Condoleezza Rice to Donald Trump: Let Experts Handle North Korea Details
Breitbart ^ | 05/01/18 | Joel Pollak

Posted on 05/02/2018 6:35:17 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Tuesday morning that President Donald Trump should not engage directly in the details of negotiation with North Korea.

“First of all, don’t try to negotiate the details with Kim Jong-un,” Rice told Fox & Friends. “Leave that for people who understand all the nuances of the situation.”

Rice noted that she was the last American to negotiate with the North Korean regime, when she was dealing with Kim Jong-un’s father, Kim Jong-il.

“You have to give the [Trump] administration a lot of credit,” she said, for pressuring China to rein in the Kim regime and for using the threat of military force to isolate North Korea.

However, she said, the president should leave the nuts-and-bolts of diplomacy to others, even though he would be meeting directly with Kim Jong-un at a summit in the coming weeks. And she warned that the Kim regime was still a murderous one with a track record of breaking its promises.

Rice said she supported the Trump administration’s move toward pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal.

“I actually think if we pull out now, it is not going to be the disaster everybody is talking about,” she said. “I would not have signed this deal. I don’t think it was a very good deal. I think we were in a hurry to get a deal and we left a lot on the table. … If we get out of this deal, it is going to be just fine.”

Asked whether she wanted to leave the Iran deal, Rice said: “I would probably have stayed in for alliance management purposes but … if the president decides to pull out of the deal I have no argument with that.”

Forget that. Trump should challenge Lil Kim to settle it all over an arm wrestling match or high stakes poker game. Do it in front of all the cameras when they meet up.

Kim can’t refuse or he’d look like a weak baby and probably get deposed.

I remember when Freerepublic was all GaGa over Condi Rice and Colin Powell. Half the people here wanted Farrakhan’s buddy, Colin Powell to run for president.... as a republican!

Yep, I remember that too, sickening. I think a lot of that was virtue signaling,which unfortunately, is not for leftists only.

Condi, the American people judge people based ON RESULTS - not on “understanding all nuances”...or ‘intentions’ or on how well they ‘apologize’ or if they deeply ‘empathize with Biden’s son’s death’.... That’s pure BS - Washington DC drawing-room style crapola.

We’ve seen Deep State ‘nuances’ and we’ve rejected it... all of it. It’s why Trump is President and the two bit insider money grubber is NOT.

Thanks for your input, Ms. Rice, and yes, you get another 5 minutes of fame.

Ow, go home and make some bologna sammies.

Condi is just another New World Order globalist.

Thay also describes her boss, Dubya. Didn’t he also attend one or more of the Bilderberger gatherings?

I lost what little respect I had for Colon Powell, though I knew very little about him at the time, when he “cut the line” to claim credit for the success of Desert Storm.

Anyone who was paying attention KNEW the success belonged to the plans and leadership of General “Stormin’ Norman” Schwarzkoph and SecDef Donald Rumfeld!
