Historic meeting between North & South Korea leaders kicks off


North Korean leader Kim Jong-un shakes hands with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, April 27, 2018

The much-awaited summit between Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in has begun in the "truce village" of Panmunjom. It is the first time the leaders of the two nations sat down for talks in over a decade.
The first inter-Korean summit since 2007, when Kim's late father Kim Il-sung met then-South Korean leader Roh Moo-hyun, is drawing all the eyes, coming ahead of the highly anticipated meeting between Kim and US President Donald Trump.

North Korea's nuclear program, whose rapid advancement triggered belligerent threats from the US President, ramping up tensions in the peninsula to the boiling point in late 2017, is expected to dominate the Friday meeting, which is taking place less than a week after Pyongyang announced a freeze of all nuclear and missile exercises and a closure of a major test site.

Historic indeed and very welcome.

So, who thinks that Donald is not a good mediator?



From ‘little rocket man’ to ‘very honorable’: Trump says he wants to meet Kim 'as soon as possible’

US President Donald Trump has praised North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and said he wants a meeting with him “as soon as possible.” Trump also called Kim “very honorable.”
“We have been told directly that they would like to have the meeting as soon as possible, and we think that’s a great thing for the world,” Trump told reporters during a meeting with French Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron at the White House.

“We’re having ... very good discussions. Kim Jong Un, he really has been very open and I think very honorable from everything we’re seeing.”

The comments mark a distinct change in rhetoric from Trump, who referred to Kim as “little rocket man” on Twitter last year.

I think Kim is slick, and is playing everyone. Based on nothing but my gut.

Any expert worth his salt will tell you that Kim's dream is to get his photo around the world with baldy orange cunto, and being taken seriously by the Americans, instead of being written off as another irrelevant, tinpot dictator.

I'd say his plan is going very well.

Or desperate. Their country is fucked and has to scam people to make money.

Wouldn't have happened under Obama or Bush, now the US actually have a president fat boy is worried about progress is being made in a quite dramatic way. All praise The Don. Of course his detractors here on TD will say that NK current attitude and willingness to negotiate is nothing to do with The Don.

It has more to do with the collapse of NK's nuclear test site below MT Mantap. Kim hasn't much left to negotiate with.

I suggest the words and actions by the countries on Northern and Western borders have been taken aboard, adapted to the DPRK requirements and will be amalgamated to it's Southern neighbours requirements.

The golden hasbeen and his vassals will be offered one choice, my way or the highway. The package will be publicised prior to the on/off again, depending on which twitch is the most acceptable to the twichers algos, drive through meeting. The golden hasbeen will want not to go down as the man who threw away such a chance, or his Nobel Prize will be on somebody else's mantelpiece.

I read the DPRK announcement that the DPRK will join, the global community in "working to rid the world of these evil weapons. As the "global community' has been calling for this for decades with no success, it doesn't bode well for a swift ending to global denuclearisation.

6 months ago!

Obviously not been to the site just analysing photos produced by ........... and bingo her's Johnny, with his bucket full of bullshit and spoons for all of you. Keep on swallowing hard, it goes down with practice, I'm told.

When Kim first came on the scene with his pudding basin haircut I thought him a fool, as did many others, but now I see he had a plan all along. First to build a deterrent against an aggressor who he has seen attacking other countries based on lies.

With that deterrent now in place to his satisfaction it is now time to forge a proper peace with the south.

Not to unify the peninsula under one government but to open up trade and cross border movement which will be popular in both north and south for there are many families that have been split by the demarcation zone and both have resources the other needs.

Should there be a proper peace treaty signed they will no longer be enemies and all the expensive military hardware the US has sold to the south will be redundant nor will there be a need for US bases in the south or the control that these exert over the south.

So the US has a problem for not only will they lose what control they have over both north and south, if the south wants to trade with the north they will have to rethink their sanctions. Are they willing to do this or will they attempt to make demands on the north in the hope they can prevent an ongoing peace process and trade?

Should the US make demands and even threats I suspect Kim will ignore them but is Moon in a position to do the same?

I has been commented that it has cost the north dearly to get to this stage but it has also cost the south as the country is now in considerable debt as are the people.

We await the results of the ongoing talks.

This meeting is about re-unification. All the respect for SK president who is surely under a strong pressure.

His very good start what he had done during their Olympics.

How helpful was the VP with his beatific face and with his Japanese vassal on hand to ease the situation?





Or helpful Ivanka?

Top photo, absalutley no communication, why bother?

Her body language suggests an attempt to recognise the existence and talk to the Korean lady. The Korean lady wisely decided not to say anything, just keep the illusion of acceptance rather than telling here what a tramps she and her family are.

I believe the play belongs to all parties involved.

Oh I'm pretty sure having an imbecile in the Whitehouse has everything to do with Kim's playbook.

I think the fat "Fuck" is sick and needs medical help. Looking for some good "Western" medicine and treatment.

What on earth are you babbling on about? Have you been drinking or taking drugs?

It's less of a growing economy than another bubble waiting to burst.

As to Kim reining in his aggressive behaviour and being nice to Korea, if it took an imbecile in the Whitehouse to convince him he'd get what he wants, then good luck. If you are under the delusional impression that the US is the only country that's applied sanctions against the DPRK in recent years, you need to educate yourself.

As for your other drivel, the only chance of Kim launching a nuke would have been if the imbecile had started it; being a dopey fucker and surrounding himself with warmongerers like Bolton and Pompeo makes the likelihood of further military incursions MORE likely, not less.
