having lived in Korea, yea, I'm used to ALL of the failed peace talks, and negotiations that fell through...
so I am of the mindset, of expect the worst, hope for the best.
I will give Trump Credit here though, for attempting to initiate peace...
I give him credit for his effort, I always have. I also gave him credit for not doing something stupid just to get a deal done when it fell through last time. I actually gave him credit for what some perceived as a failure at that point, because I saw it as a sign that he was not going to approach the situation with foolhardy ambition and mess everything up.
What I won't do (because it's stupid) is pretend that it is an accomplishment before anything actually gets accomplished. It's okay to applaud somebody's efforts. It's not okay to start handing out participation trophies to the president.
This is what I was talking about the other day. I am almost always very moderate and practical, but somehow it gets twisted into something else entirely because other people take things way too far and I have to point it out.
It's okay to applaud somebody's efforts towards a goal, and still acknowledge they have not accomplished their goal.
You should always look at potential peace with a nut who threatens our allies in a positive way.
Of course, and I've praised Trump all along for that effort.
I don’t really get the people who seem to bash Trump here. Even with Nukes involved, wouldn’t it still be a good thing for the Korean Peninsula to get along. Wouldn’t that be a good thing for the people of NK especially?
I'm hoping this isn't at all a reference to anything I've said, since I haven't said anything remotely close to bashing Trump other than being critical of his "I have a bigger rocket" Tweet, which is objectively ridiculous.
yea, I don't get it either.
I'm not a big fan of this administration but Jesus Christ, I can at least acknowledge the "good" that can come about from this.
Acknowledging the good that
can come from this, of course.
