So it's give away the farm, once again. Art of the Deal by Kim Jong Un, would we expect anything different? Maybe Trump will get a building in NK with his name on it . . .

Kim did suggest he would allow an American hamburger stand - t's symbolic food.
 
Trump refuses to sign with our allies but signs a we are now pals declaration with a murderous dictator? I wonder how Otto Warmbier's parents feel about such coziness with their sons murderer?

If a Dem. had done this your head would have exploded. Just the fact that the POTUS met with a murderous dictator giving him equal standing without a single concession should be enough to incite some concern.

HISTORY STORIES
The Brutal History of Japan’s ‘Comfort Women’
Lee Ok-seon was running an errand for her parents when it happened: a group of uniformed men burst out of a car, attacked her and dragged her into the vehicle. As they drove away, she had no idea that she would never see her parents again.

She was 14 years old.

That fateful afternoon, Lee’s life in Busan, a town in what is now South Korea, ended for good. The teenager was taken to a so-called “comfort station”—a brothel that serviced Japanese soldiers—in Japanese-occupied China. There, she became one of the tens of thousands of “comfort women” subjected to forced prostitution by the imperial Japanese army between 1932 and 1945.

It’s been nearly a century since the first women were forced into sexual slavery for imperial Japan, but the details of their servitude remains painful and politically divisive in Japan and the countries it once occupied. Records of the women’s subjugation is scant; there are very few survivors and an estimated 90 percent of “comfort women” did not survive the war.

Though military brothels existed in the Japanese military since 1932, they expanded widely after one of the most infamous incidents in imperial Japan’s attempt to take over the Republic of China and a broad swath of Asia: the Rape of Nanking. On December 13, 1937, Japanese troops began a six-week-long massacre that essentially destroyed the Chinese city of Nanking. Along the way, Japanese troops raped between 20,000 and 80,000 Chinese women.

Ah yes, whataboutism going back decades to make excuses for a brutal dictator. You certainly are a fine Trump lackey . . . he's up in you so far he's coming out of your mouth.

First step away from nuclear war...

China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the meeting was “creating a new history”.
“The United States and North Korea have been in a state of antagonism for more than half a century,” Wang said. “Today, that the two countries’ highest leaders can sit together and have equal talks, has important and positive meaning, and is creating a new history.”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said he approved of Trump’s meeting with Kim, Interfax reported.
“The mere fact of the meeting between the leaders of the United States and North Korea is positive,” he said.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe expressed hope that the unprecedented summit will lead to a successful resolution of the North Korean nuclear and missile issues.
“North Korea has rich [natural] resources and a diligent workforce. It will have a bright future if it treads the right path,” Abe said.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in said he “could hardly sleep” in anticipation of the meeting and expressed hope for “complete denuclearisation and peace”.
“All the attention of our people is on Singapore,” he told cabinet ministers. “I too, could hardly sleep last night.”

But the EU praised the summit as a “crucial and necessary step”, saying it indicated “complete denuclearisation” of the Korean peninsula could be achieved.
“This summit was a crucial and necessary step to build upon the positive developments achieved in inter-Korean relations and on the peninsula so far,” the EU’s diplomatic chief Federica Mogherini said in a statement.

Seems like everyone agrees that nothing of substance came out of the meeting.

Or - the modern diplomacy version - issue an official statement that says nothing at all.

If Kim beat Trump in an arm wrestling match, Trump and his apologist would deem it a victory. It's love, pure unadulterated love. They long for a daddy figure and authoritarian type leaders turn them on, it's sickening.

Where was the outrage when Obama made the deal with the murderers that run Iran and Cuba?
