Jimmy Carter reportedly wants to discuss 'permanent peace' with North Korea's Kim Jong Un

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has reportedly said he would be prepared to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in an attempt to bring "permanent peace" to the Korean Peninsula.

"Should former President Carter be able to visit North Korea, he would like to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and discuss a peace treaty between the United States and the North, and a complete denuclearization of North Korea," Park Han-shik, professor of international affairs at the University of Georgia, said in an interview published by South Korea's JoongAng Daily on Tuesday.

Park claimed that Carter visited his home at the end of September and told him that he wanted to "contribute toward establishing a permanent peace regime on the Korean Peninsula."

Carter's comments could further aggravate President Donald Trump after media reports surfaced last month which said a senior U.S. state department official had been sent by the White House to ask Carter not to speak publicly about the geopolitical crisis.

Jimmy don’t know which way is up. What spirit does he operate from?

I predict that when Carter returns from N. Korea, he will be brain dead.

Jimmy was and is pro-abortion.

I.e., he was never a “good person.”

Jimmy is a good person. Jimmy was a terrible President. Jimmy doesn’t have any common sense.

Many years ago I shared a few beers with Billy Carter in Atlanta (on several occasions). Obviously, he was a "Good Ole'Boy" and a free talker... He spoke of his Brother as a "Naive Dreamer" who would been in poverty were it not for Rosalyn. She evidently kept the Carter Peanut Warehouse afloat while Jimmy was recruited for higher plains by various "Operators".

To this date he remains a dreamer, a good person seeking a better world, ignoring the real world!

Once Jimmah is over there, pull his passport and strand him there.

Jimmy’s permanent Peace will be when he is six feet under and we don’t ever have to hear from this jerk again.

Jimmy, you're not Neville Chamberlain you just play him in a senile dream.

Questions: Why didn't you end the Korean War when Kim Il Sung still ruled the NORKS and you were President? Why didn't you end the Korean War in 1994 when you met with Kim Il Sung six months before he died?

Carter will NEVER go to N. Korea as a a representative of the U.S. Government, if he’s allowed to go at all.

Note the discussions of possible military actions have been reving up. Suddenly Jimmy wants to be in North Korea. Where it would then become impossible to drop bombs on a former president. I think he’s trying to become a human shield to save North Korea. And I wouldn’t trust him not to go without permission in order to save the world. And get another Nobel Peace Prize.

He isn’t even a good person, IMO. He is petty and vengeful

I witnessed that once. He "tore into" an older Navy submarine vet who questioned him at a press conference. Out and out lied, and in a demeaning manner. And that's putting in nicely. In modern-speak, he's a "virtue signaling jerk!"

When is this old bastard going to drop dead? For Gods sake he’s been hanging around planet Earth like a raccoon in a trash dumpster.

I can see that. You figure he would be somewhat collegial with a sub vet, having something in common, supposedly.

I had to serve in the USN while he was President, and boy, did I ever envy the guys who got to serve under Reagan...

Hillary Clinton thinks she “let down the world” and Jimmy Carter thinks he can go to North Korea and bring in utopia by explaining to rocket man what is wrong with the United States.

PLEASE violate the Hyde Amendment. It’ll be another stain on your already dirty record, Carter.

Jimmy is a horrible person with a nice smile.
Jimmy was a horrible President.
Jimmy doesn’t know his arse from a hole in the ground.
Jimmy wrote some nice poetry about growing up in rural Georgia, once.

Fixed.
