LIVE THREAD: US-North Korea talks moving 'more quickly than expected'
The British Broadcasting Corporation ^ | June 11, 2018

The US says its discussions with North Korea are moving "more quickly than expected" ahead of the summit in Singapore on Tuesday.

The preliminary talks between officials have been taking place ahead of the unprecedented first meeting.

The White House also confirms that President Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un will hold a one-on-one meeting, with only translators present.

The outcome may determine the fate of North Korea's nuclear programme.

The US insists it will accept nothing less than complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.

North Korea has said it is willing to commit to denuclearisation, but that term is open to interpretation.

It is also unclear what concessions Pyongyang could demand in return - which makes the summit very hard to predict, according to analysts....

They appeared to be speaking to each other when they first shook hands facing each other.

Given Kim’s Swiss education, a western language was certainly part of it.

The V shaped bit ?
I’d only be guessing, but perhaps some of that rubberized stealth coating stuff needs patching ?
Or maybe the V itself IS a patch previously applied.

Maybe one of our sub FReepers can chime in . . .

Kim speaking... “The past and the old prejudices and practices

work as obstacles to our way forward but we overcame all of

them and we are here today.”

Delightful and insightful!

I am particularly pleased with Kim’s statement.

How about you?

I’m watching coverage on a youtube channel called Channel NewsAsia. I’ve never seen it before but it seems pretty balanced.

Wow, I hope Kim really means that. I get the impression he wants to be part of the modern world and that he likes Western ways.

Those shirts would go well with the “Make North Korea Not a Sh!thole Again” hats I’m thinking about offering.

Indeed!

Their statements are perfect, particularly Kim’s.

I don’t know. And I’m not saying that’s what happened in NK. I’m just saying we certainly have the technology and capability.

That would make sense. The rubber outer layer for sound-proofing. It has cracked, at least right there. Good call.

My pleasure.
Like you, I quickly tire of Fox News Channel’s shenanigans.

Too many of the hosts have forgotten the shows are NOT about them and their damn comments.

Me too. Kim’s statement could be used at home to encourage opening NK up, and I *choose* to think that was his intent.

“What’s next?

The two leaders will now meet behind closed doors.

It will be just the two of them with two interpreters for around 45 minutes, when more of their staff will join them for “expanded bilateral meetings” and a working lunch.

Mr Trump is expected to address the media before he leaves later today.”

CNN has Rodman on for commentary LOL! What a douchebag of a network!

Dennis DOES have a MAGA hat on though.
