Russia interfered. The US interferes. Every nation interferes. (Ronald Reagan interfered in french elections)

I havent seen anything that says or implies that trump colluded with them. And to date i dont believe he did.

Most of the criminal charges could have and should have been brought outside of the special prosecutors initial tasking. And i am glad that they are being prosecuted, but so far none of the charges or released information points to collusion from the trump campaign.

As for canada and the G7, we are not worried about them launching nukes at us but we still want to have the right to create trade deals that are favorable to our country.

You should study Reagan more punch. He would never have accepted the tarriffs canada and europe already impose on our products. [URL]http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=33502[/URL] In touting his free trade agreement he praised canada for removing ALL tarriffs.

Oh boy Chico. Im going to let you in on a little secret: There has been absolutely no denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. None. Jung Un took a photo op to Singapore where he finally got what he wanted : recognition on a world stage - something to put on stamps and murals in North Korea for years to come - and u r talking denuclearization? Wow. Ok Hannity. Get a grip. Also the fact that

As the news cycle begins to bombard us with all the over coverage from today meeting, lets prepare for the bias, left leaning media to discredit everything pro-Trump about this historic 1st meeting. Lets get ahead of the bs.

1. If you hear "nothing has changed"...laugh to yourself about this fake news...the 2 leaders met giving a good faith symbolic gesture, but negotiations have been on going...everything has changed. Never before

2. If you hear "North Korea has always wanted this meeting, nothing new"...LOL at this ridiculous fake news statement...The difference here is Nuclear Disarmament has NEVER, say it again, NEVER been on the table from the North Koreans. NEVER. The ONLY reason this happened is North Korean has stated they are ready to Denuclearize. They have NEVER been willing to bring this to the table. Are we clear?

3. Oh no, Trump said nice things about Kim Un Fat the Third! Oh no, Oh no, what are we gonna do? Are feelings gonna be hurt? Use your fuckin head retard, playing to the ego of this guy...just like Kim has done with Trump. This is a NON Story. This will be choice lead of the liberal media because it has zero substance.

4. Trump gave up (or suspended) joint exercise with South Korea...I somehow forgot this was a big sticking point for libs that they were for military exercises (sarcasm). But our Troops will remain there period...Trump said "envisioned a future he sees a reduced troop presence". SO if you hear "less Troops" that is fake news. ALSO what will never be mentioned by the media, the nuclear umbrella defense was [B]never[/B] on the table and remains.

So think on this one, no two week military training exercise vs the start of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

5. I think the biggest thing here that will not be brought up by the media...Good faith diplomacy. Diplomatic solution being sought out by Trump. Everyone was crying about how Trump was heading towards a nuclear war just several months ago...guess what folks Trump brought them to the table using diplomacy. So if you hear anything negative about talking with North Korea...laugh out loud about this fake news....this was always the best option, don't let the media state its not...now.

Allright, let the fake news watch begin!

The key point is Chico, nobody cares what is said. We only care what is actually done.

If they sign an agreement, that's a tangible action that's worth applauding. If they actually take steps to fulfill the agreement, that's an even better tangible step worth applauding.

But I'm not going to applaud Trump and Kim standing up there and saying we intend to denuclearize. The North Koreans have said they'd capitulate before - going back in history. They haven't actually done it.

If it actually happens then Trump will deserve a Nobel Peace Prize, that's how significant an achievement it will be. But I'm not interested in words. Only actions and achievements.

President Trump, as part of the historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, reversed longstanding U.S. policy by calling for an end to military drills on the Korean Peninsula and saying he wants to bring U.S. troops home from the region – the president’s latest convention-defying move on the international stage in less than a week.

chico, thats from fox. trump wants to remove our troops. and as far as never been done, president clinton came the closest. having a solid stepping stone towards peace. then W happened

Doesn't make strategic sense even from the standpoint of remaining in tactically advantageous positions to deal with Putin should the need ever arise.

Watching Chris Cuomo talk to Dennis Rodman while Rodman took shots at Pres. Obama and praised Pres. Trump (while wearing a MAGA hat) was pretty fun.

Until we really have substantial verification processes in place, I think everyone should have a healthy skepticism about NK's sincerity. The Reagan refrain of Trust but Verify has never been more important, it also is the issue with the Iran deal, when the country being inspected can say things are off limits, and you have to give them significant lead time notice, that isn't a real verification process. IF a deal that includes denuclearization does get done, it will be judged by that same standard.

There is no unbiased media anymore, and Trump's presidency has highlighted that.

I don't fault Punch for thinking that Mueller's investigation is going to produce some shocking outcome that will force Trump out, any more than I fault a Fox news viewer for believing that it was all a FBI conspiracy. You can't get balanced news anymore, even if you watch multiple outlets. You simply get the proTrump/antiTrump spin trumped up to the Nth degree.


