to President Moon and the South Koreans for insisting on including NK's athletes and delegation into the recently concluded Olympics.
It was a brilliant diplomatic stroke and it apparently did what Kim Jong-Un wanted all alongto be included on the world stage.
trump stupidly agreed to the summit without getting a thing for it.
All that was probably on his mind was to get bad headlines off the news of Stormy Daniels and his other hastily un-thought out move, the tariffs.

(3,515 posts)China and Russia aren't the kind of threat to us that they were in the 1950s. That is very evident from the lack of interest in North Korea on the part of Americans on the internet.
North Korea would be wise to take advantage of this opportunity to make peace.

I don't know what Americans you have contact with but none that I inow of wants a nuke war with North Korea.

(3,515 posts)no quarrel with North Korea at the same time.
We mostly could care less about North Korea. We just don't want it bombing us.
But what North Koreans want to do as long as they leave us alone and don't spread terrible weapons around the world, Americans have no desire too interfere in North Korea or correct their horrible government.
We don't want North Korean bombs, but the American people are not all that anti-North Korea. We don't like the country's exporting its terrible weapons. That's the only problem we have with North Korea. And they should leave South Korea alone. South Korea's future should be decided by South Koreans.

(53,978 posts)in including NK in the Olympics seems to have softened Jung-Un, which only goes to show that diplomacy can work.
Of course that's lost on trump's addled brain.

(45,595 posts)If these leaders want to meet, there should be some assurances about ratcheting down tensions at the very least.

(9,766 posts)I view that as a good thing.
Not sure what else you're looking for before they all meet.

(45,595 posts)Trump is all talk. The no more missile test is a direct result of S Korean diplomacy. S Korea doesn't mind the two buffoons parading around as long as it makes them safer.

(9,766 posts)Time will tell. In the meantime, it's good that no more missiles are flying about.

(100,149 posts)You know he's the one pulling the strings in this whole thing. Denuclearize one threat and people will forget that he's got a giant smart missile called "Satan 2" aimed right at us. Classic bait and switch technique.
