Tiberius Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 Baghdad Bob Trump is back howling at the moon again “Sadly, the thing they do understand is Strength and Power,” he said. “Any attack by Iran on anything American will be met with great and overwhelming force. In some areas, overwhelming will mean obliteration!”
B-Man Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 DAVID MARCUS: Why Trump’s Cyber Attack On Iran Was The Right Move. “Cyber attacks are the future of warfare. By launching one against Iran, Trump has increased the threat to Iran without plunging the United States into war.” .
B-Man Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 WALTER RUSSELL MEAD SAYS TRUMP KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING ON IRAN: Mr. Trump’s approach to American diplomacy horrifies an establishment that believes restraint, predictability and responsibility are the hallmarks of a global hegemon. Lesser powers can indulge in histrionic grandstanding, clownish antics, outrageous claims and public tantrums. The hegemon exhibits power by rising above such tawdry tricks. This is not the Trump approach. Given the foreign policy establishment’s sorry record over the last few decades, that’s probably just as well. 2
Buffalo_Gal Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 I don't think Central American corruption is shocking to anyone. I'm not sure why this means "economic asylum seekers" are a problem that United States citizens should have to deal with, however. 3
B-Man Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 TRACKING U.S.-DPRK RELATIONS ON THE 69TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE KOREAN WAR: Overall, President Trump appears to still maintain a healthy amount of mistrust of Kim Jong-un, refusing to remove troops from the Korean peninsula and maintaining all sanctions. Secretary of State Pompeo embodies this mistrust when he underlines that there will be no sanction relief until the complete, verifiable denuclearization of North Korea. As President Trump continues to engage with Supreme Leader Kim, he must stand his ground and never give too much, or else he risks threatening what the U.S. did to help South Korea 69 years ago. Read the whole thing. .
Tiberius Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Europe still holding Obamas nuclear deal together and keeping Iran from the bomb More talking, less threatening is good. “Iran appeared to have at least temporarily backed away from its ultimatum on breaching the 2015 nuclear deal, as European nations made last-ditch efforts to salvage what remains of the multilateral accord and avert a slide toward war.”
Buffalo_Gal Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Who is staying up until 2am eastern?U.S. President Donald Trump is set to visit the demilitarized zone (DMZ) separating North and South Korea on Sunday, hoping for a third encounter with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to revive stalled nuclear talks. 3

Hedge Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) ~50 seconds in. "I've been told that KJU would like to meet and it looks like they are in final stages of working out just a very quick meeting" Currently a live event, where President Trump has mentioned the upcoming DMZ visit with KJU: 11:05PM Pacific: 11:45PM Pacific: The handshake happened.
