The Summit

2/26/2019

0 Comments

 
President Trump is in Hanoi for his second summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. We need to be clear about who we are dealing with. He leads the most brutal regime on the face of the earth and has even had members of his family killed.
All past efforts with North Korea have gone nowhere. All of their promises have been empty. Just the fact that the two countries are talking is positive since it reduces the tension.  
We can be cautiously optimistic but not expect too much. We want them to get rid of their nuclear weapons. If that happens, it will only be after a long, tortuous process. Some are trying to promote the idea that the summit will be a failure if denuclearization isn’t accomplished in one fell swoop. Early on there will be small concessions. They stopped testing weapons after the last summit.
The summit should be considered a success if the process continues to move forward. That’s all we can hope for.

At long last this idiotic shutdown is over. Hopefully cooler heads prevail and it doesn’t start up again.

The real story is that 800,000 government workers are back on the job and many millions of people are no longer inconvenienced.

Unfortunately, that is not the story we are hearing in the media. Their story is about how Speaker Pelosi beat President Trump. He got himself into this mess. She decided that all that mattered was winning. The harm done to the people involved was of no concern whatsoever. A good leader puts the good of the people over political gamesmanship,

it would be nice to think that both people have learned their lesson and will try to do what is best for the
country. I sure wouldn’t bet on it.
