North Korea unlikely to give up all its nuclear weapons: U.S. commander | Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Weeks before a second summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the top U.S. military commander for Asia on Tuesday echoed an intelligence assessment that North Korea is unlikely to give up all its nuclear weapons.

Although he expressed optimism about the Feb. 27-28 summit in verbal testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Admiral Philip Davidson, head of the Indo-Pacific Command, expressed doubts about North Korean intentions in his written submission to the panel.
================================================
Bet this guy will be looking for work this time next week. Trump doesn't like having his illusions shattered. Meanwhile, Kim is laughing his donkey off that he's getting Trump to fly half way around the world to kiss his donkey.

How many times did Clinton or Obama or Carter or Bush I,II meet with any NK leaders? How many took it upon themselves to have a face to face meeting with a declared enemy?

Just admit that Trump is trying to do something that was completely ignored by all those I listed. You can eat the crow later.

Trump will only succeed in getting his picture taken with Kim. The NORKs will never give up their nukes because they are their guarantee of the continuity of the Kim regime.

According to the Haters, maybe. I know you think this is useful to your resistance.

Kim is playing Trump to find out what he can get from him. Relief from sanctions, food & fuel aid, single malt scotch - all the things he really needs & wants. And what do we get in return? Trump Tower Pyongyang? The Taj Mahal Pyongyang? LMAO Trump won't have to hire illegals to wait tables & clean rooms. He can get all the slave laborers he needs from one of Kim's many slave camps.

This post just shows how ridiculous you guys have become. You would rather see a status quo [or a all-out war] relationship with our enemies than give Trump credit for anything positive. Pathetic.

Why meet with someone when nothing is accomplished beyond the other getting propaganda photos and video to feed the public?

That would be your version of the story. It's hearsay.

Fact is, politicians on both sides need a bogeyman. That's why Kim is still around.

There's already been good results from their first meeting. That scares the Pols.

No more scary rocket or nuke testing...for one. Better relationship with the South, etc. Easing of tensions in the region.

Agreement that no sanctions were removed pending complete demilitarization.

Way more results than the concession given by former Admins.

And this all came out of the single meeting with Trump?

None of that has to do with ongoing negotiations with the leaders of South Korea?

Trump is just interested in international headlines and self-serving sound-bites. Is he interested in denuclearizing North Korea? Not so much. He doesn't have the attention span for such endeavors.

The fact of their testing ground being fractured and unusable for the testing has NOTHING to do with that , huh?

You got evidence to the contrary? The first meeting was to lay down a framework for future negotiations. All of what I listed happened regardless.

Where are the rocket tests? That's right, there haven't been any.

I have no evidence they didn't french kiss one another either. How about we deal with reality and not fantasy, eh?

SK and NK have been meeting quite extensively over the last year. To believe Trump actually accomplished anything with the last meeting or this one is simply naive. It's a photo op for the rubes in two countries.

You believe what you want. I prefer to be positive about what has developed since their first meeting and have high hopes for the second.

None that I know of.

AFAIK none of those POTUS had a Bottom Boy fetish like Trump. Have you noticed he's Putin's bottom boy, he's Kim Jong Un's bottom boy, he's the Saudi Prince's bottom boy. Your current POTUS is definitely a bottom boy. Which might explain why a lot of Americans like him. What do you think?
