Trump meeting Kim Jong Uns

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/kim-jong-un-invite-donald-trump-north-korea-nuclear-test-a8246856.html

Looks like heavy handed realist foreign policy does work rather than liberal nonsense that Obama’s expoused (with the familiar consequences)

This has nothing to do with Trump policy and it the brainchild of the South Korean leader who doesn't want to be caught on the crossfire of a nuclear **** swinging contest. Let's not forget Trump was threating nuclear hellfire not to long ago.

If you want Trump to do something, do you argue with him like Kim or do you suck up to him? Feed Trumps ego and you can get him to do almost anything.

This is actually good.

It would be so good if Trump, of all poeple, did something the liberals could never do.

Now we just need PM Corbyn to get round the table as well. All the angry Gammon. :rofl:

Would be worth it for the Nick Cohen articles alone.

This is one of those things thought where it is easier for right wingers to do this. Just like it would have been hard for a Democrat to make talks with Communist China, It was something NIxen and Reagan could get away with because they were on the right. Just imagine if Corbyn had done this. The gammon would no be happy :facepalm:

Sounds very complicated and an elaborate attempt to try and deflect anything positive trump achieves.

But if you are right- perversely that also plays in Trumps favour - other countries will do his work for him out of fear of upsetting him!

Not saying Trump can do no wrong: he csn, but. In this area he’s doing markedly better than his predecessors

If Kim was scared of the US then I would agree in that Trumps rhtoric is working but i dont think Kim is so I don't believe this to be the case. Trump in my opinion has done little so far. But I think he will get the credit if he does help the process of peace between the 2 nations and he should to an extent. But as of now this meeting is not because of anything trump did except accept the invite which came around because of S. Korean delegation. S Korea just want peace and safety. If this means giving all the credit to Trump, so be it.

People say Kim has been on a charm offensive against everyone as Japan has warned. I think South Korea has been doing a ot of charming of their own on the north.
