As of 05/27/2018, US NK summit still on?

[there4eyeM]

So, someone else has noticed this news. I was wondering if it was a dream or something.
Meeting has always been what I wanted to see; don't know about "leftists" or others. As with anyone rational, I have no idea what will result, if it is some elaborate trick or stratagem, etc. Having some assurance of peace in that area after all this time, my whole life, would be great.

Driven by his narcissistic need for attention, Trump is willing to meet with a brutal despot who murders his own people in a pathetic effort to realize a ‘win.’

Kim is seeking to make his country and his dictatorship ‘legitimate’ by having an American president meet with him, although Kim has no intent to ‘denuclearize,’ meeting with Trump in bad faith.

And Trump is too stupid and blinded by his own arrogance to understand he’s being played, that nothing of substance will come of the meeting.

Possibly, but in the case that North Korea opened at all, the population there would immediately benefit, and very quickly things would liberalize (please, let's not take that term wrong here!). Big surprises have happened in our times. Who would have thought the U.S.S.R. would go out without a battle?

Trump called it off.

Not sure why.

Guess he felt that Kim Jongggg Oooon was going to call it off so Trump wanted to beat him to the punch.

The report from CNN was four hours ago.

 

[there4eyeM]

There are no newer reports that refute the news.

 

[there4eyeM]

Reflexive anti-Trump dictates that we must be opposed to the summit? Being for it makes us "pro-Trump"?
No! Some of us are merely for peace, and negotiating with the North could yield that.
I can't stand Trump, but if he brings this off, more power to him.

 

[there4eyeM]

On or off; what does the C.I.C. do?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

What is the President doing?

He has no idea.

But Trump and Kim are perfect for each other – they’re both equally reckless and irresponsible.

This is the closest we've ever been to a peaceful solution on the Korean peninsula since the 1950s

Bad news for some.

It still looks as if the meeting is 'on'. Let's hope our fearless leader doesn't flip again.

 

[there4eyeM]

South and North Korea are holding easily arranged meetings and calling on the U.S. to maintain the scheduled summit. This very positive situation should be enthusiastically followed up by Washington.

 

[there4eyeM]

Has the meeting been cancelled again yet?

 

[cnm]

complete DENUCLEARIZATION of the 'korean' peninsula eh . Don't tell GGator '4eye' .

Care to bet a cyber whisky NK does not give up its nukes?

No! Some of us are merely for peace, and negotiating with the North could yield that.

Un and Moon may bring this off, whatever 'this' is. Trump's part is to be given all the credit. The Koreans understand these matters.

Naturally, they have the greatest interest. There are so many ways that others, outsiders could view this, positively and negatively.
For example, it seems to be commonly held that China would not like a unified, peaceful Korea. It is possible, however, that they see the advantages of having a prospering neighbor, just as Canada is to the U.S. Mutually beneficial exchange is as likely as animosity. Really, China is so immense that it could hardly have much to fear from this Asian landmass appendage.

It might fear having the US on its border.

Surely. The thought evoked in the post was that the U.S. presence, no longer needed, was over. Big oversight on my part not to have said so.

I said this twice now since last week: there will be a deal with NK, Trump will win, America will win, this is what's called "dealing". Trump is a master at wheeling and dealing. The previous administration thought dealing was to give away the farm.

 

[there4eyeM]

The only possible "win" will be a win-win. America will not win alone.

 

[there4eyeM]

Trump has just tweeted that a strong team has been put together for the meeting. It is looking better, but, admittedly, the situation is fragile, I think.

Care to say what winning looks like? NK retaining its nukes?

Trump will be given the credit, the Koreans will make whatever deal is made. But what does a win look like to you?
