"South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un held a surprise meeting at the demilitarized zone Saturday aimed at keeping inter-Korean relations, and a possible summit between Mr. Kim and President Donald Trump, on track."
"South Korea’s presidential office announced the two-hour meeting after it had wrapped up, saying the two leaders met on the north side of the demilitarized zone and discussed how to successfully stage a summit between Messrs. Trump and Kim" (WSJ).

Moon is "good cop" to Trump's "bad cop"?
How fortuitous all the cops in North Korea are "bad cops", else Kim Jong Un might catch on.
The trick is to find a way for North Korea to want the deal more than we do. The ultimate success will depend a lot on the cooperation, or at least the acquiescence of China.
Let me guess the headlines:
Moon saves summit derailed by Trump.
Kim Jong Un and Moon looking like the adults in this situation.
I say we give the Norks $10 each to buy alcohol so they'll like us.
I should have said, “Let me guess Inga’s comment.”
Can't we just drop Inga on North Korea?
Time to quit fucking around.
Can't we just drop Inga on North Korea?
Clods From God.
Unconditional Surrender Trump. Just playing with the Left and embarrassing them day after day.
Inga is just advancing the latest democrat Support KJU/HAMAS/MS13/IranMullahs (now) that the dems used to pull (Stalin/KimIlSung/Mao/Castro/HoChiMinh/DanielOrtega, etc)
There has never been an enemy of America that the left didn't support. Openly.
Ever.
Teddy Kennedy appealed directly to Yuri Andropov to work together to oppose Reagan!
And every complaint about Trump re: China/NK negotiations was lobbed against Reagan re: Gorbachev and the Soviets. But only every single one.
“Inga is just advancing the latest democrat Support KJU/HAMAS/MS13/IranMullahs (now) that the dems used to pull (Stalin/KimIlSung/Mao/Castro/HoChiMinh/DanielOrtega, etc)

Drago, engaging in his daily hyperbole in public. At least close the door and turn on the fan and don’t forget to wash your hands after.
Has anyone gone back to whatever thread was going the night of the debate where Romney warned about the Russians, and Obama laughed it off with his "The 80's called" line?
I know Inga now pretends that she disagreed with Obama at the time.
Seeing what was said by her and our other resident lefties at the time would be instructive, I think.
”Has anyone gone back to whatever thread was going the night of the debate where Romney warned about the Russians, and Obama laughed it off with his "The 80's called" line?”
We’d have to figure out what name she was going by back then.
Drago happens to be correct, generally speaking.
The US bien pensant class, the people who hate Trump the most (leaving out the conservative think-tank crowd who hate for other reasons), were reliably enamored of every anti-American monster there ever was. Its just a matter of paying attention over the last half-century. And history extends that back to 1945.
Its even a trope that extends across the Atlantic, well described by Orwell with respect to Britain. The same sort of people are also found in Australia.
In the end, Kim and Moon are the ones that matter.
It is difficult to see the Kim regime surviving any opening up though, but perhaps its situation now is so dire that there is no other choice left.
Can't we just drop Inga on North Korea?
Geneva Convention, dude.

Moon seems to be the on who is doing the heavy lifting here in a largely egoless way, which is appropriate given that his country would greatly benefit from reduced tension. Not sure if his end game is the removal of US troops from Korea, but it could be.

