The reason Drumpf is meeting with KIM is so that he will look like a peace maker.

[mfcorey1]

Then he hopes he can win the Nobel Peace Prize. That is his only strategy! He wants whatever Obama had.

1. The trouble is

He will never have what President Obama has/ had: Intelligence, integrity, class, and a family that adores him.

2. HIs strategy is distraction from Cohen testimony in congress at the same time as his mtg with Kim.

3. If NK really disarms Ill give Trump credit

but I expect it's just PR for both he and Kim.

6. I don't expect Trump to get anywhere on this.

But as a republican, he has opened a door that democrat is Presidents were bashed for even sneaking a look at. I hope the next democratic President can make real progress and maybe the Korean War can be officially ended and a peace treaty signed - republicans should not say a damned thing about that, they let an incompetent free to negotiate with a dictator who is much smarter than him.

For me, if Kim said that if him and his sister were each given $100 billion dollars and safe refuge in a country for life in return for giving up power and leaving North Korea, I would say go for that deal. While we would let a brutal murderer skate, we would save many times the lives down the road, not a perfect trade off, but few difficult problems are ended by perfect trade offs.

4. Nope. Putin wants him there. He's sent a messenger Lavrov to meet Trump

Trump is fully owned by Putin and the Russian mob. He doesn't do anything except what they tell him.

Nobody in that crowd gives a shit about the Nobel prize

7. +1

Probably Pooty's preference. I don't know why unless it has something to do with normalizing Kim so Pooty can sell him more weapons and oil without himself being further sanctioned.
