Well he walked away from it because they would not give them all up.
It was not a minimal deal.
Unless your agenda needs it to be.

Reuters: North Korea rebuilds part of missile site as Bolton warns of more sanctions

Quote:
The fact that the site had been dormant since August indicates the new activity is "deliberate and purposeful," the CSIS report said.
Quote:
While North Korea's official media said last week Kim and Trump had decided at the summit to continue talks, its Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui told reporters Kim "might lose his willingness to pursue a deal" and questioned the need to continue.

Nothing to Envy

Barbara Demick

Read this book and you'll come to total agreement that elimination of this government, and nothing else, should be the one and only goal for the USA concerning North Korea. Ely and RR and others have stated that without the nukes, Kim is a zero. We all must be in total agreement with that if no political or personal biases cloud our judgment. And, for the past decade, it seems as though China's and Russia's support of this regime could be compromised very dangerously from Kim's standpoint if the West could give either or both of those nations deals and future propositions that would be very easy for either to accept and put North Korea in dire straights.

There is no reason the USA should accept any kind of deals with North Korea, however, keeping the door open with them and toying with them until lining up China and Russia to where neither will see an advantage in STRONG support of Kim, I believe, is outstanding policy on the Trump administration's part. North Korea is so desperate that a well dangled carrot just out of reach can seem to be maintained for a significant amount of time.

I feel like the Trump administration, whether by strategy or luck, has handled North Korea very effectively, and I believe the situation will only get better the longer the USA can stay in contact, but never really doing anything of significance, with North Korea.

I only post political posts on a horse racing message board, cuz that is what I do.



I never post in the general section, or make selections, much less post opinions about horse racing. I'm just here for the political banter all.

You know you could get indicted for Russian collusion with that post, being an independent and all.

I sincerely hope this will not be the end result of all of this...

In New Talks, U.S. May Settle for a Nuclear Freeze by North Korea

International negotiations are hard... when all else fails... give up but get something small signed so you can slap a W on it...

Despite the fact Trump's statement, and by extension yours, is patently false why don't you weigh in on Trump's actions so far?

At one point you disagreed with Trump suspending joint exercises. So at least you're not a robot.

How do you feel about making North Korea great again and this "in love" pen pal relationship?
