They never just say that Kim is ready to give up his nukes. Kim's so- called "commitment" sounds like it comes with quite a few conditions. The question will be: Is Trump going to be "committed" to pulling out all of our troops from South Korea?

our troops pulled out of South Korea. My father fought in Korea. He was a Marine who fought at Chosin Reservoir. His younger brother also a Marine was present during the signing of the documents that halted the war. Both are now dead. I don't think they fought so this asshole could arbitrarily withdraw our troops.

Im not a war monger, neither was my Dad or Uncle. An aside, my dad did everything he could to keep my brother from being drafted, making sure he stayed in college. he also counseled some of our friends who were going to be drafted, to enlist in the Air Force. As my dad said, enlisted Air Force don't do the fighting.

All that said, I am for the safety and security of the US and South Korea..

There are a lot of people with better sense than Trump who see that Trump won't be able to make this deal he wants so badly.

He is just playing the role of president, he is not a real president. And he's not a real actor, too, he is dreadful at reading the lines written for him.

This performance gets two thumbs down from me. Very difficult to watch.

That and reelection. Kim Jong-Un has committed too many sins to let his guard down, and the United States isn't going to leave South Korea with no defense.

but little Donnie reaaaaallly wants that Nobel Peace Prize.

Do you ever notice how he's always saying all these world leaders are "very good friends of his"? He doesn't have any good friends, especially not people who have only met him a few times and are saying what they need to say to accomplish their goals. I can't imagine that anyone on the planet truly likes him. He really has no idea how hated he is and how many people look down their noses at him.
