Trump’s Stunningly Effective North Korea Policy Leaves Professional Diplomatic Corps Gobsmacked

CTH ^ | March 8, 2018

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.

[Religion and Politics]

Meanwhile John Kerry sent an urgent message to Kim Jong Un, “Hold On! Don’t give in!”

[TADSLOS]

Bingo. Their little sanctimonious world just got tossed upside down. Trump should put a sign on his desk: Diplomacy Starts and Stops HERE.

[Eddie01]

"the professional diplomatic apparatus"

[silverleaf]

I dont think we will ever be able to leave the peninsula completely
North Korea is the elephant in the room but not the only security concern in WestPac for us or for our allies

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

[PhiloBedo]

I can hear the never-Trump and MSM heads exploding, here, in the mid-west.

Bikini Atoll is nice this time of year. DJT will arrive only a few hours after Kimchi.

"Oh! Look at the brilliant sunrise, Melania!"

[confederatecarpetbag]

“downhift to realistic expectations”

Meaning what? You seem to have a special purchase on Korean realpolitik, so share please

[HapaxLegamenon]

I just crapped my pants.

So did Obama, HR Clinton and Kerry (not to mention Noble Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter.

[Lisbon1940]

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..

[Sacajaweau]

My guess is that NK has a problem on Nuke Mountain and it has been destabilized.

[TADSLOS]

LMAO.

Future GLG-20s

[Sacajaweau]

That pic makes me want to puke...

He made the toast..."Here's to the USA.....sucker".

[Sacajaweau]

Anyone else not exactly trust Rocket Man?

[gaijin]

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.

[DiogenesLamp]

Not tired of winning!

[Sacajaweau]

Exactly....That's been a given....there are 6 nations involved. Meeting Kim on a one to one is not advised.

It's propaganda.
