Jimmy Carter reportedly wants to discuss 'permanent peace' with North Korea's Kim Jong Un

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has reportedly said he would be prepared to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in an attempt to bring "permanent peace" to the Korean Peninsula.

"Should former President Carter be able to visit North Korea, he would like to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and discuss a peace treaty between the United States and the North, and a complete denuclearization of North Korea," Park Han-shik, professor of international affairs at the University of Georgia, said in an interview published by South Korea's JoongAng Daily on Tuesday.

Park claimed that Carter visited his home at the end of September and told him that he wanted to "contribute toward establishing a permanent peace regime on the Korean Peninsula."

Carter's comments could further aggravate President Donald Trump after media reports surfaced last month which said a senior U.S. state department official had been sent by the White House to ask Carter not to speak publicly about the geopolitical crisis.

He’s an idiot. Peace is impossible with Kim. Without an external enemy and threat (us) he has no justification for the iron fist at home.
He will always need an enemy.

Carter is a moron.

It says a lot about how bad thins have got that Carter ain’t the worst President in the last century.

The last three scuzzbags before Trump are the worst
Presidents, the worst men, we have ever known.

He was one of the worst Presidents.

Now he is one of the worst ex-Presidents.

Bol! That was pretty good.

F is for Fail, an apt summary of Carter’s entire 4 years.

Iran and N.Korea, the gift from Carter that keeps on giving.

Maybe you can give them some more fuel oil if they don’t build a bomb, right Jimmy?

Jimmy is a good person.

Arg! You’re too good: I can’t compete!

M is for Mondale, Carter’s veep who lost to Reagan in a 49-1 landslide.

N is for a National Energy Policy that included price controls—what could go wrong?

O is for Opposition to the legal death penalty, which in practice means lots of innocent citizens receiving illegal death penalties from felons.

P is for Panama Canal, self explanatory.

The reason North Korea has a nuclear arsenal today is because Jimmuh negotiated peace with them yesterday in the nineties and Clinton signed on to it. Sending Jimmuh to
negotiate is like sending the arsonist to put out a fire he started. No thanks, Jimmuh.

I tell folks that I "sailed in Kennedy's navy, and in Reagan's navy," and nobody messed with us! Not so under other CinCs.

That may be difficult.

Perhaps we should settle for 'peace in our time'.

Jimmah’s over-inflated opinion of himself is really tiresome.
