A message from Kim Jong Un: “North Korea will stop nuclear tests and launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles.” Also will “Shut down a nuclear test site in the country’s Northern Side to prove the vow to suspend nuclear tests.” Progress being made for all! 11:22 PM · Apr 20, 2018
What’s going on behind the scenes with the ChiComs, South Koreans and Japanese is almost certainly the major factor here, and it’ll probably be a long time before we really get the inside scoop on that, but don’t underestimate Trump idiosyncrasies as a major factor here as well.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what an Obama or a Clinton or a Bush would do to lean on the Norks (essentially nothing of consequence), but who the hell knows what the Donald would do? Kim and his advisors have to be going bonkers trying to figure Trump out, and the Democrats and lib media, in trying to portray Trump as ill-informed and unhinged only add to the unease the Norks have to be feeling. And it would be just so wonderfully ironic if in trying to paint Trump as a dangerous madman the libs and the MSM unwittingly helped push through what would be an incredible foreign policy achievement for him.
They could not fathom anyone not verbally bowing down and scraping the floor with great adulation.
If Trump had not nicknamed him thusly, we'd still be ducking every time he fired a missile our way.
We’ll know where Rodman fits in when we see him on
the non-FOX networks and they broach the subject of
the Nobel Peace Prize.
I agree. I know I am being naive, but Kim Jong Un has a singular opportunity to achieve Korean unification and to bring his people out of an awful place. A denuclearized Korean federation with northern autonomy but an Asian/capitalist economy would be a nice beginning. See, East Germany 1989.
Why not?
Remember, Rocket Man and my button is bigger than yours but works, is just not helpful and takes away from the message. You’re supposed to do it like the Bushes, Clinton’s and McCains. Dur.
Thanks SMGFan.
Agree. Earthshaking blockbuster historic...
If it happens and comes to fruition, watch the media. No way they can ignore a story of this scale. Lets hope they once again make complete asses out of themselves.
Don, do not accept their “vow.” They will be back in business the moment you retire.
It will be world changing.
The Fake News won’t report it, too busy with breathless Stormy coverage.
Me, too.
Just taken off sanctions? No $$$?
Yes.
That's a good compromise
I just care that a human is trying to help the starving NK.
stunning...astonishing.,if true.
A Message from Kim Jong Un: North Korea will stop nuclear tests and launches of ICBMs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
OMG! This is so horrible, what happened to Rocketman’s strategic patience?( Sarc.)
We can’t let Trump have this win, bomb Pyong Yang NOW!(sarc.)
"Trust, but verify."
2020, here we come!! Plus, the world will see in horrid detail the ghastly results of communism as aid groups move in, and broken malnourished people stream out. Truly revealing for all Americans — especially for young people in our colleges and universities who think communism is “cool,” and for the democRats who love Cuba and openly assert they want to be called “Socialists.” A PR coup and “teachable moment” victory for free market Capitalism and the American way. Go, Mr. President!!