Nobody loves Goliath.
Heck, it wasn't that long ago that IF Stone, who was making a hero of Kim Il Sung, was honored in the intellectual constellations. And contributed a fair bit to Howard Zinn's work. Both have been superceded by even less factual/intellectual heroes, the modern academic fashion being pure non-white emotion.
Evil-worshiping fatuousness has been replaced by idiocy and confused rage. The next step is I think plain bestiality.
And so on and so forth.
The South's peasants better start learning Chink...fast!
The North, with China in the drivers seat is going to make the Imperialists bag their money and flee.
Agree with Hagar.
The two Koreas are the ones that should be doing most of the talking.
The US is involved due to the Nuke threats against the US.
Technically NK is still at war with SK.
No peace treaty has been signed yet...
Militarily, SK outside of nukes, chemical, and biological weapons is more powerful than NK.
NK is dependent on China due to their broken economy.
NK leadership needs outside perceived threat to stay in power.
Libya betrayal by US (Obama’s) is huge issue for NK.
I’m amazed dialogue is going so well and US has not given away the kitchen sink already, as we usually do.
I love how the lefties narratives change every single day as they react to the most superficial and singular manifestations of a deep and comprehensive negotiation with China that involves Trade, security and military moves across the entire region (not just the Koreas).
The Korean peninsula discussion is just one aspect of many that are in play as we speak and ALL the substantive discussions for that aspect are happening between US and China negotiators. The NK/SK can have as many photo ops as they'd like. In the end, NK will do what Xi dictates...which will depend on the outcome of the US/China talks.
But the lefty mob requires reinforcement that all their beliefs are super duper valid and that beast must be fed continuously lest armies of pussy-hatted Starbucks trashers take to the streets!
LOL
I do find it amusing that the lefties, after 24 hours of screeching about the failure of Trump to pull off the summit are now beginning to realize their mistake and are shifting to a -Moon / KJU- together will save the day narrative.
Hilarious.
Its not "nobody" ARM.
Its a particular class that does the hating.
The thing is also definitely Anglosphere, though there is a limited degree of it in the rest of Western Europe.
The peculiar nature of the thing is an active and open hatred of the volk.
" And history extends that back to 1945."
It goes back farther than that. How about "I have seen the future and it works?"
Then of course, millionaire Warren Beatty memorialized it.
Beatty was following in the honored tradition of Dalton Trumbo, who was also recently memorialized by Hollywood, where the rich go to get absolution by the left.
Wager his goal is to keep the extortion, bribery funds from the South rolling in. IIRC most of the North Korean Economy has been funded this way. Especially bribery for a long time by the other countries to pretend they didn't have WMD else the other country's citizens would have demanded military action. So the politicians there (and and in the U.S.) decided that being held hostage was the better part of valor. kick the can down the road again, we can just borrow more money from China. Demonstrate to the world we are a paper tiger, just talk no bite, and certainly not great.
...were reliably enamored of every anti-American monster there ever was. Its just a matter of paying attention over the last half-century. And history extends that back to 1945.
Trump has praised Putin, Duterte, Erdogan, el-Sisi, and Jinping. Pay attention yourself.
”Libya betrayal by US (Obama’s) is huge issue for NK.”
Heck of a job, Barry!
If need for US troops under whatever theory is obviated, it is win.win.win.
Could be Trump's goal. If He is clever enough to shoot for that.
Inga think al Sisi is "an Anti-American monster."
Way to go Inga. I see you (and Barry and ValJar) prefer the Muslim Brotherhood.
Kim can worry about Libya when they discover mass sweet crude oil deposits under North Korean mountains
Trump even said Kim Jong Un was “very honorable”. Or did you forget?
True re pre-1945 for love of totalitarian monsters, though this was not usually bound up in hatred of your country.
Post 1945 it was explicitly a worship of enemies of your country.
Michael K: "Inga think al Sisi is "an Anti-American monster."
Inga's ignorance of the players, their history and clear goals is invincible.
It wasn't Al Sisi that the US explicitly backed. The US government was quite unhappy about his coup.
Rather, the administration was extremely friendly to Egypts Muslim Brotherhood government of Mohammed Morsi.
of course, the last administration reminds me of deborgraves and moss's spike, how a left wing network like the ips them, cap now, takes over an administration, there are parallels re
pressuring authoritarian regimes, and allowing totalitarian ones to fill the vaccuum
“Inga think al Sisi is "an Anti-American monster."”
I know you’re old but have you forgotten that when you use quotation marks it means you’re quoting someone? Where did I say he was an “Anti-American monster”? Sisi is an authoritarian, the type Trump seems to like.
“Sisi, who seized power in a coup, has cracked down in Egypt, where a brief flirtation with democracy during the Arab Spring resulted in a Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government (which Sisi ousted). The U.S. State Department says the most serious human-rights problems there involve “excessive use of force by security forces, deficiencies in due process, and the suppression of civil liberties.” Human Rights Watch says Sisi’s government “maintained its zero-tolerance policy towards dissent… and [continued] near-absolute impunity for abuses by security forces under the pretext of fighting
Kadaffi was quite popular in the Euro-American left of the day, back when he was supporting the Red Brigades and the IRA or whomever else the Soviets planted on him.
buwaya: "Rather, the administration was extremely friendly to Egypts Muslim Brotherhood government of Mohammed Morsi."
Indeed.
The Muslim Brotherhood and Sayyid Qutb...the intellectual and philosophical forebears of Al Qaeda.
the uae and the kingdom were rightfully concerned with the rise of the brotherhood's man, morsi and the men he released like bait al maqdisi's godfather, tarek zamour,

The leftists are just pretending to support our enemies and root for war.
The real issue is they think the only way a president can negotiate with our enemies is by bowing apologies and pallets of cash because the US is uniquely evil.
Leftists are a cancer on a free country.
Inga: "Sisi is an authoritarian, the type Trump seems to like."
An obama fan actually wrote that. Just now.
LOL
Sisi does the same as every Egyptian government since the pharaohs.
There has never been a government in Egypt, not even during the British-dominated monarchy, that has not done as per the US State department statement.
whereas us and European policy, have made exactly that assumption since 1989, yet unstated, in their industrial and government partnerships,
“Indeed, his [Trump’s] fondness for strongmen and dictators isn’t limited to Xi Jinping or any other individual in power now. He has praised Iraq’s Saddam Hussein (while also criticizing him as “a bad guy”) for killing terrorists. “He did that so good,” Trump said in July 2016. “They didn’t read them the rights. They didn’t talk. They were terrorists. Over.”
Trump also said in 2016 that Libya would be better off “if [Moammar] Gaddafi were in charge right now.” He once tweeted a quote from Benito Mussolini, the Italian fascist leader, and later defended the tweet, saying: “Mussolini was Mussolini ... It’s a very good quote. It’s a very interesting quote... what difference does it make whether it’s Mussolini or somebody else?”
Trump even said China’s brutal crackdown on protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989 “shows you the power of strength,” contrasting the Communist Party’s action with the United States, which he said “is right now perceived as weak.” Trump made those comments in 1990. When asked about the remarks during the presidential debate in 2016, Trump defended himself and appeared to take the Chinese Communist Party’s view of the events at Tiananmen. He dismissed the deadly military response as a “riot.””
The Atlantic
the parallel is with the shah, if the huyser mission had been successful,
NK is dependent on China
NK is China.
In South Korea, I think "Moon" is like "Smith". A very popular name. Which blumts somewhat the negative connotations of the "Moonies" - the famous cult led by Rev. Sun Yung Moon and his brother Won Hung Lo.
well Nasser did have an assist from Copeland and eichelberger, but he turned to the soviets after suez, deciding a regime so willing to discard a close ally like the uk, wasn't worth trusting,
REgarding Sisi,
“Religious freedom is almost nonexistent — Christians are routinely discriminated against; churches are limited and speaking out against Islam, even ISIS, can land you in prison. Four Christian children, in fact, were sentenced to five years in prison for putting up a video that mocked ISIS. ... The government has undertaken some perfunctory steps to curb violence against women, but Human Rights Watch says, "Sexual harassment and violence against women remained endemic." The new Interior Minister, a woman, has put the onus on women, telling them to avoid speaking loudly and to be cautious about how they dress. Women are also routinely discriminated against in family law cases. ...”

