If Trump were a bumbling fool who meant well, I wouldn’t begrudge him the credit for coincidentally being President at the same time that the DPRK decided to make nice.
But he’s a bumbling fool who is additionally a knowing liar, a con man, a racist, a sexual molester, and a corrupter of our democracy with aspiration to autocracy. So, I’m begrudging bigly.
How else is he supposed to get the seniors/kids discount on the buffet? He’s just trying to save all those hard working tax paying real Americans a few dollars.
And I’m almost positive that this has nothing to do whatsoever with Kim Jon Un’s surprise meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping in Beijing four weeks ago.
The U.S. isn’t testing its nuclear weapons anymore either. Tested weapons aren’t as useful as stockpiled weapons in persuading other countries to not invade.
So, is the evidence really very strong that North Korea had performed a successful nuclear test? Yes, they had fired missiles, but it wasn’t at all clear they had some sort of viable warhead, was it?
Of course, it is very good news to hear that they are proposing they will not develop such technology, but it also has all the makings of a ruse.
This is another way of saying we don’t need more missile tests… because we can now create an intercontinental missile that could deliver a nuclear payload
Translation: they already suckered the USA into talks, and are absolutely giddy to have a rube like Trump leading them. Why spend more money on pissing off their neighbours now that they have the ultimate prize?
