Why no discussion of NK horrendous human rights violations?

[SHRED]

The media and Dump seem to be ignoring the fact that Kim is a murderer with political death camps.

1. What should US policy with respect to North Korea be at this point?

[MineralMan]

12. Why ask the poster? Why don't you tell us what you think it should be?

You could even start a new OP to share your vision. I'll watch for it.

This poster asked a question, and it's a good one. He wasn't offering a solution. Do you have an answer for him?

ETA: I already started a new thread, using your question as the title, since you didn't. Now, there's a good place for that discussion.

2. trump couldn't care less about the NK people... as long as he looks good

don't forget that trump called kim an honorable man.....

[democratisphere]

5. drumpf also doesn't care about the American people as long as he "looks good"

to his idiotic base.

[TreasonousBastard]

3. It's been mentioned quite often in the "media", and it's no secret, but...

unfortunately, that's not the point of these talks.

[lapfog_1]

4. Drump doesn't care... and is, in fact, jealous of the dictators of the world

the press... willing co-conspirators at times to the creeping fascism now taking over the US.

6. And he starves his people while the chosen few live the life of luxury.

It also pays to develop into a attractive women, well at least you might have a chance of being chosen. A lot of men are condition to join the military. Something t-rump must envy.

[Doreen]

7. Uhmm, probably because trump wants to do the

same to the citizens of this country and if he put NK down for it he would be putting himself down. You do see him working for this right? I do.

[DFW]

8. I haven't yet heard anyone say any of that wasn't true.

Like Rula Ghani said, "You don't make peace with your friends. You make peace with your enemies."

Not that I have the slightest faith in Trump having slightest notion of who he is dealing with. But the principle is the same. The USA doesn't need to hold tentative peace negotiations with Portugal.

[B2G]

9. Because everyone is too busy cheering for him

because they hate Trump.

[Alea]

14. nailed it

[OldHippieChick]

10. It does not fit the narrative Cheeto wants us

to believe. We are to believe they are both honorable men and doing what is in the best interests of their people. Making peace w/ an evil dictator does not look good next to the "Nobel" headline.

[MineralMan]

11. Mmm...OK...Yeah...see...that's, like, inconvenient right now.

[TimeSnowDemos]

13. Umm

A few reasons

- they're trying to avoid a war, not start one
- people in glass houses
- everyone knows and so what's the point?

[Alea]

15. The liberal media is the only one ignoring it

Trumps been calling him an evil dictator that kills his own people since day one, but they hate trump so bad they put lil kim on a pedestal. People here do it too. F trump, but thats the way it is.

[Demovictory9]

16. I know. No mention that he kills political enemies by aircraft gun and other horrible methods

[lunatica]

17. Hopefully that will be corrected soon

But there are people still doing it.

I think it’s a true dilemma right now. Do we want to completely shun Kim Jong-un and have him continue to violate human rights, which he clearly has anyway, or do we have relations with him so he doesn’t have an excuse to use nukes on a country, maybe even ours.

Either way it looks like he wins somehow. Either choice brings no victory on the face of it.

[malaise]

18. Then the rest of the planet should have nothing to do with the US Government

after the most recent war crimes in Iraq.

Just saying!

[PoliticAverse]

19. Unhappy that Trump hasn't derailed the peace overtures between the South and the North yet?

Don't worry, John Bolton may give you what you want still.
