I didn't hear the speaker say they wanted anything out of this deal. Who has been supplying NK with the missles, etc. Orchestrated to make the con look better..............

I don't like this at all. I don't see a good outcome here. We need to keep Trump far away from every volatile situation in the world. He can only fuck it up.

I feel the same way too. Putin is of course up to something. tRump is being played here and our country is going to pay dearly.

By the way did anyone read the MSNBC crawl last night, Putin said something like our government is "unpredictable" and "it's eating itself" and also he felt the sanctions were "illegitimate and unfair" boo hoo cry me a river. Putin is definitely pulling strings here, he wants to see the country flushed down the toilet.

elections. We are speculating. But Putin certainly likes helping Trump and being a player on the world stage.

The timing certainly is not coincidental. Just when things are looking worse and worse for tRump now he's going to be made to look like some kind of hero by his ass kissing minions. It was already happening this afternoon on a radio program hosted by two tRump humpers who constantly state they don't love nor do they hate tRump but they were going gaga over this NK meeting. They bashed Hillary constantly during the election period and now they think they have been vindicated for their loyalty to tRump. They are effing idiots.
