The statement tonight by South Korean National Security Adviser Chung Eui-yong is so jaw-dropping in significance it has left the professional diplomatic apparatus stunned.
A year of targeted and strategic geopolitical policy execution by President Trump, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley has resulted in North Korean leader Kim Jong-un accepting denuclearization and requesting a meeting with President Trump to achieve terms therein.
The possibility of a willingly denuclearized Korean peninsular is such an astounding policy victory; it is difficult to conceptualize. Here’s the statement from South Korea’s Chung Eui-yong:
“Good evening, today I had the privilege of briefing President Trump on my recent visit to Pyongyang, North Korea. I’d like to thank President Trump, the vice-president and his wonderful national security team, including my close friend General McMaster.”
“I thanked President Trump that his leadership, and his maximum pressure policy together with international solidarity, brought us to this juncture. I expressed President Moon Jae-in’s personal gratitude for President Trump’s leadership.”
“I told President Trump that in our meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said he is committed to denuclearization. Kim pledged that North Korea will refrain from any further nuclear or missile tests; he understands that the routine joint military exercises between the Republic of Korea and the United States must continue. And he expressed his eagerness to meet President Trump as soon as possible.”

Albright went there.
Bill Clinton went there.
Want to impress me..?
Let Un come to *US*.
He announced it, right..? So let HIM come, hat in hand.
THEN I’d be impressed.
Sorta.
He goes to China, sometimes. Let him come HERE.
Meanwhile John Kerry sent an urgent message to Kim Jong Un, “Hold On! Don’t give in!”
Bingo. Their little sanctimonious world just got tossed upside down. Trump should put a sign on his desk: Diplomacy Starts and Stops HERE.
Super great 1.5 min NK parody by David Zucker (slam on Albright)
Very high production value:

There are adults representing the US now
Not sure about the sanity of Jong Un but his father was nucking futs
I can hear the never-Trump and MSM heads exploding, here, in the mid-west.
"Oh! Look at the brilliant sunrise, Melania!"
“downhift to realistic expectations”
Meaning what? You seem to have a special purchase on Korean realpolitik, so share please
So did Obama, HR Clinton and Kerry (not to mention Noble Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter.
He could get rolled.
“””But Trump unlike Clinton administration isn’t offering nuclear fuel, food, leniency....etc””””””””””””
Or a billion dollars in small unmarked bills..
My guess is that NK has a problem on Nuke Mountain and it has been destabilized.
LMAO.
Future GLG-20s
He made the toast..."Here's to the USA.....sucker".
Anyone else not exactly trust Rocket Man?
Meaning that if Un wants to talk —REALLY talk— then he’d be willing to come HERE, to the USA.
That would signal to me —and many others fairly well habituated to NK delay tactics and deception— that Un is actually serious about something tangible.
And not simply trying to show off to his own cabal and the rest of the world that he’s important enough for a face-to-face with a sitting US President.
Not tired of winning!
It's propaganda.
