I can’t help but wonder what went on during Kim’s sudden visit with President Xi in China just before all of this whole thing started to unfold. What message was relayed to him.

Perhaps a warning and/or threat.
Perhaps. Or to seek their blessing while guaranteeing certain concession would not be given.

There’s no way it wasn’t related IMHO. I just wish we could find out somehow what went on.

I figure the Chinese told him that they had his back & that they saw a rosy future for a DPRK truly at peace with the ROK. Give up the idea of a hostile takeover of the South. Deal with it the way China deals with Taiwan.

Kim either told Xi about how their nuclear test mountain collapsed or China summoned Kim to relay the results from the Chinese inspection team. Their report is going to be published within the month. The mountain is in danger of leaking radiation. The mountain is 60 miles from a populated border with China. China isn't happy and NK no longer has leverage given the NK nuclear program is irradiated or destroyed.

We have an opportunity to get everything we want (US out of the Korean Peninsula, strong Chinese influence in both Koreas). The US administration won’t even understand what we are shooting for so play along and you’ll get a shit load of whatever you want, (cake probably).

The first president to finally fix the North Korean nuclear issue.

If this come to fruition Donald Trump should get a Nobel Peace Prize!

The best par is that if something does turn out positive, then Xi Jinping, Moon Jae-in, and quite possibly Fat #3 will be getting peace prizes, but Trump won't. And you know that he won't. No way in fucking hell that the Swedes will give that sack of shit a prize. And you will just cry and bitch that he was ROBBED! and the Prize is stupid anyway!

And you'll be sad that Gore and Obama both have one, and your little Turd Goblin doesn't. So sad for you. I mean, they would sooner give it to a guy that mortarted his uncle to death than they would Donald Fucking Trump, and you know that is true.

Hey, no problem with me giving Trump credit WHERE IT'S DUE. What I'm not going to do is believe anything that comes out of that well known lying mouth of his. I swear his mouth has got a mind of it's own just like his tiny hands flapping at the air around him whenever his lips come apart and starts flapping along with those groping fingers of his.

Hell I give him full credit for giving the wealthy and himself a very nice hefty tax cut and gutting out the ACA while giving the middle class and the poor crumbs off their tables like always while ballooning the very deficits his party swear they were against. I give him full credit for screwing himself over time after time, I even give him full credit for enabling the Nazis, KKK, supremacists and other racist hate groups to come out from hiding and reminding us that racism is alive and well in America.

I also give him full credit for taking credit for things he had nothing positive to do with. I also give him credit for the way he completely ignores, vociferously denies and/or obfuscates those many things he's screwed up on like they never happened or like there was nothing wrong with what he did.

Amazing kind of guy Trump is. Simply amazing.

I'd hold off on that celebration until the fat lady sings.
I'd would be quite leery trusting a con artist and lier like Donald Trump, then toss into the mix another unstable idiot like Kim Jong Un.
Okey, sure it looks promising now, but...
This is the kind of stuff that should it blow up or if S Korea and N Korea had a falling out of mass proportions, the result would be a nightmare the likes of we have never seen before. And there would have to be nukes.
We've seen this movie before. Good intentions going terrible wrong.
Same script, different cast.

Yet Bronco gets one just for being elected? Pfft. Little Rocket Man would not have even done this had Trump not pressured the Chinese with trade tariffs. The Chinese were supporting Un.

You guys need to admit that Trump is 10x the president Bronco was. And no way would Hillary make Un do this. Should would have done the usual appeasement dance like all normal politicians do.

You guys are going to feel really stupid for so desperately celebrating this when North Korea doesn’t give up its nuclear weapons.
