I'm sceptical this will work out.

One, we don't know what Kim will actually do.

Two, Bolton will likely do what he can to derail the talks. Rumour is he did so last time.

I don't think Bolton has ever met a war he didn't like.

From what I can tell, he's the modern-day Conrad von Hötzendorf.

According to my cards Trump is going to lose any possible influence over everyone's favorite North Korean Dictator.

The dark King of Spades (Kim Jong Un) does not suffer greedy fools like the King of Clubs (Donald Trump) lightly.

In 2016, we were told by the 'experts' that Trump was a blood-thirsty madman, itching for war. There was a TV add for Clinton showing a hot headed Trump with his finger on the button. Mushroom clouds! He was supposed to start WW3 with Russia, Iran and North Korea by now.

Apparently, the narrative has shifted and we're now being told by that Trump is 'coddling up' to dictators, that he's trying too hard to be friendly, that he's going to roll over and allow the U.S. to be taken advantage of.

Experts indeed.

If President Obama had stepped into NK, he would have received a 2nd Nobel Peace Prize, and a bust on Mount Rushmore.

That's why it's just best ignore the hysterical liberal press who have only praised Trump when he bombed Syria. Best to get real news from independent sources.

What do unification even mean for Korea? South Korean peoples will never accept been governed by the North Korean regime and losing their freedom and prosperity, while the North Korean government will never accept to lose their power.
What is blocking the unification is not the US, this is the ideological incompatibility between both Korean governments, and this is not some token gestures that will change that.

Yet Trump seem to really want a war with Iran.

So I was wrong about Trump getting tossed aside by Kim Jong Un. I thought I pulled a King of Clubs when I actually pulled a Jack of Clubs.

That must have been his press secretary who got roughed up by security on his way into the country. :lol:

That's absolute garbage. It's North Korea who will have to adapt.
