Kim's remarks translated - remarkable.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/11/politics/trump-kim-summit-singapore/index.html

"It has not been easy to come to this point," Kim said, according to a CNN translation of his remarks. "For us the past has been holding us back, and old practices and prejudices have been covering our eyes and ears, but we have been able to overcome everything to arrive here today."


Pretty bold - Kim will have to deliver.

execute him with an anti air craft gun?

All that was left of his uncle was little bits of quivering meat flopping around on the ground.

No wonder Trump loves him.

That's just pretense...

This whole charade is designed to get the Trump base - on board with this - and not object loudly - cuz..ya know...it's Trump.

If OBAMA did it - they would have FREAKED OUT.

WE are always for shaking hands and meeting face to face - breaking down barriers.

Trump - just wants to make money - the market was going to open...

And Putin wants the western alliance/NATO destroyed.

It’s all come together in the last few days.

Russia is playing us again. Trump should get a Hero of the Soviet Union medal for sure!

He killed his half brother with....wait for it...nerve gas.

He ain’t quite to the point of giving a shit about human rights I’d say.

Sure - SOMEONE killed him...but what's gained by killing a nobody half-brother?

Just seems more like a public spectacle - and not a power move...?

Lots of players here...

His “nuclear” power failed.
He is a bigger conman. He is playing everyone.

I do not think whatever the Korean word for 'prejudices' is is one that Kim says, why would he?

China wants US troops out of South Korea. Kim Jong Crazy is a puppet of the ChiCom regime.
