TOPIC:

Like a few others on here, I can't understand why they are questioning him on human rights in NK, unless they are going to apply the same principle to a lot of the Arab World, China and Russia. Also, most of these people, were the same people whom had a go at Bush junior boy for invadding Iraq, and yet, seem to want Trump to knock over North Korea

If it goes you now whats up, as it could, he can re-impose the sanctions and go from there down the track.

HR talk was kept to a minimum, so it should be, lets gets base one sorted first.
The sanctions are still in place for now, but the US has agreed to suspend joint exercises with the South for now, being one year only at this stage.
Interesting to see the reaction of the folks in South Korea, most quite amazed at the meeting even taking place. Japan dont seem overly enthused due to short to medium range missles not being addressed.
Anyway looks like Kims off to Washington DC for more talks.
He would of been amazed at Singapore at the development there, Marina Bay Sands iin itself mind blowing, just hope he didnt buy a beer around the joint 20 bucks for a middy.

Now he has singlehandedly sorted out the whole Korean issue can he do us all a favour and pop over and sort out the Israel/Palestine matter.
Should be quite simple for someone with the dipolmatic aplomb he has applied in Singapore in the historic Korean Solution.Perhaps he could take Dennis Rodman as an envoy, perhaps he can have the same impression on Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas. He could lay the groundwork before Donald flies in to give them a throrough tongue lashing regarding their insipid efforts to achieve peace in the middle east. Maybe it is as simple as a very nice letter, it worked with the North Koreans.
If only Donald had been around during the crusades we could have been done with this pesky Jerusalem situation centuries ago.

And while Donald is at it hopefully he has time to drop over and sort out what the hell is going on down at East Fremantle.

Thats a complex tough ask mate, very few have been able to sort it, and Im not talking about peace in the middle east Im talking about Effc.

At least we have meaningful dialogue has now taken place between the 2. Instead of all the prevous silly statements of 'little rocket man' or the other 'my red button's bigger than his red button' etcetera.
Is good to see that the foot has been put in the door. Whatever is written in the agreement, hopefully it will bind. Everything sounds positive so far. I'd expect Trump didn't want to push too hard.
When the 2 next meet, I hope they both have a minutes silence in respect to the too many victims of NK' s terrible Human Rights Abuses which are a bit too graphic to discuss here.
Lets hope for more positive progress in the coming weeks / months.

This is hilarious, particularly for those avid watchers of Fox News (US style):

No doubt all the Looney left anti Trump brigade are praying It fails...they will lose the plot if this works lol...

Why would anyone pray for failure? It is not the "looney left" that is always looking for the next war.

If this pans out, Trump deserves all the praise which comes his way. However, if you care to take a deep breath, and remember a bit of history, a similar agreement was signed in 1994, and look where that ended up.

How quickly we also seem to forget the atrocities Kim has imposed on his citizens since he came to power in 2011 - it doesn't make pretty reading.

I think I will adopt a wait-and-see approach to this one.

Pretty obvious really, they would rather the deal fall over than risk giving Trump any credit for success.

There's been plenty of looney left wars, The Communists helped The Nazis invade Poland and Finland in the early stages of WW II . It was Uncle HO that attacked and invaded Sth Vietnam in 1975 in breach of the truce, and it was the Communist North that invaded the South in Korea sparking this whole problem...

All cheered on by the comrades in various socialist and communist parties and press here in Australia.

To all the nay sayers, at least the man had a go and the world is a safer place at this time. Sure, it may not last - I think Kim could be a little unstable. However, I repeat that if something positive comes out of this, Trump can be considered the best American president in modern history. I guess that we have to sit back and “watch this space”.

Bazza: so people can see what really happened in 1939-41, here is a list of naughties:

Stalin

invaded Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania -- he annexed parts of Rumania and Poland; but even more importantly than that, he traded with Hitler -- from iron ore to wool, from oil to cattle on a massive scale from 1939 to the middle of 1941, a trade, which too often in both Australia and Britain, particularly those whom are left-wing forget, a trad which was actually used by the Germans to fight the British Commonwealth.

Chairman Kim will be visiting both the United States and now a Russian invite.Just on Russia if you read history.The Crimea is there historical territory.

Ark did Stalin lose that war against Finland.
