Considering the fact that US has negotiated many agreements with NK before, the only historical aspect here was Trump promoting the kid to the level of other heads of states, which is NOT where that murdering lunatic belongs.

Didn't you learn this is elementary school? Calm down, talk it out, see both sides, compromise, etc. Our bullying, his bullying has had plenty of time to work if was going to it would have by now.
Baloney! Bush actually got a deal. Complete de-nuclearization for some food and fuel oil.
We gave them the food and fuel. Problem is the Kim dynasty does not keep its word.

South Korea and US Pentagon got a surprise.

"Human rights" is the new "catch phrase" of the left...what has happened in NK since trump was elected that was not happening in NK prior to trumps election?




Oh, that's right...it's exactly the same...what did Obama due about it? Nothing...


Hell, even susan rice said it's going to take a while....


Quote:
Susan Rice, former ambassador to the United Nations and national security adviser in the Obama administration, says that North Korean denuclearization is not going to be accomplished with "a one-and-done" negotiation between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the upcoming summit in Singapore. Rice said the best possible outcome for the highly anticipated talks is that the meeting amounts to "more than a photo-op or cordial conversation," with both leaders agreeing to "concrete steps" to craft a framework toward denuclearization.

Never thought I would see the day that good old patriotic conservative Murica loving Murica a would support shaking hands with a dictator who threatened American army bases with missles . A man who sent back an American hostage brain dead. Ronald Regan would roll over in his grave. How a fast talking city sllicker from NY was able to get middle American conservatives to betray their patriotism and values should be studied at ivy leagues for years to come....

[Newsmaker] South Koreans hope Trump-Kim meeting brings lasting peace

I'm going to keep my eye on what South Korea says, so far they are okay with it. At the very least, it's a start.

I honestly think Kim wants to make a deal, so he does have a chance of being right, and i hope he is.

Which others had face to face meetings? This did nothing for NK, sanctions are still in place.....if kim does nothing, then where are we, the same place as before...
