1. IF 45 fumbles talks? IF? Is there any doubt that he won't fumble?

Come on. 45 will either be licking Kim Jong Un's ass because Kim compliments him or he'll start a nuclear war.

I don't see much else in the realm of possibilities.

2. 45 and Kim are on the same page.

They both are accommodating Putin and corruption is the name of the game. I'm surprised the media hasn't mentioned Russia's role in this "talk." It's pure Kabuki theater.

3. You've a good point.

Does Russia approve of all this saber rattling with nukes?

4. Russia has been supplying missile know-how and

hardware, along with other contraband, from their ships offshore from N. Korea. This sudden "dialogue/talk" is Putin's way of giving cover to Trump to distract media from the Russia story revelations: Jane Mayer's reporting of Putin having veto power over Romney/Tillerson Sec'ty of State; George Nader being scooped-up at Dulles by Mueller's FBI in January; Seychelles Meeting w/ Erik Prince to create a Russian/Trump back-channel. It's getting hot under-the-collar for Putin. Putin also ordered the poisoning of their exiled spy in Britain to send a message to his criminal network.

6. Right, poli-junkie.

It won't work.

Sex scandals way out-weigh, way capture more interest, than mere peace on earth.

It's just the way we humans are made.

Sad but true.

And the Russia and Stormy Daniels scandal kind of merge in the popular mind.

Russia is sort of the Stormy Daniels of world affairs.

7. Agreed. I thought Putin sent a message to above all Puppetent Trump w the poisoning.

At least Trump's trying to use "peace"instead of war with North Korea as his & Putin's first line of mass diversion. Yet Putin clearly knows Trump's massive ego/incompetence will screw it up. I doubt South Korea, Japan even China are thrilled with trusting an American diplomacy that could hang on one constipated tweet from Trump,. the selfdeclared "deal master", who's historic style is cheating, willful ignorance, lying,bullying. hypocrisy..

This whole theater definitely Putin orchestrated.. It's win win for Putin either way: Trump fails & our allies move further away. Trump keeps this looking viable through the election & Trump/Putin/Repugs stay in power.
