Playing him like a fiddle.
Old technique: pretend sincerity while having no intention of scrapping anything, blame other party when it doens't work. String things along.

I predict Trump says something wildly inappropriate, Kim uses it as an excuse to storm out blaming the US, "we acted in good faith and look how they treat us" etc and looking to the South as an ally as a step to removing US influence.

(up to 18/05 it was 13 soldiers in combat vs 26 students - although there was another shooting yesterday so that may have changed)

It will be interesting to see just how overstretched they (we) can get around the world. Cue Trump ordering NATO countries to start contributing more to pay for America's wars - maybe even commit soldiers and resources as well.Last edited by Jog On; 25 May 2018, 10:55.

I was hoping they would meet - compare the size of their nuclear buttons(or other bits) then let the world get on in peace.
