Republicans In Disarray Over Trumps Shocker Suspending Military Exercises With S. Korea

[Tom Horn]

The President and Un kept making additional offers after the joint statement was finished. Trump smiled about it at the news conference...it's how he sweetens deals...get more while everybody is happy. And that's why you never do deals when you're happy, horny, or hungry with a slick operator like him. Trading joint drills with the SKs in exchange for Un closing his missile engine works is about as good as it gets. Everybody already knows the unit concepts of invading the north so we lose nothing but the bill for exercises we don't need now.

Un is playing Trump like a fiddle. Every expert on the planet has already stated that a nuclear program of that size will take 10 years to dismantle, and that's only if there is an honest effort to do it. There is no way possible to verify it.

Then lets look at it politically. If the deal falls through, there is no way to spin it other that Trump failed. Full stop.

Then look at it strategically. If Un backs out, or renegs, we go to war with North Korea?

And given the time frame here, Trump won't be around in 10 years, so just like Iraq and Afghanistan, another administration ends up having to deal with another " mission accomplished " asshole to the tune of another $7 trillion and how many American lives?

And then finally we look at it personally. So what, you're making the statement " Donald Trump, master foreign policy negotiator "?

Forgive me if I don't share in the delusion.

Since you're being polite I won't laugh at you or call you names. But you really should think about your negativity....try to find the pony in the room instead of complaining about the horse shit. Kim will be overthrown if he continues on his present path...a colonel will walk up to him and blow his brains out. He's come with hat in hand to Trump..the safety assurances are as much about his own command staff as anything the SKs are apt to throw at him. Watch and learn and admit you should have looked closer at what's happened.

Donald Trump has thrown Seoul, the Pentagon, and Capitol Hill Republicans into a tailspin over his seat-of-the-pants announcement that the U.S. would suspend joint military exercises, which he called “war games,” with South Korea. The AP writes:

President Donald Trump’s abrupt announcement Tuesday that he will suspend U.S. military drills in South Korea appeared to catch the Pentagon and the Seoul government flat-footed, and it contradicted a pillar of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’s campaign to make U.S. troops more combat-ready.

Fine, let's draft the college-age sons of these Hawks and station them at the DMZ.

Keep calm. After a while, you'll become accustomed to good things happening and might even begin to like the new world.

Beyond belief that the President would not have discussed this with the Pentagon and South Korea, but I am not surprised.

Yep, and the sycophants trying to make this a better deal than the Iran nuclear deal is vomit worthy.

Lets review shall we...

ISTANBUL — One was the result of 12 years of painstaking negotiations over two U.S. presidential administrations and three changes of government on the other side, with the U.N. Security Council, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and leaders from the capitals of half a dozen countries actively involved.

The other was hammered out by two beefy guys with bad hair during the equivalent of a long layover in Singapore.

It may be unfair to compare the 159-page Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the Iran nuclear deal, signed by Tehran and world powers in 2015, to the barely two-page Singapore declaration penned by Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un, which is supposed to kick off the process of a deal.

But the Singapore statement, which has been praised by Trump supporters and conservative pundits on cable television, also pales dramatically in comparison to the interim deal that Iran, the U.S. and other world powers signed in 2013.

The Art of the Deal? Obama’s With Iran Was Much Better Than Trump’s With North Korea

Iran never signed the deal that was secret to the public as well as Congress. The deal was bogus. How many rockets did Iran launch after the agreement?

Which military bases can be inspected?

How many days must notice be given before any site is inspected?

How may American inspectors were allowed into Iran?
