That's rich!

Strange that no liberals here bashing Trump for “stealing” North Korea’s ship or something. Total silence whenever Trump does something right or takes strong actions against Russia or NK.
Doesnt fit the narrative so ignore it, I guess.

Piracy or bullying. The people have no food or medicine, but still robbed.

The names of the smuggler are "Wise Honest"!?. Wonderful sense.
I will not keep the contract and will require the other party to keep the contract.
If the UN Security Council sanctions are not granted, let's leave.
After all, North and South are Koreans.

I guess they're just so shocked that Trump has actually done something that should have been done in the first place. Why praise somebody for that?
Does that fit your narrative?

Yes, he should have right from the beginning agitate the NK people from the starting gate without them knowing a thing about how and where he stands. Trump did the right thing,
learning and studying about how Kim operates, build a report and a relationship, before taking this action which could have complicated things more. Now Kim is careful knowing where Trump stands on this issue, Kim wants sanction relief and he’s only going to go so far with the insults.

Gangster I do believe that's now a term used to describe someone who's successful? That's what I've learnt from the peeps on the street. I'm down with that. After all it's hammer time.

I half agree with you bass. This time Trump is doing the right thing... I don't believe for a second that Kim cares. His recent meetings with China and Russia followed up with some missile launches tell me this. I also don't think Trump's initial actions re NK were the right ones. Certainly had nothing to do with building report [sic].

I've never agreed with the ridiculous, over-the-top rhetoric that comes out of NKorea - but if they are saying we have a member of organized crime in he White House, well, looks like this is a first...

waot, NK committed several violations of international laws, kidnapping foreign citizens is a gangster-style act for example.

The ship was breaking UN international sanctions. Pot calling the kettle black.
C'mon, DPRK let's hear you promise to keep the ship clean and above suspicion, and then maybe the world will show you more sympathy, especially if you then keep your promises.

Nonsense, you need to be convicted of a crime first before being labeled a criminal. Anyway, if there will be a solution to this crisis, it’s anyone’s guess, but Kim is out of his mind if he thinks he can demand anything or push for sanction relief, it doesn’t matter and all the rocket firing and saber rattling won’t change it.

Of course the US is gangster country that does not care at all about international laws. The US does not recognise the International Court and just manipulates the UN.
The UN is just an expensive institution and is of no value. It is not until the people start demanding that their governments stop kowtowing to the US that this rogue nation will be contained. People power IS very effective if the people have the guts to use it.

I think everyone wants NK not to have nuclear weapons. EVERYONE outside NK, that is.
A peaceful, prosperous, open, democratic NK is in the best interest of the entire world, including the USA and NK and Japan and SK and China. Well, perhaps China would strike "democratic" from the list.
Never. He was President Obama to me most of the time even though I disagreed with most of his work. At least he behaved like a President, not a 6 yr old.

And once again we have a situation where Bass has made a claim, but then has been shown to have done the exact opposite of what they claim in the past. Bass has repeatedly called Hillary, never convicted of a crime, a criminal, while now claiming that one must be convicted of a crime to be called a criminal.
Now, when one reads comments by Bass in the future, they will evaluate those comments as being made by someone who says one thing, yet does the other. Therefore the only logical conclusion will be that any comments he makes on pretty much everything cannot be taken as credible.

Criminals engage in criminal behavior, like corruption, fraud, obstruction, and conspiracy. Those criminals that are caught and convicted in a trial are "convicted criminals"....
Similar to "unidicted co-conspirator"...

They weren't named as doing that in the Mueller report..."Individual -1" was...