SK is rich enough to replace China economically for NK.
China does not want a unified Korea. They are very happy with a buffer state.
Part of China was part of a historical Korean kingdom, and still has ethnic Koreans there.
The psyops of Trump's speech to the Navy Academy graduates was the most powerful shot taken at the Norks. The Asians still fear at a subconscious level what the US Navy aircraft carriers can do.

I guess you could call Obama and company "The US Government."
al Sisi is the guy who got the MB out of power after they had murdered Anwar Sadat and sucked up to Obama and ValJar.
Inga is a never ending source of giggles about her concept of foreign policy.
Trump even said China’s brutal crackdown on protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989 “shows you the power of strength,” contrasting the Communist Party’s action with the United States, which he said “is right now perceived as weak.”
So, it was not "a power of strength ?"
Inga is always amusing.
Inga cuts and pasted from leftist outlets. Confirms the left hates the US and the freedom we fight for around the world.
Doesn’t understand why she is making our case for us.
You have to be pretty stupid to parrot the leftists right now.
plus he had more imput, from german bnd, notably alois brunner, who figures in phillip Kerr's penultimate novel, greeks bearing gifts, gehlen admitted brunner, because of not inspite of his record in france and Greece, and he set about from his base in Damascus, to manage a rocket program to target Israel from Egypt, a detail we discover from Bergmann's latest, is that the mossad had used skorzeny and one of his lieutenants, valentin, to target the network
Sun Yung Moon and his brother Won Hung Lo.
Isn't that last guy the co-pilot of that China Airlines plane that crash landed at SFO?
You know, the one flown by captain Ho Le Fuc?
Inga, unexpectedly, comes out in full favor of the Muslim Brotherhood.
I did not see that coming!
LOL
For those keeping track: dems now vocally supporting Kim Jong Un, the Muslim Brotherhood, MS13, Hamas and many other "minor" players.
BTW, we find out today that 1,500 unaccompanied minor children the democrats wanted to enter the US were given to "adults" who claimed (with no proof) to be the "guardians" or "parents" of these children and all 1,500 of them have "disappeared" into the interior of the US.
Well, it's hard to have child sex slavery without children victims....and without dems enabling you.
Think of this as the US lefties version of UK's Rotherham scandal.
It would be nice to know what all else they talked about, but "leaking" has more serious consequences under authoritarian governments.
Besides, someone has to be interested in finding out and printing it for a leaker to leak.
"Please, don't listen to anyone but me. I am dead serious. Be careful, no one should abuse my patience and good manners to bring down the state. I swear by God that anyone who comes near it, I will remove him from the face of the Earth. I am telling you this as the whole of Egypt is listening. What do you think you're doing? Who are you?"
el-Sisi
"I will tell you, President al-Sisi has been somebody that's been very close to me from the first time I met him. I met during the campaign, and at that point there were two of us, and we both met. And hopefully you like me a lot more.”
Donald Trump
Drago, those children had not yet received their MS 13 tattoos so could not be recognized.
"al Sisi is the guy who got the MB out of power after they had murdered Anwar Sadat and sucked up to Obama and ValJar."
Yep.
The lefties HATE al Sisi for that. obama and Jarrett and the rest of the Ben Rhodes crew worked very hard to suck up to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
And why not? Those were the guys whacking all the Egyptian Coptic Christians and whacking Christians has never been a bad thing from obama's point of view.
Inga, it's nice that you help us to see that al Sisi is in a good relationship with the president.
I realize that you prefer the Muslim Brotherhood that assassinated Anwar Sadat because he signed that peace treaty with Israel.
Still, I prefer rulers that like us.
“And why not? Those were the guys whacking all the Egyptian Coptic Christians and whacking Christians has never been a bad thing from obama's point of view.”

Inga is on "Auto-Cut-n-Paste" mode now. It's a nervous reflex and requires no understanding nor analysis.
Because...duh.
Sorry Inga.
No matter how much you cry and whine for the Muslim Brotherhood and their Al Qaeda pals to be brought back to power in Egypt and accelerate their murder of Coptic Christians, Trump isn't going to allow it to happen.
And your Mad Mullah Iranian leaders have been put on notice too.
And your pal Putin (you know, the guy who paid Hillary and gave lies to your dem oppo researchers) knows now that if he doesn't want more Russian "mercs" wiped out he better not cross Trump in Syria.
You know, Syria. The nation obama literally gave to Putin for Putin's "assistance" with Syrian chemical weapons! My God, it really is astonishing isn't it how stupid obama and the dems were with all that?
LOL
“For those keeping track: dems now vocally supporting Kim Jong Un, the Muslim Brotherhood, MS13, Hamas and many other "minor" players.”
More public defection. Sheesh Drago take some Immodium.
Al Sisi in Egypt is MBS's protege. And his only crime is being favorable to the oldest Christian Denomination on earth. That makes him an Evil person to allah's jihadists and to Obama supporters.
it really is astonishing isn't it how stupid obama and the dems were with all that?
Shhhhh. Don't hurt Inga's feelings.
Don’t be fact averse Drago, or does it upset your delicate tummy?
BTW, al Sisi has been cooperating quite nicely with the new alliance Trump has forged with Saudi Arabia, Israel and Jordan.
That is quite an accomplishment and that alliance is being utilized to squeeze the insane mullahs of Iran and their Russian allies.
So, to summarize:
obama supports Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, obama invites Russian into Syria, obama gives $150 Billion to mad mullahs in Iran, obama cuts a sham "deal" with the Iranians that gives them everything they want
Trump and the Trump Middle East alliance bomb's the s*** out of Iran proxies in Syria, Yemen and elsewhere, Trump whacks Russian soldier/mercs in Syria, Trump squeezes Iran through sanctions, and I could go on and on and on.
LOL
"More public defection. Sheesh Drago take some Immodium."
If only Inga had been there to advise the east Germans, they would not have had to build that wall.
It's not even lunchtime and Igna has expanded the list of terrorists and gangs adored by the democrats. Defending the spark of divinity in MS-13 opened the floodgates of the left's stupidity.
Inga: "Don’t be fact averse Drago, or does it upset your delicate tummy?"
That is precisely where we all knew you would go.
Your time would be better spent reading "The Looming Tower".

