“I’ll bet he’s done a thousand deals tougher than this one.”
Any deal is easy when you have the full might of the US Nuclear Triad behind you.
Especially when EVERYONE thinks you’re crazy.
Yeah, this is garbage.
Meaningful pullback of NK’s nukes and missiles have been agreed on already. Down to the details.
Neither Trump nor Kim will make any other offers that aren’t vetted.
The two met before in the Forbidden city. The deal has already been done
Okay, fess up!
Is it the AP via Yahoo,...
...or is it the Yahoos at AP?
“The unspoken truth is that China will decide how this turns out”
I think China deserves some credit for getting Norklandia to the table.
But I think everyone now knows the outcome is out of their hands.
And offer of full integration into the world economy, making Norklandia and all her officials filthy rich is an enticement few anticipated.
Especially when combined with a ratified peace treaty, protection from the Hague and assured asylum in the US should any of them ever need it.
I say it’s out of China’s hands now. The US can guarantee Norklandia’s security. Even from China.
China will figuare in greatly and they gain too. No more fallout from the norks nuke test. We quit bitching about trade they do with the norks. Then North Koreans can eat for a change and China comes off as a helper to peace. We’ll see but stability sells.
And there’s a big carrot for China: NK ports to develop and use for N American shipping, especially oil.
Also the exploitation of NK labor- which everyone wants.
” set to face his match on the global stage “
His match? LMAO!
This is Bobby Fisher playing Homer Simpson.
What qualifies Kim Jong Un as being Trump's "match".
#yellowjournalism
That was my question as well. Match??? Not even close.
There is no test......this stuff just doesn’t matter...bottom line was already drawn to FatBoy.....Denuclearize or you’ll never see the light of day. The end.
Sooooo Kim’s decided he would rather still be a leader.
The supposedly “seat of his pants” President is the best briefed of any president ever on NK. He has been engaged in daily briefings for 6 months and is better prepared than any of our presidents.
as opposed to Obama who had to have a deal with Iran even though it was the worst deal in HISTORY.Iran didn't need a negotiator for Obama/Kerry.
Any rug merchant in the Middle East knew what the two dimwits Obama/Kerry was willing to give up.
Hehe, and who says our press isn't helping President Trump make this a successful negotiation?
Donald Trump is the opposite of impulsive. He tricks idiots into THINKING he’s impulsive.
A successful summit would be good for America and a tremendous success for Trump so of course the AP/Yahoo are against it.
The is so anti-Trump that is almost beyond belief, but just look at who owns it. The same for Yahoo, the joke of the media next to MSNBC.
If Trump is doing anything by “the seat of his pants”, you can be sure that he is wearing asbestos, bulletproof bluejeans with two serious guns on either hip. He may be the “new sheriff” in town but as they say in the opening to “Storage Wars”, “we own this town”. Trumps “owns this world”.
Let’s see what happens. After 8 years of appeasement and surrender by Comrade Obama and his merry ban of Marxists, fools, and surrender-monkeys, it can’t get too much worse.
The Norks know the Democrat Thug Party is on their side.
Bull shiite
He’ll own that spoiled child
Lock stock and barrel
Actually, I doubt seriously that Kim Jong Un is in the same class as President Trump. In a normal world, Trump has proven himself highly successful in the real world of business. Kim was born to his position, he presides over a starving nation, and he is a kept client of the Chinese. None of that says successful. He is, however, the head of a very industrious people who have, with Chinese help, come up with nuke capability.
So, the talks are delicate, not because Kim is capable, but because he might be incapable and maybe prone to terrible mistakes in judgement.