Some things I consider reality with as little spin as possible:
NK tensions have eased considerably
Stock market numbers are in positive territory
Our allies feelings are hurt, but not to the point of abandoning any of our alliances
The economy is generally good
Oil prices are rising due to mideast and global pressures
Israel/Iran tensions are a serious concern
US school shootings have not been dealt with in any effective way

Punch, I agree with your point to a degree. I think though it goes back to who trusted who. In my opinion, Pres Obama would sell out the US capitalistic beliefs in a heartbeat, and when he made treaties, he was looking for us to move towards more socialism, and his deals often if not always favored our opponents. In my opinion, Trump is looking for more capitalistic, US friendly or US win deals.

If the same exact events happened under Pres Obama, I would have felt far less secure and far more like he was selling us out. I don't believe Pompeo, or Bolton are going to be taken by surprise and I believe they are going to help ensure that any treaties that may be signed are truly verifiable.

I would also add that the exact same in reverse could be said about CNN/MSNBC hosts, IF Pres Obama had made these exact same actions, CNN and MSNBC would have been slobbering over him.

One other thing though, NK did dismantle a test site, and then today announced dismantling a rocket facility (i believe, but waiting to see confirmation) Yes those are both steps that can be reversed, but so can holding training excersises. And I promise one thing, while we will know if they try to rebuild, our armed forces and SK's are more than ready even with one training cycle cancelled. I would call these steps on both sides decent good faith efforts, and hopefully they lead to a verifiable, lasting peace.

I did read the texts of the Panmounjung accord from earlier this year and the agreement text from yesterday. There is still wiggle room, and I imagine if NK decides to get out of the deal, our next practices will be pretty damn intense.

What hasn't been addressed at all in any of the texts is how NK/SK become one Korea again, even it is stated as a goal throughout.

If you further read up on the dismantling of the “test” site. It is one of hundreds AND more importantly it had served its purpose and was no longer necessary. NK put their propaganda spin on it being some olive branch of peace and Fox news ran with it because they want Trump to look like a peace maker. Lol. NK and SK will never be one Korea as long as a murderous dictatorship is running NK and for Trump to say that he is impressed with Jung Un for being able to take over and run it in a “tough” way does nothing towards a goal of world peace.

Trump is no Reagan, but he is the most anti-socialism/ pro capitalistic Realpolitik president since Reagan.

That is about as weak and spineless as it gets. You have the chance to posture while the world is watching and you undermine your own countries military operations.

Are you asking the biggest liberal in the world if I like the idea of bringing troops home, shutting the door on our military options and it resulting in Jung Un coming to his senses and we all go on living happily ever after. Um....yeah that sounds good. Lol.
Problem is Jung Un is a murderous dictator and Trump told the world he “loves his people “. He also followed up on his military comments by saying “practice is expensive “ - so if we do stop those military options- we better hope to God that this crazy mother fucker (jung un, not Trump - lol) better be so softened up by Trumps soft ass words that he indeed changes his tune and suddenly becomes some sort of Santa Clause. But even the worlds biggest liberal isn’t fooled by Jung Un taking a selfie and shaking a hand. The guy is probably lining up a firing squad right now and printing stamps of his photo op he just had. NO I DO NOT TRUST JUNG UN. Trump just blew sunshine up some monsters ass for the world to see. We looked extremely week, and him calling him names on Twitter in a couple months when Jung Un doesn’t even entertain denuclearization isn’t good enough.
Sometimes there just is no solution. We have been holding a presence at the DMZ forever. He fires rockets into the ocean. The world goes on. Now Trump has tried insulting him for the world to see. Trump has tried to kiss his ass for the world to see. But now what happens the next time he tests a rocket? Than you just might wish Trump had left well enough alone. Because there are a whole lot of innocent people that live within striking distance of that hornets nest.

[quote=Schneed10;1195481]The key point is Chico, nobody cares what is said. We only care what is actually done.

If it actually happens then Trump will deserve a Nobel Peace Prize, that's how significant an achievement it will be. But I'm not interested in words. Only actions and achievements.[/quote]

No,not really. A dictator who has been playing with nuclear weapons and has been threatening Japan ,S.Korea and the US has screwed up his nuclear program so bad the test site collapsed their program is done, and trump wants to but this man on the World stage as a leader when everyone else knows he is crazy and all the while trump is lying to our allies,nope ,sorry don't see it.

I agree with Schneed. I hate Trump as much as Punch/G1 but if he's effective in getting NK to dismantle their nukes program we gotta give him credit.

With that being said, talk is cheap. Not just cheap, it's 3rd world country cheap with our Prez. He can hate you one day, but if you kiss his ass the next he'll say your one of the greatest people he's ever known. So yeah, we need to see actions, not just lip service. Especially with a despised dictator on the other end, who's as unstable as Trump is.

TL;DR: Peace is very achievable here, but there are 2 guys making the deal known for flip-flopping. And there's always the possibility KJU tries to present NK as a country who's giving up his nukes but keeps a secret stash somewhere.

The "news" channels no longer report just the facts they all shade it with heavy positional bias.