Uh oh.
It appears Inga attempted to post something on her own without just cutting and pasting.

Michael, if I were the type whose feelings are easily hurt, as you are, I wouldn’t be a regular commenter here, lol.

One reason they matter is that they knew things about power and politics. Else you would never have heard of them.

Yeah, the Russians and Chinese aren't very happy with us.
And Trump does seem to be throwing a monkey wrench into European dreams of unfettered business and support of the mad mullahs of Iran and the acceleration of the islamization of Europe.
Lefties don't like that.
Lefties didn't like Reagan matching Soviet intermediate missile deployments in Europe either.
Remember that.
Once again, every single complaint about Trump was lodged against every single other republican every single time.
You guys really need to get some new material. Perhaps change the hammer and sickle logos while you are at it as well.
What's funny about all this is that despite the years of comments and mentions, Inga never even bothered to look up Sayyid Qutb, why he mattered, and how that led to Al Qaeda and how that led to the Muslim Brotherhood taking over Egypt and how obama supported them.
And then how al Sisi knocked them out and is trying to protect Christians.
Years of available time to avail herself of easily obtained knowledge.
But for Inga, cuttin' and pastin' is simply so much easier....

Let me help you out here, Inga. "Jinping" is Xi Jinping's given name, not his family name.
Please memorize his family name by saying it again and again. FYI, Xi is pronounced "eleven".
Only a pussy would worry about our "global esteem".
the skorzeny link is relatively new, he was operating out of madrid and argentina, at the time, he was the hassle character in battle of the bulge, one had always chalked the unraveling of that ring, to wolfgang lotz, but he had a team of insiders,
“And then how al Sisi knocked them out and is trying to protect Christians.”
“Egypt’s Coptic Christians have accused the government of failing to protect them in the wake of an attack claimed by Islamic State on a bus convoy that killed at least 29 people and injured about 20 more.
Relatives of some of those killed said the attack, which occurred after a group of gunmen stopped a convoy headed for the Saint Samuel monastery close to the southern Egyptian town of Minya, undermines the state of emergency in Egypt declared after a previous attack in April.
Videos of the attack began to surfaced on social media networks on Sunday, two days after 29 were killed in the attack on a desert road south of the capital. Isis claimed responsibility for the attack on Friday. It was the fourth attack against Christians in Egypt since December to be claimed by the IS. The string of attacks have killed more than 100 and injured scores.”
back when adam entous, wasn't such a hack, he and his journal partner Siobhan Gorman, revealed that one of the players in the Benghazi raid was abu jamal, who had been released by morsi in 2011,
“It’s all talk and no action,” said Adel, criticising the Egyptian government’s response to the growing number of attacks on Christians. “Even this state of emergency: they announced it to calm public opinion, but it’s not really helping. Even the priests, bishops and parliament members don’t have the same respect from people any more – now no one takes their ‘soothing’ words seriously. We’re fed up. Plus, the government isn’t doing anything extra, in fact it’s worse than it used to be in terms of how the police treat people.”
Coptic Christians in Egypt have long pointed to institutional prejudices against them because of their religion, notably in the courts, which they say fail to prosecute those who commit acts of violence against Christians. Eshhad, a project by the Cairo-based Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy which tracks persecution of Egypt’s Copts, found 36 examples of persecution in 2017 alone, including beheadings, targeted violence and the Minya bus attack.“

ARM loved it when we had the esteem of the world's Aristocrats. When we bowed, apologized, and shipped pallets of cash to autocrats and countries with backwards tribal cultures.
ARM wants the US to go back to tribal politics too.
Makes sense.
An old fashioned Binary system where the central power takes all of the money, gets wealthy, and doles out crumbs to supporting tribes is the core of leftist ideology.
Most Americans are better than that. We believe in a society based on the empowerment and the virtue of the individual citizen.
A free society.
ARM naturally sides with tyrants and aristocrats against the USA.
Well, running around snapping at everyone and foaming at the mouth like a rabid Chihuahua is not recommended if you want a successful summit with Donald Trump. Having tried that gambit and gotten a Dear Jong letter, evidently Kim's going for Plan B.
In order to get Inga to decry the killing of Christians all you need to do is make it so she thinks it will help her get more power over other people.
It is clear Inga doesn't give a shit about Copts or Christians overseas in general.
36 examples of persecution in 2017 was nothing to the open genocide that was occurring under the Muslim Brotherhood and during the Obama years.
Inga is just an awful person.
As a sign of low global esteem, it seems that M. Macron and Mr. Putin (yes, that one), currently meeting at a conference in St. Petersberg, are putting out a joint statement complaining of Trumps policies in re Iran and trade.
Which raises interesting questions about, say, the point of Muellers investigations, no?
The US political system and especially the MSM are so, so transparently corrupt.

Russia isn’t the point of Mueller’s investigation. It’s the excuse.

