didn't you know that joint military operations are all the keep them from rolling of South Korea???? *NM* random thoughts Send a noteboard - 14/06/2018 07:23:12 PM

View original postAnd more on the actual event. Much has been said that the US is giving up more than the N.Korean's are. Really? Come on now. We've given up nothing. This isn't a contest between equals. This is a negotiation between the most powerful nation in the world, and one who has the capability of lashing out in any number of nonsensical directions. N.Korea would do nothing more than destroy stuff and take lives...and still get absolutely obliterated.


View original postThe whole point is to prevent that from happening. Let's keep in mind that we just started talking with them, and it didn't devolve into chaos. Just 12 months ago, the media (and the left) were convinced that's exactly what would occur. Instead, Trump is playing it very well. Don't insult them. Keep them talking. Demonstrate that we can be humble and "give something up," while not really doing that at all.

So. Trump and the little rocket man. Legolas - 13/06/2018 10:09:45 PM 1088 Views
Typical nonsense Cannoli - 13/06/2018 11:12:19 PM 677 Views
Wow, I get line by line commentary... nice. Legolas - 14/06/2018 12:22:12 AM 586 Views
Actually, the article that got the commentary, I left your not-particularly risible words alone Cannoli - 14/06/2018 06:12:58 AM 723 Views
The point is, in a negotiation, it's about what things are worth to the other side - not to you. Legolas - 14/06/2018 08:04:30 AM 608 Views
Mostly agree with you AgentApple - 14/06/2018 10:25:35 AM 599 Views
Terrifying if Trump's emotive language is genuine kHz1000 - 13/06/2018 11:27:37 PM 750 Views

So less on the article... Jeordam - 14/06/2018 05:01:26 PM 600 Views

As I said to Cannoli - it's not about what it costs the US, but about what it's worth to North Korea Legolas - 14/06/2018 07:26:43 PM 625 Views
Trump doesn't care what Kim and North Korea pretend... damookster - 14/06/2018 07:48:26 PM 596 Views
It certainly seems that way. Legolas - 14/06/2018 11:14:58 PM 600 Views
The conservative never-Trumpers hate him as much, if not more, than the liberals. damookster - 14/06/2018 11:36:46 PM 599 Views
As they should. Legolas - 15/06/2018 12:02:40 AM 602 Views
What real worlkd gains does Norht Korea get? random thoughts - 14/06/2018 08:40:32 PM 600 Views
So let them think it... Jeordam - 14/06/2018 10:21:46 PM 631 Views
Funny how it went from Trump is going to start WWIII to Trump caved random thoughts - 14/06/2018 07:21:44 PM 645 Views
Um, yes. Trump radically changed his position, so the media descriptions changed too? Legolas - 14/06/2018 07:40:37 PM 595 Views
The problem is the media posistion is always the same, Trump is wrong. random thoughts - 14/06/2018 08:30:38 PM 593 Views
That would be more convincing if you said it in a case where he was right. Legolas - 14/06/2018 09:17:43 PM 589 Views
I don't agree... gban007 - 14/06/2018 09:37:23 PM 598 Views
I agree with this. damookster - 14/06/2018 10:08:27 PM 622 Views
They're not contradictory - just a bit more subtle than having two binary options. Legolas - 14/06/2018 11:01:39 PM 723 Views
Well gban007 - 15/06/2018 12:03:41 AM 612 Views
Here you are being too optimistic. Sadly for the US and the world. The Shrike - 15/06/2018 05:55:14 PM 605 Views
I'd say it was mostly the Democrats who caused and are causing this divide. AgentApple - 20/06/2018 09:07:58 AM 664 Views
If you think it's mostly Democrats, you're partisan enough to be a part of the problem. The Shrike - 20/06/2018 12:29:38 PM 581 Views
I'm *kinda* with you? Jeordam - 20/06/2018 04:20:46 PM 614 Views
Ratings are creeping up because of outrage fatigue ? That makes no sense. AgentApple - 20/06/2018 09:02:17 AM 613 Views
Sure it does. Legolas - 22/06/2018 10:02:39 PM 625 Views
It's a start, albeit a very weak start. The Shrike - 15/06/2018 05:49:27 PM 582 Views
Wouldn't that be ironic? damookster - 15/06/2018 06:03:37 PM 624 Views
Nothing here *NM* kHz1000 - 15/06/2018 09:10:51 PM 367 Views
