Lol Pompeo is now confusing us all and backing off on things




BREAKING: Pompeo says US wants North Korea to take major nuclear disarmament steps by end of Trump's first term.

The Latest: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises will resume if North Korea stops negotiating in good faith over its nuclear program.




.......................

Didn't Trump just say this morning "Mission Accomplished" NK was no longer a nuclear threat......The Rollback has begun.

Create a threat, gin it up into a crisis, then back off and claim to have "solved" the problem. No, the problem was you all along, Cletus. When you get bored again or feel sufficiently underappreciated, you'll crank up another threat. It's what you do.

though more restrained than Trump. Yet, he had his ways of showing a contempt for those who worked subordinate to him that was pure Trumpian. He felt no compunction about stifling his "gas" attacks whatsoever. At first I thought it was uncontrollable for him, but no.. it was clearly something he used to send a message.

I find boorish people like this beyond belief.

He gave Kim Jung Un the validation that he wanted, got tRump to agree to cancel the joint military drills and got squat in return.

I heard on a radio music station here in Los Angeles "news" that . . .

Denuclearizaion of North Korea's nuclear arsenal is on the way and the "33" thousands of US military force are coming home. Now I could be wrong but isn't there approx. "28" thousand there?????????


And what about South Korea? Any consultation with them?


As usual, fuck the democracy countries for the dictator country.