The family of Mikhail Farahat Saad received notice from the army on April 22 that their son had died in a military camp in North Sinai Governorate, near El Arish, reported Al Karma TV. He was 22.
Saad was the latest of several Christian soldiers to die in military camp, with the army citing “suicide” as the cause of death in most cases.

This has always been the same old fight. The global aristocracy has built a powerful apparatus in the US government.

This is a tribal war. Corruption is just a tool used by the aristocracy in a well established spoils system.
Poor Inga.
Her beloved Muslim Brotherhood will never be allowed to return to power while Trump is in office.
And I seriously doubt Trump will allow her and her pals to bring them over here.
Just another reason for the world to hate Trump!
LOL
now who's the mark, well Europe in dependent on Iranian oil,
I make the parallels with iran, because of what I read about fall of heaven, about the shah's regime, it was indeed possible to prevent the power vacuum that befell iran, where the ayatollah filled it, perhaps shapour baktiar, could have served as a bridge, instead being murdered by david belfield in paris, the same fellow levinson was looking for on kharg island when he disappeared,
without Khomeini's rise, the likes of Mustafa chamran, might not have been able to carve Hezbollah from the amal militia, mugniyeh would still have been around causing trouble for Arafat's force 17, it was the fall of the shah, that provoked the grand mosque siege, which awoke the Wahhabi genie,
Anyway, Kim running down to talk to Moon so quick indicates that big things have gone down. This meeting seems to be an almost routine now, no run-up, no pomp, no great accomodations to NK vanity. They came to talk in order to talk, not make political/PR points.
This is vastly different from anything before. Previous NK pooh-bahs would not even meet SK politicians save as supplicants, as Kim Dae-Jung essentially did when Kim Jong Il made him come to Pyongyang. And a lot of good that did.
Inga thinks that because al Sisi cannot stop all crimes against Christians in Egypt that the Muslim Brotherhood/Al Qaeda should be given Egypt.
LOL
Not. Gonna. Happen. Inga.
Though I'm sure the MB appreciates your diligent efforts on their behalf. The only downside? Every moment spent supporting the Muslim Brotherhood/Al Qaeda/ISIS means one less moment available to support MS13 and/or Hamas.
Decisions, decisions....
Also rumor out there of an emergency train trip by Kim to Beijing, again, not a public thing. Thats the third time this year.
Poor Drago, his hero al-Sisi isn’t living up to his expectations. Maybe the other dictators that Trump praises, do a better job in Drago’s estimation.
buwaya: "This is vastly different from anything before. Previous NK pooh-bahs would not even meet SK politicians save as supplicants, as Kim Dae-Jung essentially did when Kim Jong Il made him come to Pyongyang. And a lot of good that did."
There was a Bushie establishment foreign policy type on TV just today who had to grudgingly admit that Trump has completely altered 70 years of frozen foreign policy positioning on all sides and has moved us to a place not thought possible just 12 months ago.
Maximum pressure, full use of all American leverage advantages, altering relationships on a one on one basis, breaking down barriers, etc. All credit to Trump.
Because....it's true.
I wonder how far away we are from the inevitable 437th narrative switch by the dems/left/LLR's where they will have to say Trump was unconsciously successful and it was only the "Inception" tactics of obama that resulted in success?
LOL
The mendacity of the left is pretty open when we support the MB in overthrowing a long term ally, Mubarak, and replacing him with the MB.
Egypt has not had a functional government since the last Pharaoh.
It was an Ottoman Caliphate, until the French came in 1798.
Forget it Inga.
al Sisi is not letting your MB pals back into power.
Stick with supporting the Iranian Mullahs. They have a better chance of surviving and attacking Israel than your other options.
The fact that the meeting took place at all is extraordinary in light of the last 70 years. If you can’t see how Trump’s hardline stance made it possible, then you’re so cripplingly ignorant that it would be impossible to take you seriously.
KJU must be feeling some serious internal pressure as well, or this wouldn’t be happening regardless. Something that can’t be addressed with gulags and executions. It would be fascinating to know the exact nature of that pressure.
How many train stations/parks/squares/housing areas have been named after obama in Israel, one wonders aloud.....
LOL
The fall of the Shah was a great disaster.
The fallout of that killed millions, in the Iran-Iraq war and dozens if other countries too, and greatly harmed the global economy.
In Iran, well, it stultified what should have been a creative and dynamic nation.

I think JFK allowing his staff to plan the removal of Thieu as as eventful as Carter also turning against our ally the Shah to hand Iran to the Ayatollah Khomeini.
The dems: supporting radical islamic takeovers since the 1970's.
So take heart Inga, you find yourself in good lefty company in that regard....not that you knew that of course. History is icky...
LOL
“... al Sisi is doing just fine.”
For a dictator. That’s how far you folks have fallen.
and the british 'called' the loan in 1882, that had been issued in the time of Gladstone and stated nearly 75 years, Mahfouz's palace series covers the middle interregnum, another fellow al aswani, a dentist with some literary skill but islamist sympathies covered the latter days in his autoclub, it was a let down from his Yacoubian building debut,
In Iran, well, it stultified what should have been a creative and dynamic nation.
The abandonment of the Shah was a worse action than the abandonment of Vietnam by the Democrats.
Is there an ally they have not abandoned since 1953? Truman was the last patriotic Democrat although Kennedy put up a good front while he filled his administration with leftists and technocrats like McNamara.
Vietnam might not have been salvageable and certainly wasn't after Kennedy and Lodge had Diem killed but the Shah was more important because of oil.

Ah yes. Who can forget the lefties standing up to cheer on Chavez in the UN attacking GWBush?

The lefties love that. A Daniel Ortega on steroids!
Of course, Venezuela is precisely where we knew they would end up...and the Inga's suddenly have not very much at all to say about that latest Lefty People's Paradise.
But then again, mass starvation due to standard run-of-the-mill lefty policies is great for weight control...and population control.......

