Kim Jong Un extending invitation to meet with Trump, official says

Re: Kim Jong Un extending invitation to meet with Trump (update will meet in May)

Mike Pence is already babbling trump will concede nothing....Some meeting it will be (if it even happens)...Still South Korea will go forward either way, they are tired of the endless posturing between the North and the US and may agree to a breakthrough without trump....A break thru where the North ends it's Nuclear program and the US is asked to start removing it's Military presence in Korea
 
Re: Kim Jong Un extending invitation to meet with Trump (update will meet in May)

Yeah Iran has built all kinds of Nuclear weapons recently.....LOL

You aren't actually trying to praise Obama for that Iran nuclear deal, are you?

Yeah Iran is a real threat with all their "Nukes" aimed at America.....Are you in a bunker hiding?
 
Re: Kim Jong Un extending invitation to meet with Trump (update will meet in May)

White House Press Secretary, rightly, backtracking on meet with Kim. Preconditions may be included, heck the meet may not happen at all.


Sure, it makes the President look like an idiot, but backtracking is preferable to a bad idea.

Iran Defies Call to Drop Nuclear Plans - The New York Times

TEHRAN, Oct. 12 — The Iranian leadership is vowing to continue to defy an international demand to stop nuclear activities while refusing to condemn North Korea for its reported test of a small nuclear device. He said the decision was made easier by the fact that Iran voluntarily suspended enrichment three years ago, a cooperative gesture that proved fruitless. “If we had not experienced that path, perhaps we would have criticized ourselves today,” he said. “But now we will pursue with a strong heart.”

Iran blamed the United States for the nuclear test that North Korea said it conducted Monday. “The root cause of this should be sought in the
policy, behavior and method adopted by the rulers of the United States,”

North Korea and Iran have collaborated on missile development in the past, and the State Department is currently monitoring weapons
transactions and attempting to determine whether there has been cooperation between the two nations on ballistic missile capability
which does not fall under the restrictions agreed to in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

Obama did not dot his I's or cross the t's on this one. Plus transfering of $1.7 billion to Iran earlier this year was made entirely in cash,
using non-U.S. currency enabled Iran to sponsor more terrorism while Obama was hoping this giveaway would bring Iran into the
fold. Terrible deal but not as anti-American as Mrs. Clinton donating 20% of our uranium into Russian hands as the Clinton Foundation
was enriched by many millions.
 
Re: Kim Jong Un extending invitation to meet with Trump (update will meet in May)

The White House is now walking back its walk back. Now, meeting has been accepted.

In 24 hours or less:

Tillerson: Long way off from this.

President: I accept w/ no preconditions and I'm going by May

Sanders: No commitment on meeting, preconditions must be set, may not happen at all.

White House Offical to WSJ reporter: Actually, it's still on.

Scared of what? Even when BO was in office Iran's weapons had no chance of bothering the country where I reside, but all those in Iran's neighborhood
hated the possibilities Obama's Iran deal presented. Everyone is safer now (and richer) because unlike every politician before him Trump has only one special
interest group...the American citizen.
 
Re: Kim Jong Un extending invitation to meet with Trump (update will meet in May)

Opinion piece.

ISIS is about done. Trump is President. Nice try...opaque...but nice.

Now Trump's gonna go to NK. If he manages to push things in the right direction, will that be Barry's doing as well?

Re: Kim Jong Un extending invitation to meet with Trump (update will meet in May)

I am so tired of correcting you people...

- August, 2014: Speaking about U.S. airstrikes on IS in Iraq, Obama declared that "this is going to be a long-term project."

- August, 2014: Kurdish and Iraqi government forces, with the help of those airstrikes, took back the Mosul Dam from IS.

- September, 2014: Obama announced that he would begin to pursue airstrikes in Syria against IS with or without congressional approval.

- October, 2014: The Department of Defense formally established Combined JTF - Operation Inherent Resolve to deal with IS.

- December, 2014: At NATO headquarters in Brussels, diplomats and foreign ministers from 59 countries gathered to plot a way forward against the threat of IS.

- January, 2015: Half of IS' leaders in Iraq and Syria had been killed off; and the US began coordinating airstrikes with a Kurdish launched ground offensive.

- February, 2015: Another 1,300 US troops were deployed to Iraq to advise, increasing the number of US ground troops in Iraq to 4,400.

- February, 2015: Last ISIS stronghold in Aleppo province falls.

- May, 2015: Iraqi/Turkish forces had taken Tikrit, Ramadi, and Tal Abyad back from IS. IS becomes more active to control territory in Syria.

