“...I don’t see any reason for celebrating any sort of accomplishment because nothing has been accomplished.”
Most accurate of observations.
Newsies are working both sides of the street in portraying (setting up?) President Trump to be in a “go or blow” mode; great success or terrible failure. Other than along for the ride, President Moon’s role appears unclear.
Insofar as having potential to be the greater winner, my nickels on Kim. It’s his moment to become a significant personage in Korean - if not wider – history by encouraging normalization if not ultimate reunification. Surprisingly so, with political/economic terms that may be largely in his favor. Trick for Kim will be not getting too big for his britches in subsequent relations with China. Opportunity sometimes being in the moment, before day’s end, Kim will do well to consider Sun Tzu’s saying; “The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.” And hire a good spinmeister!
Totally agree. And as usual our reliably non credible media is using every opportunity available to trash Trump. To them it is a golden opportunity to bring out all the old chants about how inexperienced he is about how nobody has ever done it this way and how Obama was so wonderful with his massive foreign policy successes, and while the chances of Trump succeeding are probably in the 10 to 15% range, should he succeed it would be an outstanding achievement. Certainly a bit more auspicious than Obama’s receipt of the Nobel Prize for whatever he received it for. And of course should Trump succeed all of the pundits will by then just move on to another trash topic without ever acknowledging how completely wrong they were.