Anyway, Kim running down to talk to Moon so quick indicates that big things have gone down. This meeting seems to be an almost routine now, no run-up, no pomp, no great accomodations to NK vanity. They came to talk in order to talk, not make political/PR points.
and
Also rumor out there of an emergency train trip by Kim to Beijing, again, not a public thing. Thats the third time this year.
Exactly.
This deal has already been made. Trump and Xi have already made it.
They are deep into logistics right now.
Trump wont sit with Fat Boy until the deal is done in ink. Trump will not sit at a "negotiation" and come out empty handed.
China and NK are trying to get this done before Trump hammers the Chinese banks floating NK, radiation from the nuclear volcano starts floating into populated areas, and NK collapses.
Trump is doing this with a masterful hand.

Lefty takes time out from praising NK leader, supporting mad mullahs, giving uranium to Putin, praising maduro, celebrating Castro to complain of others supporting dictators.
Discuss.
Regarding al-Sisi...
“A long-time general in the country's military, he rose to power in a bloody coup. Some 800 protesters were killed in a single day ... Public criticism of the government is squashed ... Anti-government protests are banned ... Scores of people have been arrested ... Privacy rights are routinely violated ... Some independent human-rights organizations have been banned; NGO workers could face up to 25 years in prison if they are believed to be working against Egypt's national interest ... Charges were brought against the country's top anti-corruption official ... Forced disappearances ... Detainees tortured ... Thousands of trials with flimsy evidence ... Overcrowding in prisons that have seen forced feedings and isolation ... Freedom of speech is repressed — the head of the Press Syndicate was charged with "publishing false news, which threatens public peace." ...”

"Has anyone gone back to whatever thread was going the night of the debate where Romney warned about the Russians, and Obama laughed it off with his "The 80's called" line?”
"We’d have to figure out what name she was going by back then."
My memory is that she went by "Inga" at that time, too. The main thing I remember was the hilarious story she told about how she wasn't sure if she was going to vote for Obama. If she made a remark about the "1980s called and want their foreign policy back" riposte, I surely don't remember it. In any case, the debate in which it occurred was the last one between the candidates about two weeks before the election.
“Lefty takes time out from praising NK leader...”
“He’s a very honorable person.”
Donald Trump
Could you imagine how much oil and cash Clinton or Obama would have shipped to NK by now?
At US taxpayer expense.
And how much "esteem" we would have from the global aristocracy?
Trump is actually fighting for OUR interests. Americans.
This is why leftists hate him.
it was a dubious proposition, harriman was listening to Holbrooke who in turn paid attention to halberstam, who followed that viet minh mole in the press office, but the cables moyar turned up in triumph, show Ellsberg account wasn't complete by any means, a dossier of sorts,
Achilles: "This deal has already been made. Trump and Xi have already made it. They are deep into logistics right now."
That does seem to be what is happening.
All that is left is to establish, precisely, the China/US bilateral trade details and limits, currency manipulation penalties/rules, rules for NAFTA abuse by China, etc.
The "small" (relative to the entire framework agreement) ZTE deal is part of this overall framework with new rules applied to ZTE which helps both nations assuming the total deal is agreed to....otherwise ZTE's good deal goes down the crapper.
It's fun to watch and listen to Wilber Ross and the other members of the trade delegations and then overlay their comments with what our military is doing in the Asia sphere.
Amazing full-court press to witness.
It just kills Inga that Trump is going to get this done along with revamped global trade deals reconfigured to America's advantage.

The democratic world leaders are feverishly trying to salvage their business deals with the Mad Mullahs!
Too funny.
How do we know this? The EU members explicitly said so!
Inga can't even be bothered to read up on what her purported allies are saying publicly.
Amazing.
Paying attention to every little detail, every zig and every zag of a diplomatic mating dance is a fool's errand.
But that's how the Left rolls. They are orgasmically waiting for an eventual Trump face plant. Salivating, I'd say.
Gahrie said...
"The trick is to find a way for North Korea to want the deal more than we do. The ultimate success will depend a lot on the cooperation, or at least the acquiescence of China."
Exactly. Un was acting as if he didn't even want an agreement for the last 2 weeks, and Trump finally decided to demonstrate that an agreement wasn't really all that important to the US either if that is the way Un was going to behave at the summit. Cancelling the meeting was a necessary step in this negotiation.
China would like to have an agreement- there is literally no benefit to the Chinese to having North Korea armed with nuclear weapons. So I would put the emphasis on "cooperation".
Again, I don't know that there is a deal to be made here, but to make the best effort requires that a strong negotiating position be established before a summit takes place. Trump's gambit seems to be paying off....."unexpectedly".
I have an Egyptian daughter. She's no great fan of Sisi, but she knows the brotherhood's true colors. During their brief ascendance, she told me that in Aswan, their partisans painted the arabic equivalent of "C" on the doors of christians.
Inga, that NPR quote is ignorant twaddle.
On the contrary, Egypt has always had a functional government. Its the most continuously and consistently governed place on earth, dating back to the pharaohs.
The people running the government, at the too, have changed, but not under that. Egypt has had little open anarchy, and never widespread, no depopulations, no barbarian hordes rampaging through, little of populist jaqueries, none of that. Political-religious-ethnic murder on a retail basis, sure. Conquest, battles on its soil, sure. But through all that time the same landowners collected their rents from the same peasants, who were also reliably oppressed by the same tax collectors.
Its never been a nice government, never very honest, or fair, or terribly competent by the best prevailing foreign standards. But its been consistent. Its been there, and unavoidable, for 4000 years.
All of which is a very curious fact.
CWJ: "she told me that in Aswan, their partisans painted the arabic equivalent of "C" on the doors of christians."
Identifying Christians for the purposes of murdering them?
Careful now, you'll likely get the lefties hearts beating all pitter-pattery...
CWJ: "Inga, that NPR quote is ignorant twaddle."
Lefty: But, but it can't be. It's made up of pixels and everything! And it comes from a very reliable source, NPR.....
LOL
It also kills the left that Manufacturing jobs are coming back to the US.
They hate the middle class and manufacturing and the decline thereof has been crushing middle class earning for decades.
Now Trump and his policies are rebuilding the middle class after decades of abuse by the global aristocracy.
Trump is going to get far more votes in 2020 than he did in 2016.
Menendez is only up 4 in the New Jersey senate race with huge numbers of undecideds. That is even money at best for an incumbent.
Blue Wave.
“I have an Egyptian daughter. She's no great fan of Sisi, but she knows the brotherhood's true colors. During their brief ascendance, she told me that in Aswan, their partisans painted the arabic equivalent of "C" on the doors of christians.”
I don’t doubt it. No one is supporting the Muslim Brotherhood here, despite Drago’s lies.
Meanwhile, Trump issues executive order targeting Venezuela 5 days ago....
And Trump hits the commies right in their guts:
"The executive action prohibits “the purchase of any debt owed to the Government of Venezuela” and any debt owed to the country that is pledged as collateral.
t also prevents the government of Venezuela from liquidating assets it has a majority ownership of.
“Today’s executive order closes another avenue for corruption that we have observed being used,” a senior administration official told reporters on Monday."
And then, as if by some "miracle" (which is exactly what the family calls it), Venezuela releases an American hostage!!
"We are grateful to all who participated in this miracle,” Holt’s family said in a statement."
Now lets all sit back and see how Inga and ARM and LLR Chuck spin this as an obama success story......

