I'm wondering if Trump will sign a peace treaty with him. We are, technically, still at war with North Korea after all. The rationale for signing it, of course, would be that if we're at peace, they no longer need nukes and we don't need troops in the South.

So, for his part, Kim agrees to...denuke? I sure as fuck hope so, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Un-N-Out?

  • Reading the butthurt in here reminds me yet again that 95% of our population, including the posters on here, are simply incapable of perceiving anything political in any way other than reinforcing the

  • My inconsequential thoughts:   1. Dbeasy is right.  This is a first step in a change in the handling of NK.  The status quo was surely not the answer, so something different needed to be tried.

Nobody thinks NK is our equals. Nobody. 

Every member of the military and ruling class in N. Korea. The people who hold Dear Leader in God-like status. This is a propaganda windfall for Kim.

This and it's fucking embarrassing.  We're giving a summit to a country that is in the middle of a famine.  We're basically meeting with Ethiopia.

3 things here. 

1) Literally, and I mean literally, nobody outside of North Korea thinks this. 

2) Ethiopia doesn’t have nukes so therefore it’s not even close to the same thing.   

3) This post is one of the dumbest things I’ve seen on shaggy/surly.  Congratulations.  Your hate of Trump has made you retarded.

He's not there to denuke. He's there to have his nukes accepted.  He wants to be a stabilized nuclear power. This meeting has him half way there. They look like our equals. 

So KJU announces he's leaving tomorrow morning after a mtg w Trump.  Trump, who speculated the summit could go on for "two or three days", will now leave later Tuesday evening.

I guess the Alpha thing got settled.

You don't think that NK will be using things like that to sell as propaganda? They've asked for talks with the US for several years, probably to take complete advantage of anything they can exploit. This ain't some dumb american millennial saying this either, this is SK who have dealt with them for a long time.

Jesus. This is the equivalent of letting your wife think something is her decision when it’s really yours.  Put up equal number of flags.  We’re on equal footing. Yeah that’s it.  We’re working together. 

Trump blew him off and North Korea came back and asked to please put the meeting back on. We are in control.  How can y’all not understand this?

That got settled a long time ago. Trump's a pussy.

FOX was wrong both times. It is a dog and pony show and means nothing.

Can be done by phone or Skype.

All we did today is make Kim Jong Un’s North Korea stronger.

Great going, winning.

Parroting that neocon canard, Hugo.  Not a good look.  

We don't yet have sufficient information to determine what happened today. And it's not even over yet.  We'll have to see what Kim agreed to.

Define "peace" as it applies to the U.S. and N. Korea. What factors have been missing before that meant we're not at peace, and what criteria need to be satisfied in order to declare that we are now finally at peace? Let us know when those criteria have been met. 

Can we be at "peace" as long as they have nukes?

Sounds like the agreement they signed is intended to lead to "many more meetings" -a soap opera plot with twists and turns strategically timed to manipulate the news cycle.  Sure looks like the latest installment in WWF style kabuki between 'rocket man' and Donald.

So how will this deal compare to the Iran deal

It won’t be us giving them billions of dollars so they can just turn around and say never mind we aren’t doing that is a start....

Here's where we're at

 

Canada is meek and mild and theres a special place in hell for you if you double cross president Donald J Trump

 

Kim Jong un is a talented man who loves his country very much.

Lol if this “deal” was a fantasy football trade, it would get vetoed for being too one-sided. Trump got worked.

They basically gave each other a participation trophy and "may" meet again.

An actual treaty to end the Korean War also requires 67 aye votes in the Senate, and I'm not convinced anything that this President does could get 67 votes.

I can only imagine if Obama took Dennis Rodman to meet with North Korea.  Good hell....

Obama would have taken jay z. And it would have been awesome.

Did he actually cancel the War Games exercises with South Korea or was that something he just randomly said?

If you were a western educated 34 year old NORK, beset on all sides by people who wanted to assassinate your ass, living in relative squalor in your hermit kingdom with an option for a golden parachute out what would you do. I'd find a way to say yes and spend the rest of my life rolling a yacht fully equipped with all the right "western amenities". But that's just me. 

No no no no no. You can do your detached narcissist bit. You can do your both sides bit. But don’t you goddamn start acting like the dumbest of the trump supporters. Have some fucking self respect man.

That’s because Hugo doesn’t have a single thought of his own.