- October, 2015: Iraqi forces regain Iraq's largest oil refinery from IS.

- November, 2015: Kurdish forces regain Sinjar from IS.

- February, 2016: Iraqi forces retake (again) Ramadi from IS.

- June, 2016: Iraqi forces regain Fallujah from IS.

- January, 2017: Donald Trump shows up at the White House.

- July, 2017: The Iraqi Prime Minister, Abadi, formally declared a local Iraqi victory over IS on July 10, 2017 and then declare total control of the Syrian/Iraqi border in December, after three years of airstrikes and ground assaults.

Thanks God for Donald Trump? I think not.

In August 2014, IS was targeted in at least Libya, Afghanistan, Cameroon, Somalia, and Yemen. By September of 2014, IS began losing ground in Iraq; and major city footholds began to fall, starting with the Mosul Dam territory. The years-long close-air campaign consisted of U.S., British, Dutch, French, Jordanian, and Moroccan airstrikes. Before Trump took office in January of 2017, IS was reeling and it's occupation in Iraq/Syria had been reduced to near nothing. He inherited. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter...st_ISIL#International_coalitions_against_ISIL

And in regards to North Korea, Trump's unorthodoxy amounted to mere public insults and poor behavior. Legitimizing it as some sort of calculated Trump tactic is foolish. Everything going on right now is largely only between the North and the South and people would be wise to look into the historical precedence here. The North and the South are talking, despite Trump. But talks between the two have absolutely nothing to do with the North wanting to give up it's Ace in the hole (nukes).

As I've said. Trump is president. ISIS is fading quick. NK and SK are talking and Trump's been invited to talk with Kim. Something Barry never did.

Re: Kim Jong Un extending invitation to meet with Trump (update will meet in May)

Your source is an ignorant columnist who very much appears to be a Trump promoter and encourages that one should get his/her news from simple Internet blogs. It's right there in the opinionated commentary you presented.

The documented history is clear. Trump inherited years of fighting from multiple countries, and as the Pentagon (and Mattis) was mopping up the back end of that long effort, Trump showed up and stayed out of the way. Damn, the fixated devotion that some of you people have for this man is unreal.

And the hatred and inability to admit when you're just wrong is also unreal.
But hey...everybody loves a sore looser...right?

Seriously?...You think the GOP would have been okay with President Obama agreeing to one on one talks with North Korea?,,,Judging by the news in the last 24 hours they aren't okay with trump doing it, how soon you forget

I have no idea what the GOP would have thought of Barry meeting Kim.
Nor do you. Trump doesn't care what a handful of Republicans or Democrats think about his meeting with The Dear Leader. And that's why he won the election. This development is a good thing. Try to deal with that...

Actually I do know, the GOP was screaming and slobbering over themselves over the Iran deal....They would have called President Obama an "appeaser"..."naive"...For any one on one meeting with North Korea....Already the White House is walking the meeting back...No doubt the Hardliners have gotten to trump

Trump's policy on ISIS is the same as Obama's was. So who gets the credit is debatable.

On N. Korea, Trump has gone from insulting Kim Jong-un, then threatening to destroy his country, to accepting Mr. Kim’s invitation for a face-to-face meeting within two months.

Trump agreed to the invitation instantly, and the fact that this temperamental president, who is ill informed and ill prepared on complex national security issues, will be across the table from Mr. Kim should give us shivers and make us worry.

While #45 supporters hail this as a breakthrough, they are jumping the gun. Nothing has been settled and negotiations take a long time.

Along with the invitation, [FONT=&quot]Kim Jong-un sent Trump a gilded book as a present, written in Korean, titled: "나팔을 봉사하는"[/FONT]

I don't know what that means and I don't care.
You think Trump is incapable of dealing with foreign affairs. You think he's to inexperienced and unorthodox.
Yet all orthodox methods have been tried and failed.

I'm going to relate my next point to the quote you so condescendingly include on all your posts by J.S Mill.

Stupidity...is trying the same failed strategy over and over, expecting different results.
That is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.

How could have imagined that international relations could be so complicated?

Perhaps there is no solution that is acceptable to both NK and the US and, therefore, that's why there has never been an agreement. Meanwhile, NK has wanted to be viewed as a big play and, therefore, wanted a face-to-face with a U.S. president. Trump just have away for free what other presidents have required some sort of concession.

OK so we have an impasse.
I think it would have been stupid to have refused a meeting in past admins.
But I don't think NK ever invited a IS president to meet with them before.
