  2. Pointless. What will happen is obvious and it gives the conman Trump a figleaf.

    Putin supplied a few 60s era rocket engines to engineer a 'crisis'.

    Time to check birth certificates for born yesterday. Long form.

  3. Yes. US has paid "ransom" over and over for them to NOT develop nukes. They took our money and developed them anyway. Now they'll want ransom money again, you can bet on it.

    The only solution is to require North Korea to turn over ALL of its nukes and missiles. Place permanent monitors from U.S. at each nuclear plant to ensure no material is being weaponized. Additionally North Korea must agree to stop all missile, nuclear weapon, and chemical/biological weapon development.

    Until they agree to these conditions the sanctions stay in place.

  6. I don't have the data to provide an answer. I might have some ideas but that is all. Time passes and things change, usually for the better.

    5 minutes before the indexes open & up 2.8k in 30 minutes of work... screw it, going for a walk in the sun, see a few pretty ladies at the coffee place.

    Pity Kim has other options. Notice how easily 'stolen' rocket engines got to N-K? What if poorly guarded something else got in the hands of someone wearing a tea-towel..

    Trump Referenced The Wrong Korea At Media Dinner: Report
    “President Trump did not have a call with the North Koreans,” a source told Yonhap News Agency.


    The National Security Council clarified on Monday that President Donald Trump did not have a call with North Korea last week, but rather, was referencing another interaction he’d had with the president of South Korea, a longtime ally of the United States.

    At a media dinner on Saturday, Trump spoke about North Korea and said he would not rule out direct talks with the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un. Tensions with Pyongyang have appeared to cool in recent weeks, and both North Korean and American officials have said they would be willing to open diplomatic channels.

    But Trump suggested that such talks had already begun, telling those gathered at the Gridiron Dinner in Washington, D.C., on Saturday that the North had “called up a couple of days ago and said, ‘We would like to talk.’”

    “And I said, ‘So would we, but you have to de-nuke, you have to de-nuke,’” Trump added.

    But he was apparently referencing the wrong Korea when he made those comments.

    An unnamed official on the National Security Council told South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency that “President Trump did not have a call with the North Koreans.” Rather, the official said Trump was referencing a call with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on March 1.

    A source provided the same clarification to Agency France-Presse. The White House did not immediately reply to HuffPost’s request for comment.

    It wouldn’t have made any sense for Trump to tell South Korea to “de-nuke” ― Seoul abandoned its nuclear weapons program decades ago ― so it’s not clear why the U.S. president would have presented his conversation that way.

  10. This is very promising news. I think Trump needs hios best people on this. To me, that means taking Jeff Sessions from the AG's role and naming him Special Ambassador for Peace in Korea.

    And then appoint Kris Kobach AG.
