North Korea suspends nuclear and missile testing
- Thread starter UCFKnight85
- Start date
Again, it's sad that you view Americans coming home as merely a reason to try and piss on Trump.
"It's only 3! Who gives a shit about 3 Americans??"
it would appear that way but to say we got no where is false. when was the last time that the leader of NK met in person with the leader of SK? at least we were able to get our people back home. that was a victory.
im still hopeful they can come back together sometime in the future. we need china to put more pressure on un to get back to the negotiation table. im not counting on it though.
How doesn't it? He's saying that he knows that North Korea was the one who asked for the meeting, but it doesn't matter who brought up the idea. It's an acknowledgement of the circumstances.
Fox News didn't cover those, so this is probably the first time Bob and 85 has heard of it.
It's just reminding Un that he is the one that asked for help, throwing it in his face a bit.
It's was all just a dog and pony show. What did it actually get us? So, NK and SK met, what more came from it? Did anything substantial actually happen? Maybe I missed it (I'm not trying to be sarcastic).
2007 and 2000. But they didn't cover that on Fox News so I didn't expect you to know it.

The sentence doesn't make sense in the context of the letter, especially saying the fact is "irrelevant." Plus, it's a poorly constructed thought. "We were informed" is overtly vague for no apparent reason. There were only two parties to the meeting, so who "informed" who should be explicitly known and a matter of fact. He's not saying that he knows NK asked for the meeting - he's saying he was told that. Why the vagary? Did he not know who actually requested the meeting?
Besides, Trump is the one canceling the meeting, not Un. Trump is clearly trying to blame Un for the cancellation. The fact that NK requested the meeting isn't irrelevant, since the US is the one canceling it.
You barely know how to read, so I'm not surprised you think that.
They opened up a direct line between the leaders. Not sure it will ever matter but that is a pretty good step.
We were informed because we don't have direct communication with them. It came via third party and it was made clear that the 3rd party wasn't the one trying to initiate the talks.
Every trump nut hugger is acting like this the first time this has ever happened.
Spoiler alert: its a pretty regular occurrence every 8-10 years, and we had a dozen prisoners returned under the last administration. Literally par for the course.

Uhhh....the new Secretary of State had just gone there right before the announcement, which was made upon his return. That's pretty direct.
And the secretary of state didn't just up and fly to NK. A third party informed us that NK was wanting to meet with Trump. The secretary of state then went and assessed the situation. I don't know why this is hard to understand.
looks like it might have been a dog/pony show but at least it started a conversation again.
Yes, I’m glad for that. I’m also not arguing against that. This wasn’t the 1st time hostages have been released.
All I’m saying is that the line wasn’t moved any further towards the end-game.
I’m not mad at Trump, I don’t think he did anything wrong, I just don’t think anything really happened either.
I say we refuse to talk to either of the Koreas until they change how their naming works. Last name first, first name 2nd, middle name last. Plus they need to start using normal people names, like Jerry or Carl. I'd meet with someone named Kim il Carl or Moon Pie Jackson but there's no way I'm talking to a guy name Un or Jong. It just ain't right.
You keep saying that, but three hostages were released, that IS something happening.
Obama is 100% superior. He knew North Korea never wanted a good deal so he never even offered to talk to them.
Trump is so ignorant that it took him 35 days to figure out what every other president learns in their daily briefing while Trump watches fox and friends, that North Korea has no interest in giving up their nukes.
Keep praising Trump for going back on a deal that no informed president would have set up to begin with. He's a child learning as he goes how diplomacy works.

lol!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Does this clown know that NK's nuclear program made the biggest progress in its' history during Obama's watch?
lolololololololol
Bob - you aren't that dense. You know what I'm trying to say. Stop being a douche.
That’s not true. Obama was going to meet with Il and Fox News went bat shit over it. I’m way too lazy to google it or YouTube it but it’s not hard to find.
well see if they actually follow through but there have been reports that they are taking the right steps
I don't think they're actually dismantling, just moving somewhere else. Their current test site is compromised by all the underground testing and the mountain is caving in on itself. They're putting on a show by blowing some stuff up.
Lol duffle blog kills it again
THE WHITE HOUSE — The Trump administration has minted several hundred military challenge coins to hand out to service members and dignitaries on the Korean peninsula to commemorate the upcoming failure of its US-North Korea peace summit, sources confirmed today.
The White House Communications Agency on Monday released photos of the coins, which feature President Donald Trump and Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un facing each other over text of “Peace Talks” — a reference to a summit between the two leaders set to take place in Singapore that will break down in “spectacular” fashion, according to defense officials.
“It will be the biggest and most beautiful failed peace negotiation of all time,” Trump told reporters. “Way better than Obama, let me tell you. Believe me.”
The historic meeting between the two leaders is currently in the final planning stages, senior White House officials said. Among the topics Trump and Kim are set to discuss is their taste in women, who has better hair, whether The Walking Dead is any good this season, and if time allows, nuclear disarmament.
In various emails and press statements, The White House in the past week has boasted of what it has called an “incredibly historic and successful failure” to come, which it says will demonstrate President Trump’s dealmaking skill and ability to project an image of success amid an objectively crushing defeat.
According to officials, the coins for the summit are to be distributed to a lucky few that are close to the negotiation, soldiers providing security, and former NBA basketball player Dennis Rodman, who will be the master of ceremonies and jello wrestling referee during the meeting.

Maybe China told Un to back off?

Of course they did. The last thing they want is a unified Korea and a close US ally, most likely including US troops, on their border. They control DPRK and don't want it going anywhere. They'll kill Un and put in another puppet if he doesn't go along. North Korea is their buffer from the US and democracy and they want it to stay that way.
