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....

I think they’re made of Tungsten steel.

The Donald should make Rocketman a deal he can’t refuse:

“All nukes, nuke building and missile building sites and launch pads must be DESTROYED by the United States.” Too much smoke and mirrors with so called, “inspections.”

I also think Kimmy’s wife and sister are pushing Kimmy. Give Kimmy McDonald’s all over his country inside a Walmart. Roll on President Trump... I live winning and just hate to loss...

The USS James E Carter flew a Jolly Roger flag when they returned to port. On 12/4/17 Korea had a big boom. There are no coincidences.

There are some things the US can and should do

You can call them concessions. I call it putting the defense of SoKo in their hands

I’ve been reading a lot of articles on kinetic bombardment platforms. Fascinating stuff and certainly possible. The technology involved is not that complicated.

That’s usually how it’s one. Henry Kissinger and Chou En Lai hammered out the China to Nixon thing before Nixon got on a plane.

It’s a good thing the cameras were leveled on his face, because I imagine he was, at the same time pi$$ing himself. You just have to wonder what’s wrong with the voters in both Canada and the US that the elect the likes of Trudeau and Obola. Just think of all the years we have wasted in this century alone, with the Boosh and Obola “P-residencies.” Just think about what these two worthless a$$holes did to our national debt, and even more importantly, to the loss of life of our young people for which they are responsible in their ME “military adventure.” Going into the ME has been like kicking a hornet’s nest.

Trump’s secret weapon has always been being underestimated

Yep, oddly enough the hate from the media and Dems has always helped Trump - go figure.

Going into the ME not intending to win was kicking a hornet's nest.

1) they are bullshi**ing

-or-

2) they are REALLY getting low on food.

I suspect China might not let #2 happen because the riots would not be good.

Trump and Kim are going to meet privately for 2 hours using translators.

I bet those translators will never be seen or heard from again after that. But there families will likely be well compensated.

The Golden Arches Theory was debunked when the U.S. bombed Serbia in the late 1990s in support of the radical Islamic insurgency in Kosovo.
