“An “A” for just getting to the table.”

It’s something Norklandia has wanted for at least 40 years.

And all US Presidents refused without verifiable factors on the ground.

Still, I’m supportive of talking to these guys, seeing if we can prevent the cost of their destruction.

He is probably constantly uncomfortable. DJT said he doesn’t know how to buy pants.

Kim may not conform but Trump has more moves that he can and would make in that eventuality.

He’s a younger version of George will. He’s an idiot. I don’t waste five seconds reading or listening to him.

The problem for Jonah is he has been a never-Trumper from day one. So his credibility is zilch.

Jonah Goldberg is a very, very slow learner that being a never-Trumper is very,very bad for his economic future.

The left and #Nevertrump wants this to fail. I actually think this all may work out.

Hey Jonah, be careful who you call an "evil dictator". What about a oligarchy ruled by a Uniparty that attempts a coup on a duly elected government of the people. Is that an "evil dictatorship" How about a Deep State that sends young men and woman to war for no just cause?

Fantastic post!

If Kim plays his cards right he’ll be shitting in tall cotton.

just the fact that it happened is a great success that no other President has been able to pull off since 1954.

Both sides get A+ so far.
Let us hope they are both successful.

I concur. What it was was giving Kim the one thing he needed personally and domestically just to get a formal in-progress negotiation stage going - some respect on the international stage. Now he can go home and sell himself as even bigger than his father and grandfather, each of whom never met personally with any U.S. president. What Kim does with that everyone will have to wait and see. How much vigilence Donald Trump maintains in any details, everyone will also have to wait and see.

Let’s call complete and verifiable de-nucleariztion “the fat lady” and everyione knows it’s not over until the fat lady sings, if she ever does sing.

“— though not informing the Pentagon about this in advance strikes me as ill-advised).”

Gosh, it’s almost like he thinks the military must follow HIS orders! Doesn’t he know he needs to make sure he checks with them first?

And if the modern Pentagon doesn’t have it already, they need to acquire the skill set of learning to anticipate rapid changes in what they may be doing.
