And Nobel being Nobel, they will give the award to Kim, of course, or Elizabeth Warren so she has cred for her 2020 run. I'm not sure. I would say they're both short.

I just have very little faith in NK doing being genuinely forthcoming. of course, after all the Dems handing over everything to the Soviet Union, Iran, Cuba, North Korea for decades simply TRUSTING they will hold their end of the bargain, this is a major diplomatic accomplishment. As you are mostly on the right side of things this wasn't meant as an attack on you, just a question of deflating the impossible becoming possible. Still miles to go before we sleep.

3rdnlng Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 With all that China is trying to accomplish they may have pushed NK towards disarming, with the hopes or promises that the U.S. would reduce or remove our troops.

A legit concern. China is 100% expansionist. But that would mean we sold out the South, and I don't think S. Korea or the US have lost sight of China. Then again, just because Trump is a dealmaker doesn't mean he's a good dealmaker. Interesting times.
Wacka Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Again ,an example of people not knowing or remembering history. The Korean War was ended. We had pushed right up to the Chinese border. Then the Chinese came flowing into the country and almost drove us out of there. We retaliated until thee current borders. Don'tthe ignorant even remember M*A*S*H ? Remember them being scared about the chinese advancing? Edited April 28, 2018 by Wacka
row_33 Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Truman inherited FDRs “gentlemen” advisors who set up a path such that the US, starting with Korea, would engage in war with more civilized and beta goals than actually winning the war.

I think that both Kim and Moon would like the US troops to leave.
snafu Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Maybe we can build some phony islands in the S. China Sea and put the troops there.
