Nothing has been accomplished in N Korea.

The summit is not a strategy. Joseph Yun, a global analyst, is saying that they are disappointed.... missed opportunity to make the area safer via a declaration. The summit should have come last with negotiations, not first.

It is a win for Kim due to all the PR. He is getting what he wanted. No removal of nukes, etc. Kim gets to keep his weapons and now he bought more time for his country. Maybe a few sanctions will be lifted.

Russian/Trump collusion. It's not a legitimate news source and we shouldn't be posting from it here.

An example of their postings:

Anyone following alternative news for the past decade and more understands the deceptive tactics used within the mainstream media. 'Fake news' is nothing new. However, the fervor behind anti-Russian hysteria is increasingly driving major outlets over the edge. Journalists and politicians have been scrambling to find any scrap that might support claims of collusion because as of yet there hasn't been a single shred of evidence to support their ridiculous narrative.

Nixon had China and was still a crook. Trump looks like he has N Korea, but he's still a crook. Voters usually don't vote foreign policy issues. Let's hope this holds true.
