F3SS 17,935 #1 Posted March 9, 2018 Quote Trump agrees to meet with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, South Korea says The extraordinary and unexpected opening came through shuttle diplomacy by a South Korean delegation arriving in Washington Thursday. Trump heralded the development as a "major announcement" after speaking with the South Korean president. "I told President Trump that in our meeting, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he's committed to denuclearization. He pledged that North Korea will refrain from any further nuclear or missile tests," South Korean national security adviser Chung Eui-yong told reporters after meeting with Trump at the White House. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/03/08/trump-major-announcement-coming-north-korea/408781002/ Wouldn’t that be quite the win for the Trumpster? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Astra. 10,549 #3 Posted March 9, 2018 It sounds like positive news. But small steps and lots of caution should apply. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hankenhunter 4,368 #4 Posted March 9, 2018 Could be China applying pressure? In any case I am glad. Sitting under the route that a N.K missile would take makes me very nervous. Especially the fact that the missiles are crude and unreliable. Not that it matters because if the U.S went to war with Kim, Canada would be dragged in also.

South Korea broke the news. Not the White House. Be optimistic for a change. A lot of good could come from this. I don’t know, maybe SK didn’t break the news but still man, glass half full.

And indeed, I really hope that China is pulling the plugs here. China will be the key to a peaceful resolution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paranormal Panther 11,031 #11 Posted March 9, 2018 If this is successful, Obama should give his undeserved Peace Prize to Trump. The Democratic propaganda news outlets should eat fried crow with their humble pie. The neocons and warmongers should leave the GOP, and work for some Bolshevik never-Trump magazine publisher. The rest of the world should support all of the people who might further the cause of peace. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very possible and funny that you greet this with sadness and depression. LMAO. Regardless, for the first time in decades they are talking and we haven't pulled any of the pressure holds we are using to get them to talk but hey, we all knew you and the usual suspects would be negative no matter what happens and therefore your opinions are more worthless every day. Being wrong ALWAYS tends to erode one's credibility. Agreed though, give the NPP to Trump Barry, you didn't earn it. Edited March 9, 2018 by Merc14 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can only imagine what they were feeling when the false alarm went off. My wife and I, being fairly old, decided that we aren't going to run for shelter. We would rather sit on the front porch and wait for the end. No fear, just acceptance. Besides who are we to take shelter spots when there are kids that need it far more than an old codgers like us. I feel blessed because I was and am able to pass on my half century of survival and hunting wisdom to a lot of youngsters. It helps ease the pain of your kids growing up and leaving home. Besides, kids are fun and willing to learn. Hank Edited March 9, 2018 by Hankenhunter 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like AO said, Kim may back out, probably will, so what, he made an unprecedented move and obviously he is weakening. The most interesting thing will be to watch the haters like AO and the media celebrate when Kim backs out. What does that tell you?
