Intel chief: North Korea 'unlikely to give up its nuclear weapons'
Denuclearization was never a possibility, imo. What we need to focus on are the people themselves. Open internet. Let them see the outside world.

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats on Tuesday threw cold water on the idea that North Korea will fully get rid of nuclear weapon stockpiles, stating that the country views these capabilities as key to their survival.
"We currently assess that North Korea will seek to retain its [Weapons of Mass Destruction] capabilities," Coats told members of the Senate Intelligence Committee during the panel's worldwide threats hearing.
=============================================
So much for The Donald's photo ops with Kim. Net result = 0.
That's a bit hard to do since N. Korea's government controls all lines going into and out of N. Korea. We're not the ones that have closed the internet to the people of N. Korea. N. Korea's government has.
I do agree that it was never a possibility just through talks though.
At least he tried. :shrug: What did Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr. and Obama do?

So when Trump said we could Trust Kim and that he was a good guy and we could believe him, Trump was either:
A: Gullible
B: Lying
Which one?
How about "diplomatic".
How about "diplomatic".
No, his primary drive was a photo op. EVERYONE against this KNEW the situation for what it was. Trump didn't "try", he ignored everything that anyone with a hint of knowledge of NK was telling him that he ignored. Instead he gave Kim EXACTLY what he wanted, the international stage and recognition.
Now, you would think Trump would have learned from his mistakes right? NOPE, Trump has instead decided to do this ALL over again with another summit. At what point do you recognize Trump is incompetent?
Um no, is lying to the American people now diplomatic to you?
Kim has had an international stage and recognition long before Trump came around. Or did you forget that Kim was talked about by Obama and the media before Trump even ran for the Presidency? NK has been a continual thorn in the US's side for decades. Always getting into our news and other countries news feeds.
Do you know why Diplomats emails are classified? Even the ones that have nothing to do with any sort of policy?
No, Kim was largely ignored and not given a stage WITH the US president for a reason. He was always a squawker, but never taken seriously. Trump gave Kim exactly what he wanted recognition by the United States president.
Oh....WITH the POTUS. That's the only difference?
Tell me, do you really expect NK to change their ways without direct interaction on what appears to be an equal footing?
For decades Presidents have not "given a stage" with NK. How has that worked out for us and the world? NK got nukes. That's how it worked out for us and the world. All past Presidents tried to do is use sanctions. Did that prevent NK from getting nukes? Nope. It didn't. It was a policy that, over decades, failed. The definition of insanity is to keep trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Now you're pissed that Trump actually tried to do something personally? Something different? Somehow I've got the feeling that if a Democrat President had been the one to try and do what Trump did you'd be chanting a completely different tune. One of support instead of condemnation.

Notice the key word there, classified? You don't have to praise a dictator like Kim PUBLICLY as Trump did. Funny you have no problem with Trump attacking and insulting American leaders and you have no problem with Trump praising dictators. Is there anything you will criticize Trump for? You guys had not problem criticizing Obama for every little thing but you defend all of Trump's actions.
You didn't answer the question. Not surprised. Here, I'll answer it for you.
Diplomats emails are classified in all instances because at times diplomats may say unkind things towards the people that they are supposed to be using diplomacy on. Things that may harm relations.
In other words part of being diplomatic is saying either neutral things or words of praise depending on the situation. Never ever, when being diplomatic, do you say unkind things. That is diplomacy 101.
I'd like to say more but I have to go take my mom to the doctors. ttyl. When I get back I'll show you that I can criticize Trump and perhaps if I'm not feeling lazy I'll show you a past post or two of me criticizing him.
At least he tried. :shrug: What did Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr. and Obama do?
I to am SHOCKED that North Korea has not agreed to eliminate their nuclear capabilities after one meeting with Trump.
Look at how easy it was for Kerry/Obama to give back over $100 billion to Iran for not doing the intelligence agencies said they were not doing anyhow! Wow Obama and his cultists are really smart. Those Trump cultists really dumb, correct?

Trump tweet said:North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!
