Need more than a single photo op to qualify for the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump somehow thinks that’s all which is required. Whilst trump instigated all the bellicose verbiage about war, and Kim showed off his technology, I will give trump credit for de-escalating that which he escalated.
this is the essence of trump. create a crisis which only he can fix.
If anyone is actually driving towards peace, it is S Korean President Moon.
My S Korean friends in S Korea thinks President Moon has big brass ones. No sooner than he touches down back in S Korea, after his big meeting with Trump in Washington, to learn that trump called off the summit. President Moon called Kim, then drove to the border, crossed over and had an impromptu meet with Kim to get shit back on track.
Name me a country that’s going to nuke Russia without massive provocation.
Russians are already suffering economically; it’s the West that has the farthest to fall. Putin’s subjects are already getting by, but Putin’s regime is rich. Putin survives by convincing Russians that the outside world is out to screw Russia and that he’s defending their “Russian-hood”
Good luck with that… I note your recent warnings due to lack of restraint. Not that I blame you, I agree (mostly) with the sentiments you expressed, though expressing them as you did, in the forums you did, did show that they had managed to troll you into a state of forgetting your better angels.
It is hard to show restraint when your opponent doesn’t. It is hard to fight fair when your opponent doesn’t.
A fair fight is a fight we can lose. They aren’t looking for a fair fight, we shouldn’t be expecting one, nor expecting to win one.
The Trump Rip-Children-From-Their-Mother’s-Arms Policy was the brainchild of Stephen Miller and implemented by Jeff Sessions. But everybody hates it. It’s universally condemned by everyone who doesn’t owe their job to Trump (silence from Congressional Republicans, of course).
So how does Trump defend his policy? By stating that he hates it too, but blames it on the Democrats.
This is just to confirm what we already know: not only is he an evil, lying bastard, but he’s a gutless coward, too.
If there’s, say, two, I’m sure the walking 4-chan of a president* will want both. Or maybe Stephen “gaslight by high school janitors” Miller might vie for one or two of 'em.
Actually a Sam Bee appellation, to give credit where it’s due.
It’s not unfair though to say that he got it mostly for intentions, and wouldn’t have been awarded it if not for the contrast with Bush-era US politics.
