Former US President Jimmy Carter said the US works more like an "oligarchy than a democracy," while also lambasting Trump's “hopeless” approach to solving the Israel-Palestine issue, and the increasing tension with North Korea. The former president was speaking at a ‘Conversation with the Carters’ event at his Carter Center in Atlanta on Tuesday. He said money in politics is what makes the US more like an oligarchy – run by a small group of rich people – rather than a democracy, AP reports.
This isn’t the first time the 39th president has made such comments. In 2015, he referred to the “unlimited political bribery” that has “created a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors.”
On escalating tensions between the US and North Korea, Carter said, “The first thing I would do is treat the North Koreans with respect.”
“I know what the North Koreans want,” he said. “What they want is a firm treaty guaranteeing North Korea that the US will not attack them or hurt them in any way, unless they attack one of their neighbors.” Carter said, “But the United States has refused to do that.”
Carter said he would send his top person to Pyongyang immediately, adding: “If I didn’t go myself.” The former president visited North Korea three times between 1994 and 2011.
"Until we're willing to talk to them and treat them with respect as human beings, which they are, then I don't think we'll make any progress," he said.
There needs to be some type of all-powerful global auto-complete function, applying to all keyboards anywhere in the world, so that any sentence that begins with “Jimmy Carter” auto-completes to “Jimmy Carter spews utter nonsense once again.”
What peace treaty? How about this one: (1) North Korea give up all weapons that can fire more than 12 miles outside their territory, (2) give up nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons, (3) agree to on demand international inspection of any location or facility, (4) agree to not build, give, or sale any proscribed weapons to anyone, (5) release all US citizens, and (6) document in detail every person kidnapped or otherwise taken from outside their territory. I’m sure the list could go on but that seems like a great starting point and one that doesn’t overly stress China but does neutralize North Korea as a threat to the US or anyone else.
He wanted us all to work for peanuts...
Just another DINGBAT DEMOCRAT..
GTH already, Carter! You did more than enough damage and President Trump certainly doesn’t need your kind of destructive advice

Every country is an oligarchy, even North Korea. Kim Jung Un went to a Swiss boarding school for 12 years and was a below average student. He must have powerful people behind him telling him what to do. In fact, many people think the New World Order is just the world’s oligarchs reshaping the world into one that is better for them, their companies and their central banks. In this respect, North Korea may be something other than just a ‘rogue’ country. It may be part of the plan to create this NWO.
Look at this for example:

Uhhh....Jimmy? Kim started this stuff when Obama was President.
“Don’t tell me John McCain will linger for years, too.”
Not to worry, with his type of brain cancer, 90% are dead within 24 months and only 3% survive 5 years. Even better news, he will be a vegetable long before he assumes room temperature.
Jimmy Carter lost by a huge landslide because among other reasons he supports every terrorist out there.
Is he angling for another Nobel Peace Prize again?
Jimmy Carter art of deal-making:
“We will give you the Panama Canal which we built in return for...NOTHING.”
Jimmy Carter statecraft:
“The Shah is super repressive and his people arent free; the Ayatollah Khomeini is a freedom fighter idealist who will make everybody rich and happy”
February
Carter, like Rodman, has a penchant for NK kimchee.
“So glad Reagan defeated this clown.”
Me too. Before I continue, let me confess. Jimmy Carter was the last Democrat I voted for. His tenure was an embarrassment to our country in nearly all respects. But... and it’s a big but. He is the only US president to broker a meaningful Middle-East peace agreement. Other than that, he should build more houses and give fewer interviews.
Up his!
They all have Health Care we peons have not even heard about
0bama replaces him as the worst president ever and the peanut get delusions of adequacy
He’s right about us being an Oligarchy.
They all have Health Care we peons have not even heard about
>><<
That’s one reason why he is right about us being an Oligarchy.
Other than that, he is an idiot.
