3. Unfuckingbelievable

He doesn't even try to hide it any more.

[UTUSN]

4. K&R

[pecosbob]

5. Truth is it kind of makes sense for the Russians and the Chinese to be involved

[triron]

6. Especially since Trump takes his orders from the Kremlin.

[pecosbob]

8. There is that...

just sayin'...any real attempt at denuclearization will involve multiple parties, not just photo-ops for a dictator and a wannabe dictator.

[louis c]

16. Do you think Russia and China want to denuclearize North Korea?

They're playing Trump for a fool and anyone who falls for this nonsense is a bigger fool than he is.

[lostnfound]

7. To celebrate? Brennan stated today, US in South Korea is for global position wrt China and Russia

Our presence in South Korea isn’t just for sake of conflict with North Korea but for rapid response with respect to China and Russia.
Trump has handed over US power on a silver platter.

10. That's what "multilateral" talks are for.

This is supposed to be "bilateral" but I guess "somebody" needs his daddy there in the background telling him what to do.

[pecosbob]

11. That's what I meant to convey with my poorly worded response...

[triron]

14. So how is that different from "Trump is taking his orders from the Kremlin"?

[louis c]

19. I agree with you...

...your response was poorly worded

[HipChick]

9. No pushback from Smokeye's

[gratuitous]

12. Trump gave him a private tour of the Oval Office

Maybe Sergey wants to stroll through Air Force One?

The New York Times was a bit perturbed about the Oval Office meeting with Lavrov and Kislyak:

Sort of makes you wonder about this pattern of conduct by President Trump?

[Texin]

20. He was just there to check that the "communication" devices were in place and working.

[sandensea]

21. +1

"May we see the communications center, Donaldski? I've always loved electronics, you know."

[Texin]

22. Good lord. Who has to "wonder" at this point? He's there to get his orders from Putin.

[Leghorn21]

28. MF45 loves him some Lavrov, that's just a FACT

[Docreed2003]

13. Hey be nice...

Trump needs his "advisers" on this trip.

[kacekwl]

15. Really can't be any clearer

can it.

[SunSeeker]

17. K & R for exposure.

[Panich52]

18. So Trump can get Putin's orders on what to offer Kim without having to call.

[RT Atlanta]

23. Nance's quote on 'coincidences' is so appropriate....

"For an old spy and codebreaker like myself, nothing in the world happens by coincidence."

-Malcom Nance

[Mr. Sparkle]

24. He is going to ask Russia for asylum should things head south quickly.

[airmid]

26. I guess we all know who MF45's handler is now...

[marble falls]

27. You know what they say, April in Paris, but February is for Hanoi.

[Still In Wisconsin]

29. Hanoi is lovely in late February...maybe a little wet but warmer than Moscow!

Why wouldn't Lavrov be in Vietnam?

[world wide wally]

30. Maybe Lavrov will leak what is said

[triron]

32. Ironic but that's the only way we find out anything.

[Firestorm49]

31. I guess he's there to tell what's his face what to say. New set of orders.

[BobTheSubgenius]

33. A small eemantic error.

When he said `advice` he of course meant `permission.`

[Blue Owl]

34. What a delightful surprise!

35. Picking up a defector.
