Compare and contrast. Obama gives her Majesty an iPod of his speeches and the PM a bunch of his favorite DVDs that are not coded for the UK. Trump shows Kim on an iPad a video of what his country could become if he is smart. Yet President Trump is branded the egotist.
They are invested in a lie. Kim Un was schooled abroad, he’s seen the world outside of North Korea. His peers in North Korea have it in for him, he was born into that life. He faces competion from those who want things to change, from those who want things to stay as they are, and those who simply want his power. And all are willing to use violence to remove him just as he’s apparently willing to use violence against any perceived threat even from his own extended family.
Boris Yeltsin said that Soviets would riot if thry saw the stocked shelves at the Randall’s grocery store he visited.
You can only starve them of food and news for so long. And when they do get it, how will they treat the one(s) who denied them of it?
I think Kim is weighing a strategy by which he retains power and is not killed either for transitioning from a Communist dictatorship or for keeping his people down for so long. He doesn’t want to lose face or his head.
Last month the MSM was telling us that Trump was too volitile and the meeting would errupt with a temper tantrum outburst and the end of the world inside 5 minutes.
What’s McCain’s opinion? Has the dead man weighed in yet?
You think that hard core commie military command never casts its gaze towards China and counts the billionaires sprouting like weeds?
He’ll be needing a bigger travel budget.
This is more what our Founding Father’s had in mind. Farmers and businessmen would come to DC, put in a few years of service and go back to their farms and businesses.
That’s exactly what he should do. Show them a VISION of what they can have IF they play their cards right. It literally cost NOTHING for us to have them open their borders and develop an economy based on NOT being dicks.
I think he’s leaking this to maintain the perspective in deep stater’s heads that he’s an idiot. Underestimating him has done him wonders.
Here is what Trump did in a nutshell.
Think of “Paradise Lost”. Specifically, better to rule in hell than serve in heaven.
Now, is it really better to rule in hell, when the average South Korean lives better than you do?
With an honest answer, we arrive at a solution to this issue.
That’s what Trump did.
You can say that again! I love POTUS!
Can't wait until the golf summit at Mer-A-Lago. There won't be any liberal who could handle that!
Location, location, location..and the North Koreans have the land, South Koreans, Chinese and Japanese could build vacation homes...
OMG!! Viet Nam’s Beaches are unbelievable with Gorgeous High Rise Condos and Expensive Hotels EVERYWHERE.....especially in DeNang!!! They said that a LOT of American Vets are coming to stay and see where they spent a terrible part of their lives!
The stuff that was in between Stone Tables & a Chisel and Digital Discs;)
You are right about the average North Korean but the leadership is. Not starving. I guarantee you they (NK) are probably just tired of isolation and poverty from top to bottom.
My first husband told me how beautiful the beaches were in DaNang. He spent his third tour there.
He works everyday and most weekends... and all while the press and liberals throw rocks at him. trump is in my prayers...