Moon seems to be the on who is doing the heavy lifting here in a largely egoless way, which is appropriate given that his country would greatly benefit from reduced tension. Not sure if his end game is the removal of US troops from Korea, but it could be.
This is beyond naive. Trump has floated the idea of the USA leaving the DMZ a couple times and Moon has always responded by shitting bricks.
Is anyone else concerned about Etienne? I don't think he has had a drink in weeks. Someone needs to do an intervention.
Gal Gadot is going to make a movie praising a groupie of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara.

Sonething like "Motorcycle Diaries". It was on the Oscar lists.
so I am told, so if there had been a transition, or Khomeini had been suppressed by the summer of 78, there might not have been an iran Iraq war, Lebanon might not have disintegrated so brutally, consequently saddam might not have had to extort Kuwait no gulf war, no angry ubl fatwa against the kingdom,

No.
The trick was to make China want the deal more than we do.
North Korea is ancillary.
It is was because when that mountain collapsed on the Hydrogen Bomb test it changed the whole equation. North Korea is now a failed state with a failed nuke program that will take billions to restart and a nuclear volcano on China's border.
Most likely they have years before they can get a hydrogen bomb they can fit on a missile unless China just openly ships them one. China wont go that far. That makes it so the only countries NK can nuke are South Korea and China.
Not so useful.
China wants South Korea in one piece. During the reunification China correctly believes they will be able to push South Korea to their side.
As a side beneift South Korea rebuilds North Korea and pays for China's skulduggery in North Korea.
China still plays the long game.
sigh, she doesn't even look like lisa howard, she might have passed for june cobb though,
This one is for Inga, since she brought up Turkey:
"Erdogan was upheld by both the Bush and Obama administrations as a paragon of a moderate Muslim leader. To secure U.S. support, Erdogan was perfectly happy to let them believe that. But while he was basking in the support of the likes of Condoleezza Rice and Barack Obama,(who referred to Erdogan as one of five foreign leaders with whom he had formed “bonds of trust”), Erdogan repeatedly rejected the notion that there is such a thing as moderate Islam."
http://carolineglick.com/endgame-for-the-u-s-turkey-relationship/
BTW, that entire article is quite interesting.
“And no one is supporting MS13, or Hamas, or KJU.....”
That’s right Drago. I’m glad you are seeing the light. You people have a real nasty problem of taking things to extremes.
from this thread, I developed an image in my mind that I cannot get rid of. Here it is:
An older woman with a big fat ass pulls down her pants and begs people to spank her. The more she gets spanked, the more she eggs them on.
It's pretty gross. I wonder where that image came from.
"Spark of divinity" MS13.

Moon knows that Reunification + US troops off the peninsula means Korea is a Chinese vassal state in the long run.
Inga and ARM are tied to their belief that the US is uniquely evil and everyone in the world hates us.
This is the belief the globalists engender in their tools.
South Koreans are much closer to the truth of the matter. People who are closer to losing their freedom generally seem to value it more.
The problem for Inga is that the entire nation is witness to the leftists antics (some liberals are becoming quite concerned too, as they should, because they are being lumped in with the Inga's) and when the moderates and independents continue to hear the Inga's say they are not doing the very things everybody sees them doing, well, I would humbly suggest the polls are reflecting the concern.
Not a moment too soon I'd say.
I can’t shake the image of Francisco already drunk on a lovely day like today and it’s barely past noon.
Francisco will be sure to scurry off like the coward he is as soon as Ritmo shows up, lol, like last evening.
buwaya to ARM:
"Its not "nobody" ARM.
Its a particular class that does the hating."
No evidence for this. Anti-Americanism can be quite broad based or it can be restricted to particular groups. It changes with who controls US politics.
Lol. In other words, what buwaya just said. So you do see the evidence.
But to spell it out for anyone who doesn't see what's risible about your response:
"We are at a low point now in global esteem after an earlier high point."
The "broad-based" anti-Americanism tends to correlate pretty strongly with the line "particular groups" happen to be taking. If Americans are bombing the hell out of your country, certainly you will take an anti-American line without any prompting from your PTB's palace scribes. But if you have "high esteem" for America when Clinton/Obama is bombing the hell out of some other guys, and "low esteem" when the same is done by Bush/Trump, then it's a good bet you're a mark for the propaganda of that "particular class".
For the most part, anti-Americanism that rises or falls based on who's in office is pretty much the product (and I mean "product" in its clear commercial sense) of an incestuous group of lackeys (media, academic, gov) of a "particular group" looking after its own interests.
Europe and Asia, just like America, are full of dingbats who have a touching faith in the "prestige" press.

