Obozo would have sent his SoS, with either suitcases full of cash or James Taylor.

Exactly. Donaldus Magnus (I'm not shy about comparing him to Reagan and even saying he's a better president) is about America First and about true peace and prosperity, plain and simple. He doesn't give a crap about whether anyone will criticize or ridicule his foreign policy. This will all turn out fine. Tune out Fox and the MSM and watch what happens.

China, Russia, N Korea they’re all waiting for the Fall elections. Would make sense. Trump should jump all over this.

“Hey, we tried.”

One of the biggest shocks to the world order in decades will be when US forces strike Norklandia, despite their nukes and in the face of dire Chinese warnings of war.

Earth shattering.

Afterward every US diplomatic initiate will be smooth sailing.

It may turn into a real stinker too, but we can’t let North Korea have nukes and the missiles to deliver them to the U. S.

I agree with your take on things.

“It may turn into a real stinker too, but we can’t let North Korea have nukes and the missiles to deliver them to the U. S.”

Their goal was to become an existential threat to the US.

They will never be allowed to cross that threshold.

No matter what.

An operational Norklandian ICBM with a deliverable nuke will never happen.

It's entirely plausible that NK is slowing down/stopping any progress they may have been making to dismantle, due to what they see in our media and that from around the world.

Perhaps they believe Trump will be run out of office in the near term, and therefore no need to proceed with what Kim promised Trump.

If they are indeed stopping their dismantling, I blame the media, the dems and the never Trumpers.

I agree, as long as Trump has time to fix things.

Agreed. Not only the mid-terms, but all the hysteria they see in our media about impeaching / removing / jailing Trump.

Do you blame them? They’re targeting tariffs to hit states that voted for Trump.

Trump should make this an issue, and call out people to vote more than ever.

Li’l Kim’s waiting to see if Dems take out Trump and go back to coddling America’s enemies.

Exactly

True.

To counter this, I think Trump needs to remind Lil’ Kim that one fully loaded B-52 can destroy his entire military apparatus in the space of an hour.

Actually, I blame the Democrats and Deep State (one and the same) for pulling the stupid crap they pulled this week with the MSM (again, one and the same). RocketBoy probably thought Trump was in a weakened position and is seeing what advantage he can take.

This is one reason why Trump shouldn’t just bide his time, he should hit his domestic enemies so hard they can’t think straight. Release the FISA docs, start lopping off heads.

Its because of our inept government and past presidents that Russia and China have as much leverage over North Korea as they do now and that Kim Jong Un can financially function.

Why sigh? This is great news. Trump has removed NK as a bargaining chip for China just as Xi needs one the most, let the real Chinese leaders (military) put him in his place first, get him to revoke the tariffs he had no business imposing in the first place lifted (already in process) and then Trump and Pompeo can attend to Mr. Kim. Note who Trump is respectful to - this is the best leverage he’s likely to every have over China and he’s going to use it to fix a lot of the trade issues and show Xi just who’s the global economic superpower.

Part of the plan, art of the deal. Will be rescheduled in short order and whiplash the left and MSM.

The Kim dynasty, at least the current Kim and his father, were puppets who were controlled by greater powers. They were essentially hostages to those powers. Trump is trying to cut the strings of the puppet masters. He’s only partially succeeded. Kim is not the problem. China still has the ability to influence events. POTUS understands this and undoubtedly has plans to deal with it. Patience.

Here’s a change. Clinton, then Bush kept looking to studiously ignore Little Kimmy’s lying and cheating. Trump calls it.
