You understand that the SK president said trump was a big part of this meeting happening, yes? Maybe you should ask him what he did, he seems to think trump deserves "big credit."


Here, I know you don't like facts and it makes you mad that your president trump is moving forward with this, far beyond any other president....or SOS, kerry and hillary....

In January, Moon said Trump “deserves big credit for bringing about the inter-Korean talks. It could be a resulting work of the U.S.-led sanctions and pressure”.

My post was regarding President Xi's position on the summit. Xi wanted an end to the military exercises. He got it.

He got 1, I repeat ONE, exercise stopped....and I'm betting it will still go on....that exercise has been planned for over a year, it's paid for....

Since when does the left care about military readiness? That is a new one.

Nothing has changed. The war games we were playing with S. Korea were designed to show force and intimidate N. Korea. Not doing them does not make us less ready. Its a pretty minor concession if it moves the ball forward.

And we will continue to fly the DMZ, regular training will still be conducted, and the daily stuff will continue as it always has....

War games are necessary to insure readiness and work our coordination of forces. Giving them up leaves both us and our allies in the area weakened. But as Trump put it, we save money by not having them. Trump appeasement for a photo op that greatly increased Kim's stature throughout the world.

China is thrilled with this deal. China hated those military exercises and Trump gave them up with getting nothing in return.



So live in your fantasy. China loves the status quo and has no intention of changing it as long as it could help it.
So you can predict the future after all. lol

No kidding, what a pathetic joke...The left would like nothing better than to dismantle our awesome military, yet now this one is complaining about "military readiness"

That answer is a cop out. Apparently, you know little of the historic relationship between China and NK.

Xi is playing Trump for a fool.
Is that the news going around the safe space? Because out here Trump just had a historical meeting that most all agree will make the world a better place.
