I'm okay with the photo op parts, if this summit and any future summits lead to peace.
I do not want us to invade another country. I don't want another war, as we're tied up in the Middle East for what looks forever at this point.
Of course, I'd hope that North Korea tells the truth if they're going to give up any weapons and that there's some kind of system for checking up on this. Maybe they concede nothing in the end, but I'd rather see Trump try this first over a series of meetings over time.

I don't really understand the critique either at this point. You can't talk to the guy because of all the terrible things he does, but guaranfeckinteed if you don't talk to him, he will continue to do them. All of your punitive policy is about making things worse for those same people. But, taking a picture with them is glorifying what he does to them and that is the apparent tragedy. Even though there may be an outside chance that doing so leads to an actual improvement in the standard of living for all those millions of innocent people that everyone claims to be concerned about.
If we are so concerned about his human rights violations and shitty treatment of everything and everyone - then it seems that we need to figure some kind of action to undertake to resolve such a terrible problem. And, apparently the answer is to keep doing the same thing to help the people because... what's really important is that somehow taking a photo will cause people to overlook the bad in Kim and think he's a great guy.

Photo ops are minutia.
Meaningless knucklehead stuff.
The only stuff the left can grab a hold of.
Be concerned with results, not process.
Did 0bama not bow to mass murderers?
Did he not apologize to people who kill women and make them slaves?
Did Hillary and 0bama not lick ass with Putin, another mass murderer?
And Castro, a dictator?
Let's use the same criteria for both sides.

I don't either.
I don't like the photo op, the nice things said, or the legitimizing.
That said... its a different approach and you have to do things differently. Those things come with the territory.

None of it matters compared to actually getting rid of dated technology that can kill millions of people. I think there is a 50/50 chance that he will revert to previous bullshit and realize just how deadly new technology is. This process has a very long way to go.

Seems the ass-licking obsession is contagious, and has spread to monkeys.

Strategically that benefits the North more than the South...
