What A Surprise

RE: What A Surprise
Maybe a magic coal deal will help  Tongue

But that's just me opining from the awful "Trump hate bandwagon " after all we need to judge Trumps failures by what other people failed to do not his own .  Dodgy

Well, judge this.

Quote:North Korea Calls U.S. Attitude During Talks With Pompeo ‘Regrettable’

Quote:Mr. Pompeo came to Pyongyang to try to get the North Koreans to match their vague commitment to denuclearization — signed by Mr. Kim in the June meeting with President Trump — with some kind of action. Among the first priorities were a declaration of weapons sites, a timeline of deconstruction efforts and, perhaps, a written statement that the North’s definition of denuclearization matched Mr. Pompeo’s.
Asked if he had gotten any of those, Mr. Pompeo declined to divulge details.
Privately, Mr. Pompeo has said that he doubts Mr. Kim will ever give up his nuclear weapons. And those doubts have been reinforced in recent days by intelligence showing that North Korea, far from dismantling its weapons facilities, has been expanding them and taking steps to conceal the efforts from the United States.

I have no doubt that China gave a little tug on Kim's leash as a result of the trade war.

RE: What A Surprise
Yup Trumps fucked himself 

He's failed to get any real commitments from NK just a lot of lame photo ops 

He's turned his allies in the region against him by cancelling military exercises

He's agitated China thus causing them to turn toward NK 

He Demonstrated he can't be trusted to honor agreements with his allies 

He's essentially bent over to Putin again 

Failure total failure
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
