Someone is taking Trump seriously.

CIA Director Mike Pompeo said Trump "isn't doing this for theater."
"He's going to solve a problem," said Pompeo, who was interviewed on "Fox News Sunday." He also insisted that Kim must be prepared to talk about "complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization" if the meeting is to go ahead.

Trump’s Perversion—He rewards America’s enemies and punishes its friends.

President Trump has agreed to meet North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. Diplomats and U.S.
allies are puzzled. They wonder why Trump, without securing concessions, would offer North Korea what it has pursued for decades: the first meeting between a North Korean leader and a sitting American president. The question answers itself. Trump wants to have the meeting because no previous president has done it. Trump talks tough, but he doesn’t focus on confronting America’s enemies. He focuses on competing with American politicians and defeating America’s friends.

Trump has always abused the people closest to him. He cheats on his wives. He insults his attorney general and his secretary of state. Last week, in a tweet, he announced that he was looking to get rid of some people in his administration. At a White House press conference, he boasted that he could easily replace them: “I have a choice of anybody.”

Trump also loves to keep score. On Saturday, he went to a rally in Pennsylvania. It was supposed to be for Republican congressional candidate Rick Saccone, who faces a special election on Tuesday. Instead, Trump made the rally about himself. He bragged that in 2016, he had won the Electoral College, 306–223. (That’s not true: The tally was 306–232, and, for what it’s worth, Trump lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million. He didn’t mention that.) He mimicked the tears of reporters who, he claimed, had cried on TV about his victory. And he made clear that if Saccone loses on Tuesday, it’s not Trump’s fault. “I won this district, like, by 22 points,” the president crowed. “And we just had a poll. We’re more popular now than we were on Election Day. This guy should win easily.”

To build himself up, Trump tears down previous presidents of both parties. Last week at the White House, he took a shot at George W. Bush for failing to control North Korea. At Saturday’s rally, he scorned Bush for wasting money in the Middle East. On Twitter, Trump blamed Bush’s father, George H.W. Bush, for dumb trade deals and lost jobs. Now Trump is going after President Reagan. The Gipper was “not great” on trade, the 45th president told the crowd in Pennsylvania. Trump added that his own tax cut was “bigger than Reagan.”

This obsession with winning is childish and tedious. But it also blinds Trump to what he’s losing. He’s so busy keeping score against political rivals and predecessors that he doesn’t notice what he’s giving away to other countries. On Monday, in a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump took credit for recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. “Many presidents” had talked about doing that, said Trump, but “I was able to do it.” He seemed unaware that this supposed feat was a concession to Netanyahu, which previous presidents had held back as a bargaining chip. The next day, at a press conference, Trump was asked about the lessons of Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election. He could have talked about preventing Russia from interfering in 2018. Instead, the president said he’d win again. “[W]e’re going to do very well on the ’18 election,” he predicted.

That’s how Trump sees the meeting with Kim. It’s not about confronting North Korea. It’s a chance to upstage previous presidents. At the rally for Saccone, Trump lovingly recalled how South Korean officials, outside the White House on Thursday night, had stood before a “big throng of press” and “announced that North Korea, Kim Jong-un, would like to meet with President Trump.” Trump ridiculed the idea that “Obama could have done that.” Obama “would not have done it,” he jeered. “Neither would Bush, and neither would Clinton. And they had their shot, and all they did was nothing.”

What a silly article.

We have nuclear armed North Korea with multiple nuclear warheads and proven ICBM capability, and near capability to hit the US proper.

The matter has come to a head.

Trump spoke in blunt terms about past Presidents, but the reality is that Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II, and Obama, all kicked the can down the road. None of them were faced with the proven-nuclear capable - with longer range missiles - that the DPRK faces (until the tail end of Obama's administration), and none of them took a meaningful step.

That whole border between the north and the south is ridiculous. It's the most heavily armed border in history. There are literally men with side-arms facing each other across a line, scowling at each other, for the last 60 odd years. There are fire incidents accross the DMZ all the time. They are shooting. It's a hot border. And, there never was a cessation of war. The hostilities have never official stopped. It's a ceasefire only. For 60 years.

The North absolutely loathes. Loathes. The US. There is literally nothing they hate more. Most of the civilians have been brought up to view as us some entity that wants to destroy them utterly. That killed their babies by dropping them in wells and by murdering their children in front fo their mothers.

We must do something about this.

There is no choice to refuse to meet with Kim. And, you know it, and I know it, and everyone knows it, that if the offer came as it did, and Trump told Kim he would not meet with him, the media and everyone anti-trump would be declaring Trump to be warmonger egomaniac who refuses to meet for peace talks.

Everyone knows that. It's obvious.

sources? NK is still at the stage of very experimental nukes, and there's no evidence of their having the capability to reduce what they have to warhead size, and whle they may have LRM, their ICBM capability seems to be more truculent bragging than any real danger.

Wasn't Trump supposed to be the President of peace or something? He's now proposing a "Space Force", to wage battles in space. How old is this cunt?

WASHINGTON—Jotting down a few thoughts in order to help his replacement hit the ground running, departing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reportedly shot Mike Pompeo a quick email Tuesday to help get him up to speed on all the countries. “Hey Mike, just wanted to give you a brief rundown on the nations of the Earth before I head out,” read Tillerson’s email, which then proceeded to list, in no particular order, the 206 countries of the world, along with brief, often one-word descriptions for each. “Mexico: Spanish-speaking nation on southern border that doesn’t like walls; Australia: big island with kangaroos and no guns; China: communists, trading partner, we owe them lots of money; Nigeria: hot; Saudi Arabia: fantastic; South Korea: ???” Sources confirmed Tillerson concluded his email by saying there was no need to stress out about remembering everything on the list, as he hadn’t found it necessary to know all that much about the countries and Pompeo probably wouldn’t either.

Earlier
WASHINGTON—Saying the administration would not tolerate such egregious behavior from an official in his capacity, the White House confirmed Tuesday that outgoing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had been fired for inappropriately weighing in on international politics. “Mr. Tillerson was well aware of what we expected from him as the nation’s chief diplomat, and therefore should have known better than to give his opinions on a foreign policy matter,” read the statement from the White House, citing Tillerson’s public condemnation of Russia for its likely involvement in a nerve agent attack in the U.K. as “completely out of line” and “inconsistent with the current administration’s understanding of his duties.” “By assessing an international situation between allies and voicing his perspective as head of the State Department, Mr. Tillerson completely overstepped his jurisdiction. This administration’s firm stance against this kind of overreach by senior diplomatic advisers led President Trump to act swiftly and remove Mr. Tillerson from his position.” At press time, Trump was praising his new nominee for secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, for his strong commitment to diplomacy within the boundaries of what the president will allow.
