Hey now, commies are commies. They naturally just gravitate towards one another.

But at least they're OPEN about it. I actually prefer that to the likes of RINO Republicans who swore up and down for 8 years that they're on our side and will do all this and that and then when it comes to nut cuttin' time they BOHICA us like a 10 hooker in a 7-11 parking lot at 3 am.

There's no "if" about it. If the little pri*k can, he WILL. But because we are stupid, we will let him kill untold numbers of Americans first before we finally do what we SHOULD have done in the first place, BEFORE our people had to die.

Wrong. I'd never support a mad man like Kim Jong. However I have little use for a so-called president that wouldn't know diplomacy from a hole in the wall. He is not interested in a peaceful resolution. It doesn't please his base. So he'll blather on until one of them makes a bad move. One that'll have ramifications far beyond what any of us can imagine.

New ally? Not new at all. They have been aiding and abetting him for many years including giving him technology, funding, and time to develop a nuclear presence in the world.

It's the left who doesn't know diplomacy. Clinton and Obama slow played that moron because politically it did them no harm. They kicked the can down the road and allow KJU to develop his weapons. Now it's time to show your cards.

Trump on the other hand is negotiating from a position of strength. A type of diplomacy that eludes Dems. Trump knows as well as every sane person in the world that NK cannot have nukes. And Trump is the only man that has the nads that will do what needs to be done. Though it may be the end of his political career. That is the catch. His political career is not his concern. The. US is. His career is as a business man.

Democrats play politics, Trump plays to win.

Because Diplomacy has worked so well over the years with NK, you're kidding right? Wow

"Trump on the other hand is negotiating from a position of strength. A type of diplomacy that eludes Dems."

Bingo. Diplomacy works best when the implied threat of force is taken to be very real. Kim Jong Un is like any other bully; allow the bullying ways to go unchallenged (actions, not rhetoric) and they are only emboldened to escalate their actions.

Red lines written in erasable ink and selling the technology that threatens us today are not examples of diplomacy, they're examples of appeasement. Neville Chamberlain should have driven a stake through the heart of that tactic 80 years ago.

Evidently some are slow on the uptake.....

Looks like our president is diplomatic enough to make China change its mind and stopping doing business with NK!

Obama's diplomacy was to put everything on hold for the next president! Or just plain give our enemies what they want. Iran comes to mind!

Couple days have gone by and atheist has come back. Just like clock work. So atheist. Do we do like obama, if there is room, draw another line in the sand, and tell N Korea not to cross it, if they do, they better watch out? I mean, it's worked so well with them. You better run off again. You are getting more ignorant, by the minute.

Tiger-eye, "His political career is not his concern. The. US is. His career is as a business man". ...and this is exactly what the media and Washington politics can not seem to digest nor understand because their actions are consumed and based on being re-elected. Play ball, play nice with the world and drop just enough crumbs off the table to your own people just short of Marshall law, and bingo!... a lifelong career. This POTUS call it as it is and many just refuse to believe how deficient we have become as both a people and the government they have seated that rules them. One term is all that is needed to expose the paper tiger America has become and this POTUS is doing a good job of it.

Almost all Republicans, Conservatives and Liberals I talk with are on the same page with North Korea. They are a dangerous country to the world led by a person who thinks he's a God, and Trump's policy of isolating them economically is a sound one (although the tweeting is schoolyard kid stuff). Stop trying to divide hunters and Americans-it's not good for our country.
