Although President Trump's approach to North Korea has potential, this is why I'm a little skeptical. Communists never keep their word. Every word they say is a lie, including "and" and "the."

What sensible reason is there for Little Rocket Man to give up his nukes? Even if we see video of him destroying them, how do we know he doesn't have others in reserve? Even if he agrees to inspections, how do we know there aren't secret locations we don't know to inspect?

Fred Schultz was right -- you can trust the Communists to be Communists.

Oops, Fred Schwartz.

Glenn Beck. Never Trumper till the end.

I really feel somehow we’re being played. They did a 180 degree turn around on a dime. You just rarely ever see such a dramatic policy shift overnight.

He defected in 2016. I believe that is before China read the North Korean dictator the riot act. Also before his sister saw the fruits of capitalism during the winter Olympics.

Time frame of defection was pre-Trump. The world has changed.

We all know the “agreement” will come down to inspections, which Rocket Man will not allow. But take it a step at a time.

Kim had a nuclear weapons PROGRAM. He did not have any nuclear weapons THAT WORKED. Repeated tests, underground, eventually destroyed the mountain. This is why he wants to DEMOLISH the facility BEFORE he lets anyone into the country to 'inspect' anything. It would be embarrassing politically for him to have the rest of the world find out.

It is also the reason he has capitulated so quickly on giving up the nuclear program. I know that everyone will DOUBT ME on this, but explain why there are no traces of radioactivity coming out of the area where the alleged tests were done.

Well, they either give up the nukes or they don’t, we’ll see. Trump said if he has to walk he will.

The Trump crew has already stated that the Norks have to give up their refinement equipment, kill the program so it can’t be re-constituted and send any nukes/nuclear material to us....time will tell but the conditions that are bringing Kim to the table will only get worse if he refuses.....

It’s best to remain skeptical while hoping for the best, speaking as a Trump supporter. Yes, China did read Kim the riot act, but we can’t be sure that Kim’s just going to give up his nukes. It’s like saying we should trust Stalin to not take over Eastern Europe.

Probably the only was we can definitely say it’s safe is if Communism is fully gone from North Korea, and I don’t mean the fake fall in Russia, but a full giving up of Marxism to such an extent that they literally ban the party and literature, even have a massive bonfire and a massive firing squad against any Communists.
