    So their opinion is different than McCain and Graham? Its funny how Trump managed to turn the left from pacifists into war mongerers. Thats quite the slide the left has made.

    Now tell me, what has the U.S. actually given up at this point?

    How do you propose "Peace" talks in north korea should work, should we drop a couple nukes to let them know whats up?

  4. I'm not the expert. Read what they said in brief in the piece. I won't presume to explain it better. Meanwhile, are you saying Trump did good? Are you proud of his performance?

  5. So seat-of-the-pants concessions or outright war are the only options? How black & white. You'd think an artiste of the deal would be capable of a little more nuance.

    I read the article i also read the actual agreement, the only thing the U.S. is committed to at this point is stopping phoney missions over North Korea....... the U.S. still has a base with 40,000 troops in South Korea, how hard do you think it is to turn that shit back on?

    What is your proposition for peace?

    Maybe we should secretly airlift Kim Jong Un pallets full of 100 dollar bills like obozo did in Iran.

  7. I don't pretend to be an expert on the matter. Rather, I am aware of the rather uniform criticism of people far more knowledgeable than I am in the area. As an aside, I also try not to second-guess the general consensus of medical experts. I guess it's in my nature not to automatically assume I know better than anyone and everyone when they address matters in which they are expert.

    Shocking...... so a bunch of "Military experts," on CNN, the same idiots who got us into Iraq, the same ones who got us fucked in Iran, they have a problem with it..... well color me shocked.

    Neocons like lindsay Graham who have led this charge literally called for bombing North Korea if they dont cooperate.

    Its funny seeing the left contort itself on this one, people who were pacifists at one point have now become neocons based on Trump.

  10. W wanted to go into Iraq, and he kept saying go back and find me evidence. You know this to be true. So now you want to dismiss the collective knowledge of the military and go with a seat-of-the-pants guy? Well, his companies went bankrupt and he left countless stakeholders holding the bag. He was this close to being personally insolvent by his own admission. What about them apples? And that was in his chosen field! And now you're gonna trust HIS judgment over that of the people who at least have a clue about what they're doing? I mean, seriously? As I said, love is blind.
