When you play with real or pretend issues like this you show a cavalier lack of care for the freedom and future of millions of North Koreans, the peace and future of South Korea, US and other soldiers lives and all just to “score points’ on the Trump administration in the eyes of uninformed readers.

The WaPo is a scum organization, run by sucmbags and employing scum who care nothing for the future of that region. I would be ashamed if anyone I knew worked for them.

Just fly in a pallet of cash to pay for it. The MSM will completely ignore it.

The media is doing everything it can to torpedo the talks, taunting Kim, leaking everything, insulting everyone in hopes someone will get mad and pull out.

Trump’s people, including the self-important $hits from the State Deptm must STFU!

“Deals which SUCK”.

Because of small minds thinking small. As you are advocating.

Blow the quibbling off the table and replace it with a level of personal greed and largess unlike anything any of them have ever before experienced.

And, offer them a ratified treaty with a clause that guarantees the US will forever offer Kim and his top 100 asylum in the US and protection from the International Court in the Hague.

You know, for the crimes against humanity they have perpetrated over 75 years.

Think big.

Reunification with Seoul as the capital and the entire peninsula in the American orbit.

Or, annihilation.

The pre negotiation is also THE negotiation.

THEY have fissile material.

WE have hotel rooms.

Let’s do some horse-trading, Queens-style.

FINE —put it in a codicil, which is what they the DOS pukes do in 90% of cases ANYWAY.

And after we do that..?

Then we’ll, uh.....do some negotiating —SIMPLE.

You want sophisticated, legit and ineffective...?

Shucks, why not go whole hog and send ALBRIGHT up there..?

Lots of flash-bulbs and a glass-klinking toast, and everything.

Uh-huh, great.

Let his government foot the tab. WP isn’t news, it’s a soap-opera.

“Shucks, why not go whole hog and send ALBRIGHT up there..?”

I’m laughing.

Think small if you wish. Certainly that’s what US Intel is telling Trump.

Quibble.

He won’t.

True. The Norks just have to show up with their usual suitcases full of cash. They don’t need the banking system to pay their hotel bills.

Don’t think so small.
Offer a Marshall Plan and to move our SK troops to the Yalu river.

Give him the room. $6,000 is nothing in this negotiation.

Yep.

‘cept our troops on the Yalu.

We can say US troops will never cross the 38th as long as they keep their terms.

And tell ‘em China already agreed to foot 1/2 the bill for the Marshall Plan.

Then tell China.

Then next week let Seoul know they have to pick up the other half.
