President Donald Trump has agreed to meet directly with the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, in what could be the biggest breakthrough in the tense nuclear saber-rattling that has defined the president’s stance since taking office.
The invitation from the North Korean dictator was announced at the White House by South Korea’s national security adviser, who reported that North Korea also agreed that in the interim it would halt its missile tests and was prepared to negotiate ending its nuclear weapons program altogether.With all the focus on more important things, like which unknown low level Trump advisory might have met with which unknown low level random person from some other country... it seems we forget about the fact that we have actual real world issues that need to be resolved. Moreover, these real world issues will not be resolved by Robert Mueller or more investigations.
Now we have no clue exactly what Jong Un is up to. Perhaps he just wants to hang out with Trump, play a round of golf, and have sex with a porn star? Or perhaps he really does want to negotiate some agreement with the rest of the free world that would include both some form of denuclearization of North Korea for some economic aid and removal of sanctions.
Time will tell, but I promise you this: if Kim Jong Un reached out to Obama and wanted to talk denuclearization, the world would have already nominated and presented Obama with a life time Nobel Peace Prize achievement award.

Well they already gave Obama a peace prize, for doing nothing.
But a Mooch said on Fox and Friends, they would rather commit hari kari than give Trump the peace prize.
CNN's erin burnett had the audacity to say: If Trump solves the North Korea problem he "would be going down as a great president, and there's no way around that."
liberal heads are exploding like watermelons being shot with an AR-15.
The pain on her face when she said that was quite visible.
Everyone would like to see Korea de-nuclearized. Odds are, Kim Yong Un is buying time until his next nuclear and ballistic missile tests, and trying to set up for some exorbitant demands. So let's not get carried away just yet.
So let's not get carried away just yet.
the only people i'm seeing getting carried away so far are the liberals getting the vapors over erin burnett's comments.
I think the only people that are getting carried away are liberals setting up straw men to knock them down.
Nobody going into this with rose-colored glasses.
However, this is the first time Kim as offered to give up his nukes.
Obama couldn't get him to do that.
For the usual conservative rags:
Why the hell are we standing down? Michael, can you help us understand?
But Wallander and Daniel’s bosses at the White House were not on board. One day in late August, national security adviser Susan Rice called Daniel into her office and demanded he cease and desist from working on the cyber options he was developing. “Don’t get ahead of us,” she warned him. The White House was not prepared to endorse any of these ideas. Daniel and his team in the White House cyber response group were given strict orders: “Stand down.” She told Daniel to “knock it off,” he recalled.
Daniel walked back to his office. “That was one pissed-off national security adviser,” he told one of his aides.
At his morning staff meeting, Daniel matter-of-factly said to his team that it had to stop work on options to counter the Russian attack: “We’ve been told to stand down.” Daniel Prieto, one of Daniel’s top deputies, recalled, “I was incredulous and in disbelief. It took me a moment to process. In my head I was like, ‘Did I hear that correctly?'” Then Prieto spoke up, asking, “Why the hell are we standing down? Michael, can you help us understand?” Daniel informed them that the orders came from both Rice and Monaco. They were concerned that if the options were to leak, it would force Obama to act. “They didn’t want to box the president in,” Prieto subsequently said.
Yeah, Trump was definitely a national security upgrade.
They were concerned that if the options were to leak, it would force Obama to act.
just like with the syria red line and countless other serious situations.
all skeets was ever good for was campaigning and leading from behind.
"Now we have no clue exactly what Jong Un is up to."
Nor does Trump. We, at least, know that. Does he?
James Boswell of Normal, Illinois is a pedophile.
Who Are the North Korea Experts in the White House?
First Read: “The North Korea talks mean that Trump has to keep National Security Adviser HR McMaster, right? MSNBC reported that the White House has been preparing to replace McMaster as early as in April.
"Well, it would be VERY hard to do that now. Also, THERE IS NO AMBASSADOR TO SOUTH KOREA OR ANY REAL NORTH KOREAN EXPERTS WORKING INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE. Who on Trump’s team has experience in knowing how to deal with North Korea and Kim Jong Un?”
Loretta is a twerp.
Trump Never Won College-Educated White Voters
Nate Cohn: “After Donald J. Trump’s upset victory in the 2016 presidential election, one data point from the network exit polls jumped out at analysts: his two-point win among college-educated white voters. Many pre-election polls had suggested they would favor Hillary Clinton. And now, more than a year later, polls again show Mr. Trump with striking weakness among well-educated white voters, implying he has alienated many who backed him in 2016. But it is increasingly clear that there’s another explanation: The exit polls were wrong.”

Well this was an intelligent thoughtful thread until James came.
Here are some intelligent, thoughtful comments just for Commensa:
Who Stands to Gain from North Korea-U.S. Meeting?
Financial Times:
On the surface, it is a win-win situation for all leaders.
Mr. Trump demonstrates that his signature foreign policy initiative is making headway.
Mr. Kim garners domestic prestige and the international spotlight from meeting a U.S. president for the first time.
[South Korean President Moon Jae-in] reaps the rewards of successful diplomacy and the benefits of reduced tension on the Korean peninsula, which months ago appeared close to conflict.
Trouble may arise later, however, if talks begin to flounder.
Likelihood of success: For Mr. Kim, simply hosting the meeting will count as a success as it will generate prestige and legitimacy for the reclusive regime.
For the U.S. leader, the equation is more complex. Experts are skeptical that Pyongyang will genuinely give up its nuclear programme, which it views as a deterrent to US aggression.
The regime may promise to do so but history shows it has a poor record of upholding such pledges.
____________
Playbook: “This isn’t like guns or health care or immigration, where Trump can say one thing, believe another and let the issue fade to the background. This is a rogue nuclear state. The entire planet will be watching these talks. The stakes couldn’t be higher.”
More empty spam.
Intelligent, actually.
"More empty spam."
Can you imagine his stench?
However, this is the first time Kim as offered to give up his nukes.
I don't think that he IS offering to, not under any conditions. He wants something else, and he believes that his nuclear weapons give him leverage in the negotiation for it.
"Well this was an intelligent thoughtful thread until James came."
There's a reason he was canned and can only find work as an assistant pastor...
"He wants something else, and he believes that his nuclear weapons give him leverage in the negotiation for it."
He doesn't want to end up like Gaddafi.
according to MSDNC's morning joKe, this whole north korean thing was done just to distract from stormy daniels.
I don't think that he IS offering to
Well tell that to the South Koreans. They communicated that offer to Trump.
However, I'm sure that would be some strings attached.
Already the White House is trying to walk back some of Trump's incautious remarks.
Whoops,put that last comment in the wrong thread.
But that caused me to see this.
The only stench here is Liar-etta's lies.
I was never canned and have never been nor am I now an "assistant" pastor.
am now an "ass" pastor.
