[rainman + 263]

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday called off a planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, even after North Korea followed through on a pledge to blow up tunnels at its nuclear test site.Referring to a scheduled June 12 meeting with Kim in Singapore, Trump said in a letter to the North Korean leader: “Sadly, based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it would be inappropriate, at this time, to have this long- planned meeting.”

Not a surprise this never took place - all theatrical bluff on both sides and the gladiatorial game carries on. What a farce!

What no Nobel peace prize? Shocking!

After all, did anyone really think this would happen?

Real question is who's cancelled this fake summit? Kim Jong-Un doesn't tweet...:)

[pinto + 293]

 Xi and Kim are like a twins. China inserted itself and tried to "support" summit.  Deception. Now we are at the beginning of nothing.

Let me guess: there are many of us who think this is a win?

In labor negotiations strategy, I was always taught "don't be the first one to walk away from the table. It's a sign of not willing to negotiate or resolve issues."

I knew it....We knew it....Good - now KJU can get on with the job - no peace on Peninsula or world..

They were searching for a reason to cancel the summit. Trump was no ready for a serious meeting.

I repost here the link to the article I posted tuesday

I agree. Foreign policy is without a clear vision.. (blackout, blackout and retreat...)

[jose chalhoub + 388]

And I thought that now foreign policy under Pompeio and Bolton and the likes of hawkish in the White House was kinda coherent... just fake and fake...

We had Fake News... and now we have Fake Summits !!

What will they do with all these medals...?

They sorta look like beer bottle tops. Maybe they need to use them on non-alcoholic beer and market it as Fake Beer!

[Sofia + 35]

Surprise, surprise. Now both administrations got what they were looking for. A talking point for their domestic base saying that they have tried but diplomacy failed. 

[Tom Kirkman + 8,860]

My own view, which I am a bit reluctant to discuss on this forum, is the talks will go through, North Korea will capitulate, and the WW III nuclear threat from North Korea will evaporate. 

Oh, and Iran and the USA should normalize relations a bit by end of this year.

What's going on now is just the bargaining dance.

Anyway:

Oh, my. They do! 

Did anyone say what happened? Or did Trump just had a bad hair day?
