^^^^THAT

The narcissistic sociopath that can do no wrong, has never done anything wrong and would deny it even it if NK launched a nuclear warhead ICBM. SO yes, he becomes a willing ally of NK and its propaganda via his own ego.



Or, he has painted America into a corner with no good options. He has threatened fire and fury. Then conceited that Kim "President Donald Trump said Tuesday that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un -- the man he once mocked as "Little Rocket Man" -- "has really been very open and I think very honorable based on what we are seeing".

Countries that are watching, calculating, planning, taking action:

-Iran
-Russia
-China
-NK
-Syria

Well, keep in mind that 'good options' doesn't really apply to Trump. Tomorrow he could decide that North Korea is an imminent threat and start bombing them. Or that Kim is a hero who deserves our support. Or that North Korea is in Mexico, and thus the wall will fix things. It all depends on what he sees on Fox and Friends.

Well, after the meeting, Trump claimed that the DPRK had returned the remains of 200 dead soldiers.

Not 'was going to', but actually had done so.

Then, it was walked back to "was going to".

Well, it turns out that it was simply an agreement to have a meeting about it.

That meeting was scheduled for yesterday.

And nobody from the DPRK showed up.

U.S. spy agencies: North Korea is working on new missiles

By Ellen Nakashima and Joby Warrick
July 30
WaPo

U.S. spy agencies are seeing signs that North Korea is constructing new missiles at a factory that produced the country’s first intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the United States, according to officials familiar with the intelligence.

Newly obtained evidence, including satellite photos taken in recent weeks, indicates that work is underway on at least one and possibly two liquid-fueled ICBMs at a large research facility in Sanumdong, on the outskirts of Pyongyang, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe classified intelligence.

The findings are the latest to show ongoing activity inside North Korea’s nuclear and missile facilities at a time when the country’s leaders are engaged in arms talks with the United States. The new intelligence does not suggest an expansion of North Korea’s capabilities but shows that work on advanced weapons is continuing weeks after President Trump declared in a Twitter posting that Pyongyang was “no longer a Nuclear Threat.”

The reports about new missile construction come after recent revelations about a suspected uranium-enrichment facility, called Kangson, that North Korea is operating in secret. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo acknowledged during Senate testimony last week that North Korean factories “continue to produce fissile material” used in making nuclear weapons. He declined to say whether Pyongyang is building new missiles.

. . .Senior North Korean officials have discussed their intention to deceive Washington about the number of nuclear warheads and missiles they have, as well as the types and numbers of facilities, and to rebuff international inspectors, according to intelligence gathered by U.S. agencies. Their strategy includes potentially asserting that they have fully denuclearized by declaring and disposing of 20 warheads while retaining dozens more.

And things continue to be . . . as bad as ever. Looks like we accomplished nothing other than emboldening Kim.

North Korea rejecting US proposals in diplomatic standoff
By Michelle Kosinski, CNN

Updated 3:51 PM ET, Fri August 10, 2018

Washington - The US has made repeated proposals to North Korea on denuclearization, all of which have been rejected, according to senior diplomatic sources.

The United States has made, and continues to make, "specific proposals for starting and proceeding to the end point of fully verified denuclearization," including a timeline, these sources say.

North Korea has rejected all of these proposals, considering them "gangster-like," one of the sources said.
. . .
The vague promises that emerged from President Donald Trump's June summit with leader Kim Jong Un have led to a diplomatic disconnect. The brief document produced after the leaders met included no time frame, no specific promises or milestones to meet, allowing both sides to interpret it as they wished.

No kidding.

Trump met with him as an equal and called him all sorts of complimentary things.

Then came back and said that the threat from the DPRK was over.

Of course, KJU loved having his stature elevated in that way, but has no plans to denuclearize.

What's Trump going to do? Sic the "SPACE FORCE!!!!!!" on him?

Even the most junior manager knows that objectives need to be specific, measurable, and some other stuff... Politically correct, maybe?

I wish my targets for the year were 'do stuff'. In fact, even that would be better than our diplomatic efforts as it's got a timescale attached.

Surprisingly North Korea isn't doing what it is supposed to be doing. Shocking really. Who could have foreseen that? Nobody really.
