What has been disproven in the Steel dossier? And how does treating the psychotic (There really is no other way to describe someone who murders his uncle by throwing him chained and naked into a pit full of dogs to be eaten alive) dictator of a pariah nation who is playing with nuclear weapons as an equal on the world stage NOT elevate his standing before most of the rest of the world?

 

*sighs
Not Shooters day to educate you. Do a little homework and see what has been proven, disproven, and unproven. Then you can apologize to the forum.

Look. The fat fuck is a whack job of the first order. He is also, like it or not, the political leader of North Korea. Has been leader long enough that he doesn't need our acknowledgement to "elevate" his status.
We aren't talking about some revolutionary standing on the steps of the local government house that was just overrun by thugs, claiming he is now the lifetime leader of (insert country here).

 

That is exactly what we are talking about. The Kim regime came to power in the 50s in an attempted coup of the Korean government by communist allied rebels looking for an easy takeover in the post Japanese occupation era. They were nearly defeated by allied troops but were saved at the last minute by communist troops from China that crossed the border. The fighting led to a stalemate and an Armastice, but never a surrender or formal end of hostilities.
The Kim's grandfather took power and kept the whole North on a war footing. His father inherited the war status and kept it, passing it on to Un.
It has always been US policy NOT to engage in any way with the Kim without all of the other players in the war present, and never face to face with our respective leaders until the war status was formally ended. It still has not been settled.

 

But not because shooter actually could educate anyone... But because he can't educate anyone without exposing his serious lack of knowledge...

 

Huh. So, 3 generations after your so called "coup" the leadership of North Korea is illegitimate.
Ignoring that after WWII, like a lot of countries Japan fucked over in the first half of the 20th century, Korea was split, with Russia in North Korea and the US and it's allies in South Korea. As legitimate as what happened with Vietnam after WWII. Or Germany. And if you are logically correct, why the FUCK were we talking with Castro under the Obama administration?

In any case, lets cut to the chase. By your logic, If North Korea is an illegitimate government 3 generations after they became the leaders, The US government is equally illegitimate almost 250 years after we tossed the British and their tea in the ocean.

 

I didn't support normalization with Castro and still dont, unlike the Trumpster who tried to see if he could licence a hotel there. And as long as we are nominally at war in Korea I won't support normalizing the Kim, either.

 

Trump's "Castro business"? You mean two decades ago? Is that what you're talking about?
You should now be an ardent Trump supporter since Trump restricted travel to Cuba as one of his early acts in office. You know, cause Obama wanted to normalize Cuba/US relations?
Jesus

But, shooter will let President Trump know you expect him to go back to the old days, when we didn't talk to people like Kim, cause, you know, fuck em. Let em build their nukes, and threaten people in the region, and kill their own people in horrific ways.

 

You need to work on your reading skills. I don't oppose talking to the NKs. Lord knows the ROK would really like to peruse normalization. But the talks need to go 6 ways not 2. ROK, Japan, China, Russia, DPRK and the US all need to be involved. Because, you know, war status and all.
And yes, two decades ago the Trumpster tried to circumvent the Cuban embargo. And trying to pretend his reversal of Obama's normalization policy there was anything but his own policy of trying to wipe the black guy's legacy out is ludicrous, so don't bother.

I don't like it on the principle that the Castros are scum and are still in power. When that changes, so can the embargo. Same goes for the Kim.

 

None of the Steele dossier has been "disproven." There are some parts that have not been confirmed yet but nothing it it so far has proven false and more than a half dozen things in the dossier have been proven true.

 

Trump’s lawyers fear he gave Mueller a massive gift with this week’s Putin disaster: CNN

 

Questions mount over Trump-Putin discussions

 

Concern in White House over intelligence chief’s Russian summit surprise

 

WOW someone is sure shook up.

 

There is no method to Trump's behavior, only madness. He behaves impulsively and does not think about the long term implications of his behavior.

 

I've got a question for all of the calling out Trump not being Hard enough on Putin.

What do you actually want done to Putin?


Massive sanctions through the UN even though Russia has a veto that can't be over turned.

Or how about cutting all ties with the Russian government regardless of if they are beneficial.

 

Yeah this is a shot across Trump's bow. It is a warning.

Ex-FBI special agent turned GOP Congressman ‘frankly sickened’ by Helsinki: Trump ‘was manipulated by Vladimir Putin’

 

Nothing to him, other than to halt his expansionist tendencies. Crimea and the Ukraine are examples of Putin's desire to rebuilt the old territories of the old USSR. If what Putin has on Trump convinces him to allow Putin to move on the Ukraine, that could be a serious game changer.
