Gotta love the libs. Apparently they think that Trump has never negotiated anything in his life, unlike, say, John Kerry or Hillary “Benghazi” Clinton.

It is negotiation.

Last week, it was Kim who was threatening to cancel.

This week, it is Trump threatening to cancel.

It is postering and positioning and placating. There is still time that the summit will happen. It may be moved elsewhere to help Kim, who fears a coup if he is out of NK.

And, as a bonus, it is driving the Media and Establishment bonkers.

Key point - Iran does not have the capability today to detonate a suitcase bomb.

Trump will MOAB their ass in defiance of the world if that is what it takes.

We are living and participating in historic times.

All Iran has to do is send nukes to hit the Kaaba, and they definitely can do that.

You can read about it in Revelation.

key fact. Iran probably has more than suitcase bombs already....
considering Iran has had nuclear expert help from North Korea for several years already and NoKo has nukes and ICBMs nearly ready to launch, also Russians and Germans, etc. are known to have been working for the Iranian nuclear bomb projecgt

and Obama let them have 150 BILLION dollars in CASH... (that much money buys you just about anything you want...)
and Obama threatened to wage war against any countries trying to slow or stop the Iranian nuclear bomb project
and ... and.... just don’t assume Iran is impotent (or assume Iran will always remain impotent)...they continue to threaten USA and others, too

the vipers of this world.. Iran, Hezballah, PLO-PA-Hamas-Fatah, ISIS, you name it.... must be defanged or we all gonna get poisonous bites

North Korea says open to resolving issues with U.S. after Trump scraps summit: KCNA

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea’s vice foreign minister Kim Kye Gwan said the North is open to resolving issues with the United States whenever and however after U.S. President Donald Trump called off a June summit with its leader, Kim Jong Un.

“We had set in high regards President Trump’s efforts, unprecedented by any other president, to create a historic North Korea-U.S. summit,” said the vice foreign minister in a statement released on Friday by the North’s central news agency. “We tell the United States once more that we are open to resolving problems at any time in any way,” he said.

I feel so bad for Iranian women.

I see the pictures before the Islamic revolution and I just can’t believe it.

Sickening.

I support a strike on Iran’s military infrastructure now!

...and their North Korean R&D centers.

Vicious and unrelenting.

Revelation 18:

[15] The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
[16] And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
[17] For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
[18] And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
[19] And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
[20] Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
[21] And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
[22] And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
[23] And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
[24] And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Rocket Boy talked shit.

Didn’t send the planning team to Singapore.

The rest of North Korea wanted this desperately.

Their people are suffering.

Rocket Boy is a vile, vicious and sick ANIMAL.

Put him down President Trump. Do us all a favor.

Do the people of North Korea a favor.

So...Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, Clinton(s), most all of the MSM; then there was McCain and a host of RINOs who have been unable to “Play” Trump...what makes them think the rotund “leader” of NK will be able to play him?

The portly picayune from NK - who is having trouble financially, who can’t adequately feed his people - is supposed to be somehow “fooling” President Trump?

Trump got the hostages back, free of charge. He got the Korean leaders to talk to each other.

I don’t know if “destroying the nukes” was actually done, or just staged, but all of the positive progress on the talks so far have been because of Trump.

AND, don’t forget the biggest thing...after NK played hooky from the planning session, Trump didn’t just “scold” them, he called the whole thing off, and went back to more important issues. He’s not making a big deal out of it, and commandeering an hour of prime time TV to make excuses and lecture about it, and....and....and....HE HASN’T OFFERED THE MIGHTY MIDGET ZILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO PLAY WITH HIM.

He’s seen the little game played with NK since the early 1950’s, i.e. they bitch, they threaten, we pay, they go away for a couple of years until they need more money.

It’s sort of like here...based on ANY excuse, we have riots, then there are “peace” meetings, programs and money are offered for peace, then we don’t have any more riots...unless there flat-screen TV’s go on the fritz, or, their “Air Jordan’s” wear out.

We’ve been played plenty, and not only by NK, but no one has played Trump yet.

Agreed, but the Fake News gave the event wall to wall coverage to the benefit of the Norks, then POTUS cancelled the summit.

What’s the Fake News going to say, of well, it was only an already destroyed facility.

Staged.

For what it is worth, A+ post.

Hit all the key points... accurately.

If you had said something I disagreed with, I would have let you school me on it, but no - perfect.

> Trump did get played by sessions.

Respectfully, but strongly disagree! Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither will be the legal case that takes down the Deep State.

To anyone familiar with Asia, this is classic negotiating from Kim, nothing more. Meet part of the obligation, hold out for better terms or face-saving, etc.

But wait...the Asians may have met their match in the author of Art of the Deal....
