If Trump does not get a commitment from Kim Jong Un...?

[kentuck]

He will threaten him with nuclear war?

I would not be surprised.

North Korea wants to go very slow. Trump wants to go very fast.

North Korea wants the PR shot with promises of meeting in the future for further talks. Trump wants an agreement of actual progress on nuclear weapons.

It may be that neither will get what they want?

But the story may be how each side reacts after the summit?

1. The Con is in Singapore for a nice birthday bash

He'll probably throw in some secret meetings with fellow autocrats and money men.
Like the vast majority of the planet, we have a football World Cup to watch so I'll ignore the circus con and clown this week.

3. What's this game you call football?

[malaise]

4. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

The one we play with our feet aka the most popular sport on the planet

9. I think you're right...I think Un will not show

And never intended to.Trump will claim victory by intimidation and he will finally get some free time to watch some porn and hook up with some hoolers and have some secret meetings with people to set up his ultimate escape plan.

12. I'm guessing many mattresses will be soiled!

2. We'll know the answer by the end of the first touchy-feely minute... right?

[malaise]

5. 'cause it's what I do

Can you believe that shit?

17. You can tell a lot about a man from his prostate

[Chemisse]

6. He might just refuse to play golf with him afterwards.

Either that or nuclear war.

[Cosmocat]

7. Nothing will really get done

He'll claim a great victory.

The right-wing media will scream how great of a victory it was, his base will swoon, the quote liberal media on quote will enable it, the soft metal will believe it.

[Shrike47]

11. This.

[kentuck]

16. That.

8. its all theater at this point, I wouldn't be surprise Trump is using a slush fund to bribe

Kim with...as it behooves trump to be show him "winning something"...and NK is dire economic conditions

[duforsure]

10. He's using this event only for PR

And like he's been doing all along, he'll feed his propaganda to the media to promote whatever he claims . Dim Dumb Donnie will claim he's saving the world , and more lies to promote himself , and will praise Kim , but really be doing the opposite regarding him. Kim better understand this means nothing to him other than a PR event for self promotion he's doing something. Kim has screwed up doing anything with this puppet of putins, he'll regret it like many others are already. The Media keep repeating his lies, and helping both he and putin . No matter what Kim agrees to , they are probably already into producing more weapons, just like others have done even with agreements in place. They won't be stopped by trump, but he'll claim they are, and he's a liar. Russia and China have NK's back if he tries anything against them. My fear is he's purposely stirring up everyone to create a war to use to protect himself with, and for profits, and for putin to hurt our economy more with.

14. He'll just say he got a commitment

Doesn't matter what Kim says or does; Trump will declare victory and skedaddle for home and a decent Big Mac. Trump's fanboiz will wet themselves in joy (or just because it's two in the afternoon like every other day), and the media will feel compelled to report Trump's "victory" because they don't know how to handle such a bald-faced liar.

15. Kim is already getting what he wanted - a face-to-face w/

a world leader other than China. Cheeto is giving him gravitas and he is strutting all over Singapore in celebration of his newfound status. He will ask for a relaxation of sanctions and will make it sound like he's giving Cheeto something in return. He's not and he won't. But Cheeto will take it and run and say he got promises he actually hasn't gotten. When the rest of the world reveals Cheeto has been fooled, he will call them more names and further isolate us from our allies.

[kentuck]

18. He'll give up his ICBMs...

...which he doesn't have.
