Merkel likely has custody of Kim now.

Tough talk, yes, and perhaps some soul-chilling gaslighting as well. Heck, we may know how to go into the little goblin’s nightmares. Would not be surprised.

Will probably say that Kim became the voice of reason and Trump should learn from that.

"So, does this buy us: 1) 1 month,

2) 6 months,

3) 1 year,

4) 5 years, or

5) 10 years"

Sort of reminds me of the last time (June-to-November 1941) some slant-eyed POS appeared to have backed down...

“Wow!! Even Drudge is headlining this!!”


Who would’ve ever thought we’d be surprised over Drudge headlining something positive about a Republican president.

The world has turned upside down in so many ways, but thank God for President Trump and for this good news coming out of North Korea.

It doesn’t buy us much of anything. We still have to get rid of Kim’s missiles and nukes. There is simply no way for us to “stand down” now. Trump has his work cut out for him, but walking away from NK is not on the list any longer. And the hard fact of the matter is, we will have to do it alone. No more “international community,” or UN.

Exactly! Just last night, I was re-reading about the Japanese treachery in Nov. & Dec. 1941. The Hull Note, 11/26/41

We are in the same perilous situation.

LOL...I was going to inset 7 years, 5 months into the list, but hit “Post” too quickly. I agree that is the most likely amount of time we just bought.

The "plan" must have been a picture of the missile being destroyed in flight and an American missile landing on his head....

Kim still has and is developing nukes. He will be taken down when NOT taking him down begins to destroy China’s economy.
