Predictable Friday Leak: U.S. and North Korea Have Been Talking Via Back-channels For Months…
The Last Refuge ^ | August 12, 2017 | sundance

Posted on 08/12/2017 6:19:14 AM PDT by Bratch

It must be weird for the ordinary person around the world to view U.S. politics through the prism of the American MSM lügenpresse.  We’re often left wondering if international observers realize how much deception and fraud exists in media broadcasts of President Trump.

However, that said, a few days ago CTH predicted via twitter that Friday would bring a “breaking news” revelation that President Trump’s administration had been in ongoing negotiations with North Korea.  Today, exactly that happened.

[...]

These back-channel discussions were/are entirely predictable because negotiation is the forté of President Trump’s entire life’s repertoire.  It’s just how he rolls.  Negotiation is what gets Donald Trump’s autonomic disposition engaged.

However, that said, understanding the conversation has been going on for a lengthy period of time should also solidify to everyone the public words -and strategic approach- toward China, via North Korea, is exactly what CTH has always held it to be; which is to say, part of a long-term economic strategy.

A great deal of President Trump’s negotiation tactics are for public consumption. They are positioned to help us understand who the domestic and international adversaries really are, expose them, and help us understand who and what we’re really dealing with.  If we  tune out the chaff and countermeasures from the lügenpresse the real challenge clarifies.

Yes, it’s all about the economics.

Winter is on it’s way and every time North Korea gets low on fuel coal food they play it’s game for a pay off looks like the game is over and about time.

As I see it, the problem is that N Korea can sell the nukes to Boco Haram, Isis, Al Qaida and of others. They just want the money and the prestige.

I wouldn't be surprised if all this blustering is for show while they work out a deal behind the scenes. Nobody wants a nuclear war.

If President Trump actually does make a deal that resolves the situation, you can bet the MSM will spin it as selling out to NK.

Its hardly a leak since everyone except the media knows this is how things work. Probably intentionally released info to shift the focus back to negotiation.

China has been involved for decades spending political $$$ in the USA. They started the environmental movement and our factories didn't move to Russia but to China. Always follow the money.

Trump needs to drain the cesspool which is Washington.

Yes. The recent miniaturization of their nukes if correct also makes it easier for them to launder nukes through ISIS and other useful idiots.

I am certain that North Korea is “negotiating” in a “back channel” the same way Japan was in December 1941.

The dictators have too much invested, in every sphere of life in North Korea, with the ethos of the dictatorship and what it means. Going quietly into a bright economic future at peace with an independent South Korea are NOT any part of that ethos. And taking that route will cause fissures, socially, among a population who would come to realize all they have been indoctrinated with was lies. Positive change will not be as it was for China, it will be the death of the dictatorship from within, and the current dictator understands that.

All North Korea is “negotiating” for is one thing - stalling.

Nothing recent about the miniaturization. Obama was told of this capability by the CIA in 2013, but he chose to do nothing about it. Now the media refuses to mention that this all happened on Obama’s watch. Go figure.

MSM, Maxine and every other Dem loud mouth has spent days, if not weeks, calling for Trump to negotiate. Trump sets their hair on fire with “locked and loaded”. They scream louder for negotiation.

Trump negotiates. MSM mutters “He doesn’t play fair.”
