I'd promise not to do anything Bolton would do.

Having a good National Security Advisor to join the National Security Council is very important. The SECDef and SECState also bring much to the table.
The NSC seems to have its hands full with all the problems in the world that affect the U.S. The problems have been clearly growing over the years. Better communication will, hopefully, come about. Dealing with these problems has become expensive in both monies and our citizens. |

I sat up most of the night watching it live and without wishing to appear to be overly cynical I can't help thinking to myself that this could be one of the biggest political con jobs for decades.
If Kim Jong-un gives up everything he has achieved despite the human sacrifices he has forced on his people during the whole sad process, I can see his military seeing that as a sign of weakness and bringing about change at the top. China must have given some serious guarantees around security and protection to him.

They sure looked like they were happy to me ...
Now for Trump and Kim to smile four or five weeks from now. Memorial Day weekend sounds about right. Boeing should give Kim a Boeing 777 for a peace treaty present so he can travel in style. Someone is praying (seeking God's perfect will) North Korea doesn't even believe in God, but a whole lot of people in South Korea do.

I think when Fatboy went to China he got his marching orders. Almost overnight it goes from hermit kingdom to international kumbaya moment. Promoting peace and prosperity on the Korean peninsula. Im wary of all this.
The benefit goes to China. Like I said earlier they are attempting to win the peninsula and region without firing a shot.

Rocketboy, I noticed that, too. Obviously, previous actions put caution into consideration. I also saw some talk of NK getting into dire straits financially.
The economics, military and sanctions all have taken a toll. I think the U.S. hardliners have moved NK into a corner and China said no to a bailout. China also wants stability on the pennisula. I hope SK is talking relief and unification pending a secure and isolated retirement for KJU. I hope Trump keeps a hard line with Japan, SK, and China's support. Obviously, those same countries need to assume responsibility for NK's problems. |

It could be combination of several things that have made KJU talkable
Where the lasted comment from Aktungbby could be one of them I hope it will bring freedom and prosperity to the North Korean people. Markus |

Kim did not say "denuclearization" himself, not a single time. Its always the others saying it - those who want him to say it, that is. But he didn't. Its like a parrot trying to make his human owner talk what the parrot wants.
Its not the first time that NK and SK are at this point, and things look rosy and promising. See what has come of it. Words are cheap, symbolic acts are just symbolic acts - dust and shadow. I believe in the better new world when I see it being there. Mind you, the man everybody now is applauding and wants to sign treaties with, is a murderer, torturer and warmongerer, who lets his people starve and suffer, and abuses millions of innocent people mentally and physically. And one wants to trust such a wicked man all of a sudden? Sounds like a hopeless case of chamberlainitis major to me. Go ahead, for heavens sake, if you think that is what you must. But never let Kim's head shift out of your reticle's centre - not even for one second.

P.S. Recently there was a "secret" visit by a "highranking American official" in North Korea. One wonders what it was that the Donald thought he wanted to tell Kim. I doubt he threatened war on him, more likely that he offered him a deal, great dealmaker that the Donald praises himself as. Watch out, America, you might find out later on that you do not like the terms and conditions of this deal, if it exists. Its never a good idea to leave longterm planning to somebody with the attention span of how long it takes to fire a tweet, and with the education level of a talking cactus.
