    ".....Kim, in turn, has called Trump a “mentally deranged U.S. dotard,” a word suggesting senility....."

    It's all that military drilling whilst in the cadets. Finely tuned machine that fires out salutes on full auto.
    Be it North Koreans or Russians ol' Captain Bone Spurs will slap his forehead like the best lil toy soldier.

    Saluting political Islam with policy, policing, and dual standards is a mountain. Saluting a North Korean general after the general salutes you is a molehill. Reciprocity is an integral component of diplomacy.

  4. Garbage.

    It is equivalent to Hillary's email server if you go down that route. A possible breach of protocol giving material aid to an adversary vs an obvious one. The reality is even if someone has info from emails, they may not be able to use that information.

    NK TV replayed Donny's salute in slow motion. You clearly have no military experience, shifting goalposts in every post but everyone who has knows that was a massive breach of protocol. Whether politically left or right, the first reaction of anyone looking at that in the military was WTF?

    Also incredible disrespect to the soldiers on South Korea's side. It was not necessary, it goes to competence in the role. All he had to do was shake hands.

    Then it would also be an incredible disrespect to the North Korean soldiers to see their general salute the American president.

    This was a reciprocated gesture of diplomacy, maintaining, at worst, a posture of equality, avoiding the appearance of supremacy.

    That is quite different from offering a non-reciprocated bow to the King of a pernicious Islamic state, as in the case of Obama. And quite different from Brittain, exGOPer's homeland, bowing down to Islam in policy, in policing, and in dual standards.

    Just as you are misrepresenting a taller Trump facilitating the reception of some honorary medal from a smaller, weaker King of an Islamic state, you are misrepresenting the North Korean salute of an American civilian president during diplomacy.

    And you, as a Brit, are misrepresenting just how much your statesmen are bending over forwards to offer policy, policing, and dual standards to your rising, over-lords-to-be.
