You poor thing.
You are really eaten up inside, and it’s obvious.
Not one single president in the last 30 years has attempted to negotiate with North Korea to get it to stop it’s nuclear arms and long range missile programs.
Those negotiations were run by such stalwart negotiators as Jimmy Carter and Madeline Albright.
Trump has tried to put a positive face on it, and you jump up and down like a three year old who has just been told they can’t have candy until after dinner.
So what if Trump and others talked of a Nobel? I don’t think they expected to get it until something tangible happened. I’m sure you would like to think so.
This is all still fluid, and every ripple that comes along, you post nonsense and insults to the Trump team as if they should have completed in a year what nobody has been able to fix in thirty.
Please remind us what and how Obama did on this issue.
Please remind us what and how Bush did on this issue.
Please remind us what and how Clinton did on this issue.
Trump has met with the man face to face. He has tried to put the carrot out front and get Kim to bite.
To this tactic, you whine and insult him.
Do I need to remind you of this every couple of weeks?
He had to try. Now it’s time for the stick.
Look I’d be sore and angry too if I peddled all this hyper optimism narrative and things started to unravel as they were only destined to because of the simple nature of whom we are dealing with. Cannot be befriended. Cannot respected. Cannot be “loved.” Cannot be absolved of dastardly crimes against Otto Warmbier. Cannot be expected to stand down their own military just because US unilaterally cancels US-ROK joint training on a sudden twitter fluke without even consulting his own stunned military. (Now suppose YOU, tell us who did all those things.)
They are precisely taking these provocations because they themselves have misread the intent that should never have been communicated to them . They thought they had a wide berth and the confidence and friendship of the POTUS. Now where possibly on earth could they have gained that impression and view of the situation.
On your side and others, unfortunately, embarrassingly but forgivingly, nonsense 24/7 for months on end who blindly got on the appeasement bandwagon... one big stupid circus and of all places on a conservative, anti-communist forum. You can’t make this stuff up .
Excellent post Doughty.
Good post, D1.
