North Korea fired missiles across Japan

Yeah, the last time was Nov. 2017.

American foreign policy under this administration is pure poison.

As compared to what? The previous administration's foreign policy? Har!

0 ( +0 / -0 )

He's not wrong. American foreign policy under this administration is pure poison. In fact, most administrations with the occasional exception from time to time.

1 ( +1 / -0 )

But not in WW2.

But won it.

To use your own words, nope, Trump is doing this very well.

Actually, he’s not. From weaponizing the DOJ, the FBI, intelligence community, political correctness, gender and race card to NATO, China, disastrous Iranian deals, China, Cuba, that’s all Democrats that managed to mess things up royally for us and the world.

You're joking.

Nope.

Even with the help of allies, the whole world saw the US evacuation of Saigon. 

So like with the Afghanis, we should have held the S. Vietnamese hands and push them to fight on?

Without the help of its allies the US is a drop in the bucket

Germany and Japan and Saddam (twice) thought that as well.

and this is why Pompeo is running around the world trying to find allies against Iran.

As I said, we can go it alone. Clinton did. But he’s taking the diplomatic approach which is the right thing to do, but we don’t need to do it.

For the past 80 years the US has needed its allies in all its military misadventure (Vietnam, Iraq, Libya....).

And we still did 80% of the work

You can't change history, you can't hide the facts.

Why and what for? Wouldn’t want to.

bass4funk: "destroying our country"

To use your own words, nope, Trump is doing this very well.

"Because it would as a token of political etiquette at best to ask the world body, but make no mistakes, we really don’t need to."

Bass:. hacking into our systems, destroying our country, our consumers and the last 3 Presidents did nothing about it and finally this President with a pair of big sparkling brass ones

Russia.

America continues with the sanctions

Exactly!

and Trump stops the nonsense about Kim being a great leader. He's a brutal dictator who kills his own family.

Everyone has a limit, even Trump.

Find something he want's more than his nukes and able to give.

Sanctions relief.

Kim is playing Trump/America.

It’s actually the other way around. Did you notice Kim is looking a bit frail and thinner recently? Wow!

-4 ( +0 / -4 )

Why are you always looking for an enemy?

I could flip that question around.

Stop trading with China, stop trying to blame other nations for your mismanagement.

Nope, sorry! When we allowed China in the WTO they promised to abide by all the trade rules, but they started stealing intellectual property, manipulating their Currency, hacking into our systems, destroying our country, our consumers and the last 3 Presidents did nothing about it and finally this President with a pair of big sparkling brass ones took China on. Thank God!

It is the US that is going around the globe, cap in hand, asking for help, trying to assemble and alliance.

Because it would as a token of political etiquette at best to ask the world body, but make no mistakes, we really don’t need to.

It is the US that constantly seeks help for its military misadventures. 

That would be debatable.

Try has you may, you can not erase US history.

Why would I want to? Lol

Well, for starters lets lock up the Dimwit so he can't fly off to meet Otto Warmbier's killer and slobber all over him...

Uh, that's not gonna solve the North Korea problem, lincolnman. Can't you give Trump until at least the end of his first term, being as how Obama did nothing in eight years?

I could if we were making some progress, but Donnie's met Kimmie three times - what has the US received in return?

Does he have less or more nukes since he first met Trump?

Has he stopped missile launches and testing?

Has he allowed inspections of his nuclear facilities?

Has our readiness decreased due to our cutback in exercises?

Answers are; more, no, no, yes...

In comparison to progress, Donnie is making the situation worse - by getting manipulated and conned by Kim.

Seriously, we're losing....

Serrano: Confirmation Pompeo is doing his job.

When the other side is talking about you like that, it's confirmation that negotiations have been a complete and utter failure.

as how Obama

The white surrender flag is up. Can't point to any good Trump has done here, so talk about Obama instead.

It's all nonsense until Kim is prepared to give up his nukes, which he isn't.

You got any better ideas that'll work instantly? Didn't think so.

Yea, Obama knew better than to get played 

No, Obama just didn't bother to make any progress on North Korea.

Oh really? Meeting with the Little Dictator and giving him more propaganda to cement his reign is progress? All the while he is still testing his missiles and building more nukes?

That's not progress - that's losing - bigly....

Kim is twice the con-man Donnie is....

bass4funk: "That would definitely please Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, I think not." Why are you always looking for an enemy?

"And allow the world and especially China screw us and put more of our people in poverty?"

Stop trading with China, stop trying to blame other nations for your mismanagement.

" but if the world were more dependent and not ask us for anything, that would be a great thing,"

It is the US that is going around the globe, cap in hand, asking for help, trying to assemble and alliance. It is the US that constantly seeks help for its military misadventures.

Try has you may, you can not erase US history.

-3 ( +1 / -4 )

A better idea is the US set the example to the rest of the world by denuclearizing.

That would definitely please Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, I think not.

Better idea is US stop its Space Force program.

Nope

Better idea is Trump stop his economic war on the globe.

And allow the world and especially China screw us and put more of our people in poverty? Absolutely not.

Better idea is US stop trying to dominate the globe. Want more getter ideas?

We are not trying to dominate the world, but if the world were more dependent and not ask us for anything, that would be a great thing, but when Obama and Trump want to become more isolationists than the world starts falling apart and blames us for it, so when we thought we were out, they pull us back in.

zichi: "Kim/NK threatened to use his nukes against Japan/America.."

NK has only ever threatened the US in retaliation. It is the US that has a policy of

"pre-emptive strike".

It was Trump/US that threatened to wipe NK off the earth. Furthermore, which is the only nation on earth that has a history of using nuclear arms against civilians? No one liners. Unfortunately, the US will never be able to avoid its history.

Trump's progress on Kim/NK is a big obese zero.

More than Obama. He never even made it across the DMZ or got even one beautiful letter.

I thought this was a joke when I first read it - someone is boasting that Obama didn't get a DMZ visit or beautiful letter? Seriously?

Yea, Obama knew better than to get played - Dimwit Donnie lets Kim play him like a fiddle...

@zichi......why should fat kim give up his nukes? because you say so?......lol

Halwick: "Poisonous plants can be useful in getting rid of pests.....like Kim"

A poisonous plant also invaded Vietnam, Iraq, many South American countries, many Central American countries, many Middle Eastern countries, ...

A poisonous plant has now declared an economic war with the world, A poisonous plant is will on the process in starting another world war.

How has your life improved under Trump; higher wages, more job security, more national security? Be honest!

Pompeo and Trump are reflection of US society. They voted to make a mentally ill reality TV celebrity their president. These goons have done nothing but cause havoc from the day Trump as elected and now the Western Wimps are going to follow this pair into another war. We are allowing our governments to follow a mentally deranged POTUS into war. Of cause, nether Trump, Pompeo or our governments will be fighting; their will be hiding in their bunkers.

That alliteration has great headline potential. Pi**ed-off NK dude pokes pesky, porky Pompeo as poisonous plant.

6 ( +7 / -1 )

Xi and Putin have Kim's back, and he's best friends with Trump. Odds are pretty slim North Korea ever gives up its nukes.

One of the many unfortunate realities of Trump's presidency is he's in so far over his head on international issues (beyond marketing the trump brand name and arranging trademarks for Ivanka with members of the CCP and other global oligarchs) that he's had to bring in deep swampmen like Pompeo to do his job for him while he's out playing golf.

Moscow Mitch McConnell wants the 'poisonous plant' to join him in the US Senate.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Senate Republicans believe (Pompeo) the former U.S. congressman from Kansas would be a strong candidate should he decide to run for one of the state's Senate seats in 2020.
