an agreement in principle to denuclearize NKOREA was a masterstroke, but it needs to occur and needs verification.
  7. You do not legitimize someone because you meet with them, that's just left wing sour grapes.
  8. Neither does meeting with someone give them equitable standing with you, also sour grapes.

Shapiro might not be a Marxist pretending to be a “conservative.”

But from the beginning he’s demonstrated exactly what I would expect from an anti-American subversive.

Careful Ben. You are not supposed to critisize a G-d, which some have taken to believing Trump is. Believing in Trump to some hase become like a religion and you know what happens when you “insult” someone’s religion.

Ben’s article could have been said with equal truth but in a very small way; thusly: Very few details are yet laid out much less determined, and nothing is assured, nothing is for sure in thinking sheer will power can overcome what really remain as some very big differences, even differences between Korean and English in some of the terms in the English version of the joint communique. Nothing is yet assured and everything is part of a wait and see process. At the end of the day, the whole thing may get as bogged down in truths that cannot be overcome, as negotiating with North Korea has always done. Let’s wait and see. I am hoping Bolton remains true to all his past positions on Korea, and if he is told not to that he resigns.

It was a good first step. But there is no deal, nothing has been finalized, and North Korea hasn’t started denuclearization. There is a lot of work to be done and a lot of pressure yet to be applied. This could go down as one of the most momentous times in our history, only the second time a country has given up nuclear weapons. But we’re not there yet, and crowing about a win and claiming victory too early is not going to help accomplish it.

“Trump’s Big North Korean Moment Is Either A Masterstroke Or A Horrible Debacle.”

there’s a bit of truth to that, namely, Trump has put his entire self on the line on this issue, and he risks a huge loss of face if the deal blows up ... Trump is a powerful, fearless leader like no other, and is willing to take risks like none of the others before him since Ronald Reagan, who’ve all been little more than feckless cowards ...

The left HATES Trump due to BRILLIANCE and SALESMANSHIP like this. I actually got a small lump in my throat as I watched this trailer. I can’t wait for the film to come out.
As I’ve said before, Trump is playing CHESS with a gaggle of stuck in the 19th-century leftists who are still trying to figure out how to play marbles (probably because they’ve LOST most of theirs)!
Reporters were shown a video ahead of Donald Trump’s press conference in Singapore, which the US president said he had played it to Kim Jong-un and his aides toward the end of their talks. It was made by Destiny Productions and was presented in Korean and English in the style of an action movie trailer

Shapiro is the self-appointed GOPe hall monitor. He’ll let you know when you’ve moved too close to President Trump or stepped outside the “proper” bound of genteel Republican discourse.
He’s also good at debating kids.

Because 65 years of neo-con style diplomacy has made it so much better in the Koreas.

I can see no basis for it being a debacle even if NK later backs out.

Shapiro is a dumb@ss, and he has plenty of company.

It's not a panacea, it doesn't address human rights violations, it doesn't cure cancer or end global warming. It's a first step, a necessary step on the road. That's all.

And it's more than has been done in the last 20 years by any of Trump's large brain critics.

Ben Shapiro is a weasel. He was anti-Trump early on, even calling Trump “immoral” for the Muslim ban, even though he has written articles calling for deporting all Palestinians out of Israel.

Shapiro wants unlimited immigration into the USA, and just because he seems to switch back to our side after being full NeverTrump—even backing the hoax against Lewandowski, that whole fiasco where that stupid b**** from Breitbart claimed Lewandowski pulled her to the ground—doesn’t mean he’s not a little rat on the inside.

Shapiro sees North Korea and sees a country he wants nuked, nothing more.

Neocon Ben is vying to take over the neocon business from Krystol after he retires.
