So you admit that at this point, the deal, as it stands, amounts to jack ****?

So far we've got back our last prisoners from North Korea and they comitted to immediately sending back all US remains from lost soldiers. This is in exchange for a photo opportunity, nothing more. They've not tested a missile in 7 months. That amounts to something.

Also to have the praise from Japan, South Korea, and China going to Trump is a big deal.... These are countries that have harsh feelings towards NK. This is great from an optics standpoint for Trump politically.... gives him more much needed political credibility on the world stage.... Setting the table for the next 6.5 years.

Well, it isn’t “nothing more.”

We agreed to end military exercises in South Korea.

That’s something.

Also, the meeting itself lends legitimacy to North Korea. Giving that legitimacy doesn’t cost us anything, but it can only be given once. And we did so in exchange for virtually nothing.

We agreed to end costly 'war games'... Do you like spending taxpayer money flying bombers 6.5 hours from Guam to NK just to practice? I thought you were against wasteful military spending.

I know it's a left talking point, but please describe what you mean by legitimacy to North Korea? Be specific. Do you think other countries will now say gee whiz look at that photo we should lift all our sanctions??

Neither of those are a huge deal, I just wouldn't pretend that this meeting was anything other than PR.

Trump can say he made a deal. Kim gets to use the picture of him shaking hands with the President of the United States as propaganda. But, in the end, nothing really changes.

This summit is just foreplay. A first step. Before Trump's term is up, yes or no.... Will Trump get NK to denuclearize?

Obviously the answer is no.

There are 2 "n's" in conned.

And that is what you got out of the rant? I gave you more credit then that

To be fair, it is hard to see through the rage to get anything out of that rant.
