https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-korean-war-vets_us_5b352c42e4b007aa2f7e5080On Monday, Trump told a rally audience in South Carolina: Were getting the remains of our great heroes back.
The only problem: No remains have yet been returned, and it is unclear when that might happen. We have not yet physically received them, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told the Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday, but said that he is optimistic it would take place in the not-too-distant future.
Let's summarize Trump's summit with NK:
- NK got diplomatic legitimatization.
- NK promised to eventually denuclearize at some point in the future, except there are no goalposts and no timeline that would tie NK to their promise. This is the fifth time that NK has signed a declaration for denuclearization. Last week NK expanded their nuclear facilities.
- Trump agreed to reduce military involvement with respect to all of Korea, not just North Korea. In the negotiations, Trump gave away the US-SK war-games, even though he didn't have to. (What a negotiator.)
- Trump got the promise that NK would return the bodies of fallen soldiers. Then he bragged that NK had already done so, except they didn't.
In summary: Trump got precisely nothing and then lied about it.

(6,974 posts)Most in the corporate media STILL can't bring themselves to say that he's a liar. More in the print/digital media will though.
A friend got into it on his FB page yesterday. A tRumpanzee said he was lying when he said that tRump got nothing from the summit with Kim, because Kim Jun Un is STILL Upgrading his Nuclear research center despite the summit vow he LOOSELY made with US Fatso. He gave the tRumpanzee right-leaning link sites stating this. The tRumpanzee said that even though these sites may lean to the right, they're still "filthy" anti-tRump Deep Staters The friend ask him where he got his information from that said otherwise, and he said Brietbart, Fox and America One
At that point, my friend said he blocked him and left.

(2,343 posts)I immediately think "What the hell?! Are these remains of these soldiers warehoused somewhere?! They kept them on file?!" Didn't we leave like in the 1950s? Am i missing something? That seems odd that a foreign country would hold on to this stuff for that long.

(10,252 posts)A lie, and not just a damned lie, but a vulgar vile despicable lie. I knew when I read a while back that Trump claimed to have recovered the bodies of Korean war dead, that no such event ever occurred. And I doubt that he ever even made such a request. Probably a lie that he just thought up in the spur of the moment at a rally.

(737 posts)UK deaths in World War 1 = 1.9% of population
US deaths in World War 2 = 0.32% of population
North Korea deaths in Korean War = 10.6% of population.
I'm English, and here people still "remember" the casualties of WW1 and the loss of a generation, even though, at best, only a handful of people can actually remember it. The Korean War was much worse - the population literally decimated. They won't forget that. They hate the US. They're terrified of what the US will do them if it thinks it can get away with it. Trump is too stupid, ignorant and arrogant to understand that - but really that statement should have been debunked on the terms outlined above straightaway.

(7,768 posts)There was a BIG problem.
Upon examination, many of the remains were actually animal bones or other unidentifiable objects.
BLOTUS is an insane liar and a fucking fool.
