I think it’s very smart for President Trump to show things like the casino, beach resorts, speed boats, golf etc. He pointed out they’re right next to China and South Korea which have both been booming. They’ve got valuable real estate. There are investors and customers. The NK elite could get rich and live in a much nicer area where they could enjoy all those nice things.

Trump is telling Kim and all of them he’s not just offering kumbayah. They really could have very nice lives enjoying luxuries they could only dream of now. IMO, he’s shrewd to use this as part of the sales pitch. Kim now has something to offer the NK elites to gain their support for a deal.

Being a community organizer rather than s real estate mogul, Obama never could have sold a vision like that.

Yes, plus offers by international companies to open operations in the country:

McDonalds
IKEA
Hotel ventures
Etc

Plus, a compelling dialogue of more reasons to join the world

“As in “You can vote for this deal or I can feed you to the dogs. Which will it be?” “

The problem is that one day, the dog feeders grab him, acting under orders of a group of Generals and relatives who have decided “the revolution must be protected from the decadent and fat child who spent too much time abroad”.

It has been a near constant through history. Caesar getting stabbed by the next level down.

Because you have NO interest in thinking an merely are failing around with you your usual pathetic need to find something to whine at Trump about.

Comparing this to Munich is about a grotesquely stupid an analogy as it is possible to make.

Trump got everything and gave away nothing. Hardly anything at all like Munich. To make that comparison you have to be a complete historic imbecile and, at the same time, wholly ignorant of what happened yesterday.

Face it, you are just squealing today because you still pouting your go Cruz lost the 2016 GOP Primary.

YOU LOST get over it finally,.

Here’s how Kimmy is going to sell the deal. He learned a lot from Trump, so he’s bringing back a film. The film shows 2 futures:

1) Everyone with big smiles on their faces, worshipful of Kimmy, and with the leadership living in giant mansions and a stable of cars and hot women; and

2) All of the leadership of NK that doesn’t approve of the deal shot with anti-aircraft guns, or torn to shreds by a pack of starved dogs.

He’ll then say: “Gentlemen, choose Option 1 or Option 2. Your responses are being monitored to improve customer service.”

Munich? Really - you’re comparing this to the MUNICH “deal?”

Hogwash.

1. We’re withdrawing NO forces.

2. The Norks are not getting permission to invade South Korea.

3. The Norks are going to have to dismantle their nukes and rocket program.

4. We still have sanctions in place.

5. Trump isn’t saying “peace in our time,” but only that it is possible, and that MUCH more work needs to be done, and that all of the NK promises will have to be verified.

I cannot think of an agreement that is more DIFFERENT than the Munich abortion than what is in place.

Did you recently travel to NYC or SF and drink the water?

What he's not is invincible. He can find himself poisoned or shot just like the rest of us.

“Kim murders his own family “

Probably not. The Kim’s are the facade. There is no way one person could hold that much power. A single head would be a magnet for a coup by a small group.

That’s why he used a pen handed to him by his sister. The pen laid there could be poisoned

>> Why does he have to sell the deal to anyone?”

IMO NK has been a CIA puppet for decades. Kim is the face of NK, but NOT it’s ruler. He is beholden to his puppet masters in the CIA.

Now he is free at last.

Not proof, but definitely evidence: Look at pictures of Kim before Trump. Look at recent pictures. Before - no smiles. After - many smiles. Those are the smiles of a man released from his chains.

Dictators are essential at times to ensure a Free Republic.

Study Roman history, lots of examples.

Trump may be the next Lincoln (Dictator) or FDR (Communist Dictator).

OK, this is confusing. You are telling us that the CIA has been in control of North Korea and has been wasting our money on troops and military drills these decades when they could have stopped the whole thing?

Who in the CIA has this power?

“The West simply has no comprehension of how deply and thoroughly KJU and his family have propagandized and brainwashed the citizens and leaders of Nork-land.
Virtually nothing the North Koreans are allowed to see actually reflects reality. NOTHING!! “

I myself had no idea.
Last weekend the AHC channel ran a series of shows on North Korea, it’s leaders and society. I watched them all.

One show had an eye surgeon go to Norklandia to do cataract surgery. Blindness from cataracts is so prevalent the doctor was hoping to do 1000 surgeries in one week.
Lisa Ling was part of the group and they were allowed to tape certain things. The security was so tight each member of the doctors group had their own NK minder.

One thing taped was a room full of patients getting their bandages removed.
EVERY.SINGLE.ONE fell to their knees thanking Dear Leader for their restored sight. Not one even mentioned the doctors.

One man vowed to take up arms until the Evil America was destroyed in thanks to Dear Leader.
One woman wanted her sight back just so she could see Dear Leader again.
Lisa Ling was still having trouble believing it a few years later.

Another show had to do with defectors.
One defector was asked about what may have happened to his family back in NK. He was visibly upset and said he didn’t want to talk about it, he tried not to think about it.

They showed operating room footage of the soldier that escaped from Panmunjon. The worms and parasites they were getting out of him were sickening. One worm looked to be a foot long.

From watching those shows it is my opinion the Kim dynasty must end and three or more generations pass before the people of NK will be ready for reunification.
If then.
