Korea

[mgrist]

Seems to be a big deal about North Korea shutting down a test site and not doing anymore tests pertaining to nuclear weapons.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said the regime no longer needs nuclear tests or intercontinental ballistic missile tests

snip snip

and that the nuclear test site in northern area has also completed its mission,

By my interpretation they are saying there is no need to test anymore because they are now loaded for bear. What am I missing?

political bating... he's playing trumps game. 6 months from now it will be all the same game.

I'm glad that we're establishing contact with the maniac. We'll see what happens

This is like a movie loop. North Korea has been manipulating American Presidents for a very long time.

Some don't know we now have a new man in the White House, he does love to bargain to get his way.

I guess you say promising “Fire & Fury” is bargaining in a way, Billie.

Kevin, do you ever sleep?......Ben

Well, no. I used to but for whatever reason, I get about 3 hours of sleep a day now. I wish I could sleep.

[Truckman]

I can relate...Nowadays I limit my sleep to emergencies only......Ben

It has been a game forever, one that they keep winning while their entire population starves because of sanctions and leadership. I don't suppose we can ever do anything about that but I seriously hope we can do something about the nukes. I'm still not sure what happened with the nukes in Iran everything I read is different but it all sounds like they now have nukes. "Obama paid for them" "might as well of gave them what they needed" etc...So I still don't know the truth. Now we are going into talks with another nut case. Different actors on our side this time, different mentality's to go along with them. If it wasn't for those pesky South Koreans... I believe we could solve our problems with the North rather quickly but not quick enough to protect South Korea which has been our problem since the fifties and a problem forever. Neat/interesting history on Korea by the way, can't say that I remember a lot but I do remember it being an interesting read beyond it just being another history book.

I only have trouble sleeping when I feel guilty about something I did or did not do. Being a sociopath helps with my rest.

Will it....Trump is not a politician, he is learning and looks more presidential now than when elected....

However, he knows how to make a deal and who to trust and not to trust, ya know ya can't trust anything that NK says, it' all lies and based on lies....

That being said, how does one put controls in place to watch/monitor and to guide a lying psychopath....

You can't and you can't call the psychopath a psychopath or anything but dear friend. Trump is a big time business man that means he's also a big time con man and a twister of truth. He'll have to keep in mind the different cultures which he is also good at but I think he can pull this off. It has been mentioned that he has never gone bankrupt with his own money, like three times now? He can play the games. I forgot his name but the Korean leaded needs to be told that he will comply or he'll be ruling in hell regardless of his counter measures. He needs to feel what everybody around him feels and that is fear. Live your happy go lucky life under our weapons rules or die, period!
