I find it hilarious that we demand someone get rid of their nukes. Quite a few countries have them but we are the only ones to have ever used one, I'm a born and bred American and love our country but we screw over other countries all the time, if I was a foreign leader the last government I would trust is ours, just look at Iraq and Libya and the mess we left there. We need to stop sticking our noses in other people's business, if the shoe were on the other foot I wonder how we would react if some other country told us to "de-nuclearize".

Of course not, I just find the hypocrisy a joke, every empire through history crumbles due to greed and overreaching, our time is coming, If the "new" Democrats takeover that will speed up the process even more.

They're already a team.

While they don't really like each other they both really don't like us.

North Korea is a China proxy.

That's why I was perplexed by offering them things in exchange for nothing.

These tweets put massive pressure on Pompeo now... to come back with "something" to show for it.

The latter becomes more and more likely. You also predicted this.

How does this long game play out because on short term stuff lately I've been batting a thousand.



Carrot #1:
6/6/2018 North Korea demolished missile testing facility last month, report says

Carrot #2:
6/27/2018 TRUMP SAYS NORTH KOREA ALREADY DESTROYED 'FOUR OF THEIR BIG TEST SITES'

Stick:
07/02/2018 Satellite Images Show North Korea Is Expanding a Missile-Manufacturing Plant, a Report Finds



On the fallout from the summit and how Kim would be considered a hero...



Kim's Visit State Visit to China post-summit:



Some photos...



And Pompeo...

Pompeo tells China continued North Korea sanctions enforcement needed



So please... explain to me this "long game" "4 or 5d chess" you speak of...

I feel I've got a pretty good handle on the lay of the land...
I have explained it to you. But you don't pay attention. Trump is talking softly while carrying a big stick. He can whack Rocket Man upside and talk tough anytime he wants. He'll give the guy enough rope to hang himself. Right now, though, it's carrot time.

Meanwhile, go out have a Big Mac. Perhaps that may satisfy your instant gratification syndrome.

I'll keep posting specific predictions... enjoy your stick.

Yeah...you do that. Who knows: You may yet be this little corner of cyberspace's political version of Nostradamus?

Keep posting meaningless pics, too.
Always nice to watch you melt down in your own fantasy.

What did you expect for dinner - hot dogs and a beer?

It was the first ever formal state visit with all the trappings for the North Koreans(wives, color guards, national media coverage,red carpet). It also happened to occur a week after the Trump-Kim summit.

I'm sure you can put it together.

If not Google photos from other North Korean visits to China.

The Chinese are VERY happy with Kim and as he continues to charge along building up his nuclear deterrent his bargaining strength gets stronger and stronger.

When has the U.S.A ever thrown an unprovoked first punch? We conterpunch!

If we were recklessly flying 'test' missiles all over the world, you can bet that there would be other countries telling us to cool it...or else! After what Kim Jong Un has tried to get away with, there is nothing "hilarious" about we demanding that he dump his nukes.
