Convenient revisionism and spin, after the fact, after all the pie in the sky, naive bullcarp walk to walk on FR about Nobel Peace Prizes and a new era, and other misreading and premature triumphalism. Never ever observed this approach under Ronald Reagan. Shall we replay the tape? It’s for the record you know. Literally months, disgustingly, of it. It was only a matter of time, if you really knew these people, knew the Kim Dynasty. That’s just the plain reality of it.

Headline earlier in day on Friday:

North Korea cuts food rations to just 300g per person, per day

North Korea has cut official rations down to 300g per person, per day after the isolated state suffered its worst harvest in a decade.

The United Nations says 40% of the population - about 10.1 million people - are chronically short of food and do not have enough supplies to last until the next harvest...

You poor thing.

You are really eaten up inside, and it’s obvious.

Not one single president in the last 30 years has attempted to negotiate with North Korea to get it to stop it’s nuclear arms and long range missile programs.

Those negotiations were run by such stalwart negotiators as Jimmy Carter and Madeline Albright.

Trump has tried to put a positive face on it, and you jump up and down like a three year old who has just been told they can’t have candy until after dinner.

So what if Trump and others talked of a Nobel? I don’t think they expected to get it until something tangible happened. I’m sure you would like to think so.

This is all still fluid, and every ripple that comes along, you post nonsense and insults to the Trump team as if they should have completed in a year what nobody has been able to fix in thirty.

Please remind us what and how Obama did on this issue.

Please remind us what and how Bush did on this issue.

Please remind us what and how Clinton did on this issue.

Trump has met with the man face to face. He has tried to put the carrot out front and get Kim to bite.

To this tactic, you whine and insult him.

Do I need to remind you of this every couple of weeks?

I referenced it this way, because neither Jimmy Carter or Albright gave NK an ultimatum. They both let it continue it’s programs. There were negotiations, but not the type that are taking place right now. There was no goal to get North Korea to stop what it was doing.