Inga said...
I know you’re old but have you forgotten that when you use quotation marks it means you’re quoting someone? Where did I say he was an “Anti-American monster”? Sisi is an authoritarian, the type Trump seems to like.
“Sisi, who seized power in a coup, has cracked down in Egypt, where a brief flirtation with democracy during the Arab Spring resulted in a Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government (which Sisi ousted). The U.S. State Department says the most serious human-rights problems there involve “excessive use of force by security forces, deficiencies in due process, and the suppression of civil liberties.” Human Rights Watch says Sisi’s government “maintained its zero-tolerance policy towards dissent… and [continued] near-absolute impunity for abuses by security forces under the pretext of fighting"
Sisi did what he had to do to defeat the barbarians and he did it despite the efforts of Obama and the globalist left.
I can't shake the image of the arab loonies who take their children to the barricades to get them killed so lefty western media people can pretend its all Israels fault.

Yes, the fall of the Shah kicked off all sorts of troubles.
Add to them the coup against the government of Afghanistan in 1978.
Which started an Afghan civil war, the Soviet invasion, and in consequence the fundamentalist regime of Zia ul Haq in Pakistan, and therefore ISI inviting in weird Arabs like Bin Laden, etc.
Consequences upon consequences.

Guess.
It's too bad Hitler couldn't have come up with a way to falsely accuse Hindenburg of colluding with the Russians.
Some tactics take time to develop.
Perhaps in Inga "New History Which Began 10 Minutes Ago", Hitler WAS democratically elected.

What was the last book Inga read, do you think?
Once again, in Inga's defense, only the students in AP History learned about the 1932 German Federal election results.
“Hitler lost the election. He was appointed Chancellor by Hindenburg.”
“On this day in 1934, Adolf Hitler, already chancellor, is also elected president of Germany in an unprecedented consolidation of power in the short history of the republic.
In 1932, German President Paul von Hindenburg, old, tired, and a bit senile, had won re-election as president, but had lost a considerable portion of his right/conservative support to the Nazi Party. Those close to the president wanted a cozier relationship to Hitler and the Nazis. Hindenburg had contempt for the Nazis’ lawlessness, but ultimately agreed to oust his chancellor, Heinrich Bruning, for Franz von Papen, who was willing to appease the Nazis by lifting the ban on Hitler’s Brown Shirts and unilaterally canceling Germany’s reparation payments, imposed by the Treaty of Versailles at the close of World War I.”
https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/adolf-hitler-becomes-president-of-germany
OM: "What was the last book Inga read, do you think?"
I'm going to guess "How Hitler Was Democratically Elected" by Noam Chomsky.
Re Sisi, you have a choice.
Its the likes of him or the likes of Morsi. That is, something, or nothing, something much worse.
In the case of, say, Erdogan, it was the likes of him or some military junta.
In Duterte - he really does represent his people. He has enthusiastic popular support. There is literally no alternative. When he dies, or disgraces himself, there will be, but until then, deal. Something, or nothing.
The reality of the world is that in international affairs it is mainly a series of Hobsons choices.
Which was the terrible error of the Carter administration in re the Shah. They had a Hobsons choice. The intellectual traitor-class in the US of course was anti-Shah, because they expected, like their Soviet masters, that the winners would be the leftist student radicals so prominent on the streets. Or that it was a sort of February revolution, to be followed by October of course. Idiots.
Inga thinks she can "link" her way out of it.
Sorry Inga, by 1934 our little Chancellor had already become the little dictator.
Inga thinks Castro and Maduro and Xi and Kim Jong Un were "democratically elected" too.
LOL
Wow.
Just keep digging. It's fantastic.
Inga said...
“The left has never left off about how the Muslim Brotherhood was "democratically" elected.”
Hitler was democratically elected too. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t a dictator.
The people who voted for Hitler were leftists.
He "won" his election running as the leader of the National Socialist party.
Every single time it is the left.
“Weimar Germany had a parliamentary Reichstag, based on a quota system. The focus, like all parliamentary systems, is on the party, not the individual and parliamentary systems have multiple parties. They do not just have two as in the US, so having 50% of the vote or more is irrelevant, all that matters is that you have the largest minority and if that minority is insufficient for a clear majority as defined in their constitution, you simply form a coalition government.
Hitler becoming Chancelor in 1933 resulted from the democratically elected seats that his party held. As head of the party, Hitler could either be directly elected to a position, like the one he lost to Hindenburg, or he could gain the Chancellorship by his party having a clear majority in the Reichstag and get appointed by the President, OR HE COULD become Chancellor without a clear majority via a coalition government… It is the last option that saw Hitler rise to power and the “back room deals” many Americans lament as having got him there, were simply a normal part of forming a coalition government in a democratic parliamentary system. Hitler’s party was elected, it formed a legitimately democratic coalition government with a condition of that coalition being Hitler’s appointment to the chancellery… Which was just the German title (although much weaker position) of Prime Minister. So yes, Hitler was elected via his role as party leader within a democratic institution.
