tom cotton makes a strong argument, any nukeless country should start development asap.

maybe we can just start a pre-emptive war with every non-nuclear country to prevent them from getting nukes.

I honestly didn't expect the summit to be this entertaining.

For a while, it was just KJU, Trump, and their interpreters in a room. No one outside of those four has a clue about what they said to each other.

i would think that any nukeless country already had plenty of incentive to get nukes.

I'm glad we opened a dialogue with NK. 

It's laughable that the great deal-making president gave up war games for absolutely nothing.  If dax was pissed at the Iran deal, I can't wait to see his outrage about a deal in which we received literally nothing in return.

to be fair, if we get "absolutely nothing" out of this, then i doubt we give up the exercises.

How dare you call into to question the likelihood their nevertrump fan fiction will come true.

Libya or Iraq is a way better example than N. Korea anyway.

pre-summit status quo?  i'm not sure i understand your question.

You thought it was better when Trump was calling KJU names and there was seemingly legit talk about a first strike by the US?

i did not think it was wise to insult and provoke kju.  i think it would have been better to stop doing that rather than stop doing that and also stage summit theatre.

Pence's press secretary is a strange source for nevertrump fan fic

north korea isn't going to denuclearize, but there's a chance trump can convince 'pubs they don't need to worry about north korea having nukes after all, which would be a significant accomplishment.

engaging with your strawmen is very nearly as tedious as engaging with wackycat's strawmen.

for a while, we tried to pull the wool over all their eyes with talk of incentivizing desirable behavior.  fortunately that sort of foolishness is in the past.

I was referring to Tom Cotton who already wants to start a 3-4 front war against our enemies. you seemed to endorse his logic.  I like that quote a lot better about not caring as much about a nuclear n korea?

tom cotton doesn't post here, which is where i must have gotten confused.

This article says Congressional Leftocrats are critical of Trump making peace; he gave up too much or didn't press on human  rights or was too respectful of Kim.
Duuuur stupid bastards.  He got the start of a deal to rid the world of nukes and take away the toys of a deminted fat boy.   I say if he had to kiss Kim's butt to get a deal that is okay.  Coolnothings Obama looked good, but did nothing but drive us closer to Nuclear war with NK.

Better yet, get them to cease all pursuit of WMD's, have them actively fighting entities like Al Qaeda and then go in and overthrow their government leaving the country in ruins.

Do you see us being more likely or less likely to be right back to that 6 months from now?

I get that I could be more clear, but you said that and then posted a big cotton quote. Sorry, I didn't remember the post from a month ago where you said something else.

i don't expect you to remember my previous posts.  i do expect that if the two of us are engaged in a conversation, your arguments will be directed at what you think i am saying or what you think i think.  if you want to address cotton's statement directly you could insert a little clarifier like "maybe cotton..."

I agree Libya was bad.

Your quote made me think you agreed with tom cotton. the context of cotton's world view was what I was referencing (which you seemed to endorse?!). But I didn't re-read the whole thread or print out your posts and put a cork board together so I guess I missed the subtle point you were making that was different (maybe?).

Your posting on here is now largely inscrutable for me, but you are constantly getting mad when no I can't figure out wtf you are talking about. A good combo, very enjoyable for me.

i would have thought it was obvious that my commentary above cotton's statement was ironic.

Why is it hard to understand that the concept of being "Libya'd" or "Iraq'd" or "Syria'd" by the United States and its partners is a very real thing? 

What does the most technologically advanced military in the world, with decades worth experience in war or preparation for war on the Korean Peninsula stand to gain by yet another drill during these times?

Nothing.
