Does this feel like Korea 2.0 to anyone else?

Spanky and "enemy" escalate to the brink of war and give us all either heart attacks or war wood. Instead, Mr. Cautious steps back and announces some sort of meeting to make "the best deal ever" to make him seem like such a statesman and give him a poll boost. Of course this time there was actually a deal before that Spanky tore up because President Obama was leader then. I'll be OK with everybody being fooled now if it keeps us away from war, but I really hope that this doesn't cause Spanky's reelection.

I agree. I should have clarified that he never succeeded in actually looking like a statesman. ProgRocknProgPol Jan 2020 #2

He looks like an idiot in his dealings with Iran, as well.

I predict Rouhani and/or Khamenei will be Trump's new best friend(s) in about a month or two. The only thing that might stop that would be the many forces around Trump that still want the Mullahs gone (most potently Bolton right now).
