I really hate to say this, but if North Korea is serious about making peace, then Trump has to be given credit.
Who would have thought that bullying and name-calling works?

(24,736 posts)We know Putin and Un are friendly and in cahoots. This is a STRIKING turnaround for NK. It would be advantageous to them both to support trump to pull this off.
Trust but verify. Or, don't trust...
This is out of character for Un.

(2,453 posts)From the beginning, the back and forth was too over the top to be believable.... I don't think anyone truly believed N Korea was a real threat.
The source of N Korea's turnaround lies in what recent deals they've received through Russia, China or the US.
Trump has been very quick to claim victory.... Smells fishy..
I could give Trump credit once all possibilities of fishiness proven ruled out.
