Maybe the NORKs could take the Pueblo to Guam and present it to Trump. Then have the meeting on the fantail?
Trump operates from the highly successful negotiating strategy that all parties emerge as winners. If he negotiates any level of peace with NK is that not a win for North Korea?
Does Soy Boy Chuck Todd wish for the North Koreans to remain as they are? Slaves to their own state, impoverished beyond belief and the pawns of a suicidal game their leaders play?
L'il Kim can scuttle the whole thing if he wishes, nothing Trump can do about that, and Trump certainly can't and won't give L'il Kim everything he wants but he will offer him something far more valuable than all the aid they've ever gotten. A chance to join the world as a real nation state with the opportunities that go with that.
Pres. Trump has already made the alternatives very clear. In private he will make the persuasive case for the upsides to the path of reason.
I think that was when we gave those Neanderthals nuclear reactors.
Getting drunk and dancing on tables worked out well in the past!
CHUCK TODD: How does any meeting between Trump and Kim not turn into a victory for the North Koreans?
There are a couple freepers around saying the exact same thing. Friken deep state moles.
CIA = FAILURE. Abolish it.
Trump negotiated better deals and makes the deep state CIA look like morons. They hate him.

The USA left is so afraid of conflict they would surrender their children (which seldom survive infantacide) while groveling, whining and begging don’t hurt me.

Trump is ruining the narrative! We always claim that republicans are stupid, but if he gets an agreement here, he will look smart! Right before an election! We've got to spin this somehow!
Gotta give you some credit for sure, that’s a really flattering picture of Andrea. Way to go. :)
the same mouth breathers literally swooned when BHO said he would meet with rocket man. he never did, but that’s because he did virtually nothing that he said he would do as a candidate.
That meeting of Sec. Albright got off to a rocky start when the North Koreans thought she was the cleaning lady.
You call that a flattering picture?
Well, in a kinda Freudian sort of way, yeah. :)
What the press is not talking about, or asking questions about, is what led up to this meeting announcement. Leaders don't go to meetings in order to get a deal. They go to meetings because they have already negotiated a deal, and are simply formalizing it for the cameras. For most of the last year, President has been squeezing them hard with sanctions, and driving a wedge between North Korea and China. That was the stick, but the carrot was the negotiations with South Korea.
North Korea is really in bad shape, and any way out using violence is going to end really badly for the North. President Trump, through South Korea, has offered a face saving way out of the situation, and it looks like Kim has taken the deal.
I think we can already see the outline of the deal. South Korea allowed North Korea to attend the Olympics in South Korea. Not only that, North Koreans and South Koreans competed under a new flag of the whole Korean peninsula. And North Koreans joined the South Korean women's hockey team. These are not gestures of "de-nuclearization", but eventual reunification.
The American press will have a collective aneurysm when Kim, Trump, and the South Koreans come out of the meeting room smiling and acting like they are best buddies.
Spin, spin,spin,
See the dems spin
Spin, spin, spin
Gone away, down
Spin, spin, spin
Down the toilet
See them go, go,
See them gone, gone
Bye bye.
Who is the Grand Poobah and who authorizes the story in each Media Outlet. Rush has proved time and time again that the stories are almost word for word the same.
:) Forgive me for picturing that in the literal sense instead of metaphorically.
Nice analysis you gave. None of us know the details of what has happened behind closed doors. We don't even know for sure who, what, where, when, how many or how long any such meetings may have been if they have taken place.
We do know that the Norks asked for this meeting and Trump accepted and announced it publicly. That alone says volumes!
