Balls of steel?

Putin has Trump's balls in his pocket.

Xi is playing Trump for a fool.

Trump took a big step toward the US leaving by giving up military exercises that bother Kim. He got nothing in return of course, but a photo op. Appeasement is all this is and while you might get a peace prize for that, it will not, in the end, lead to peace.
Yep, it has all been promised before BUT no other President has sat down with any NK leader to actually speak face to face.
KJU may well be different than his predecessors as he may well see that past actions have got NK nothing but starvation and being ostracized.

Things are very different then in the past as NK does in fact have Nukes and there's a very high probability that they have the means to deliver them to the U.S. via express Airmail (ICBM). I love how some on here keep flapping that "Trump legitimized KJU by meeting with him". To that I say "quit being partisan MORONS", NK having Nukes and the means to deliver them to the U.S. legitimized them more than ANY meeting would.

So the actions of the past on both sides got everyone nowhere, time to try something new.
We'll see if KJU is serious or not, time will tell. At least THIS time sanctions will NOT be lifted before things happen....

Just for the heck of it, here is an excellent website detailing the diplomacy efforts between the USA and NK:


https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/dprkchron


Looking through this chronology, one can readily see that dealing with North Korea has been, at least, 'difficult'. While I am hopeful that President Trump can get some lasting good out of this summit, I hope that he is aware of our history with North Korea.

And you're getting the same without even leaving your basement! <bold>

Time will tell who's the fool, the vapid TDS Trump haters or Trump and his policies.
Personally I don't care if it's Trump or Rodman or even Donald Duck that gets NK to the table and gets them to stand down, at this point they are DANGEROUS to the world as a whole.

Y'all should watch the History Channel documentary on NK and their Nukes, EMP's. That'll get y'all to thinking...

This post makes no sense. Can't you stay on topic for just one post?????

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

Or stupidity. He's got both, really.
I guess insulting and betraying your own countrymen is more worthy of the Nobel because that is why your guy received one.,
