LIVE THREAD: US-North Korea talks moving 'more quickly than expected'
The British Broadcasting Corporation ^ | June 11, 2018

The US says its discussions with North Korea are moving "more quickly than expected" ahead of the summit in Singapore on Tuesday.

The preliminary talks between officials have been taking place ahead of the unprecedented first meeting.

The White House also confirms that President Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un will hold a one-on-one meeting, with only translators present.

The outcome may determine the fate of North Korea's nuclear programme.

The US insists it will accept nothing less than complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.

North Korea has said it is willing to commit to denuclearisation, but that term is open to interpretation.

It is also unclear what concessions Pyongyang could demand in return - which makes the summit very hard to predict, according to analysts....

Bray.. Kim isn’t like dealing with a true leader...he’s the ‘face’ of a leader only....the military generals and certain ones in the cabinet controlled the nation...they’re now gone.

Trump handles him with care while at the same time allows him to ‘act’ out his role playing he’s accustomed to and was groomed for. So he’s stunted in many respects.

Trump has a fatherly look on his face...almost gentle and like he might feel a little sorry for the kid.

It appears Trump is helping him to ease the awkwardness.

Yes, I noticed how nervous he appeared when he first arrived. Then, as soon as they finally met, he seemed very comfortable.

I’m on my phone and Sprint is messing with coverage to ight...keepis dropping...arrgghh.

Kim said he’s gotten rid of 3 top military leaders that were in the way? Holy crap, that’s a BIG DEAL. That means he’s willing to take risks to make this happen.

Yuge.

Yes, but he also understands he needs to let Kim play the role he’s accustomed to role playing...the ‘face’ of NKorea as leader.

I think our guys went in and took out the nuke guys....and Kim arranged the military generals being taken out.

Chris Wallace, 1 hour and 13 minutes into the summit....

Keep in mind that North Korea has done nothing to denuclearize

What an idiot.

September 2017:

‘Asked whether there were any military options the United States could take with North Korea that would not put Seoul at grave risk, Mattis said: “Yes there are. But I will not go into details.”

‘Pressed on whether that might include so-called “kinetic” options that use lethal force, Mattis said: “I don’t want to go into that.”

Of course they would. They are radical lefties. What was reported today was the take of the odds makers—who know that.

“Trump has a fatherly look on his face...almost gentle and like he might feel a little sorry for the kid.”

I was hoping that when they emerged from their private meeting, Kim would be wearing a blue suit and a red power tie!
