Even a blind squirrel will occasionally find an acorn. That about sums up my expectation for Mr. Trump’s North Korean efforts. Do I hope for some great breakthrough? Of course I do. It is well past time for us to actually sign a peace treaty and non-aggression pact with the North. Regime change efforts and the continued war games played out just below the border need to end. The South needs to have complete sovereignty over who and what is on their land. So who knows something good may happen.
As far as Iran, well President “Bone Spur” seems all too happy to put other folks kids in harm’s way. Rather than listen to Saudi royalty and the right-wing Israeli government, he might heed the rest of the planet that thinks the Iran agreement is worthwhile and expand on it rather than cast all his newfound acorns into someone else’s fire.
here is hoping that the North Korea summit goes through and is successful. It would be great for our world if President Trump is successful in bringing peace to the Korean peninsula. Good luck Mr. President, peace loving Americans support you.
The moment easily humiliated Trump fears that NK will cancel, he'll quickly cancel to save face, - or so he thinks. If, by any chance, the summit will take place, Trump and his associates are ill equipped to negotiate at that level. The fact that Trump brags about being such a fantastic negotiator, is in itself a warning signal that he will be screwed and played with. How did we end up in this situation, having such an incompetent and inept laughingstock in charge?
For once, I have to agree with you, Chris: in the last election too many uninformed, gullible and easily fooled voters resulted in an outcome with consequences, - dire ones! We have a mess that it will take someone of President Obama's caliber to fix, if at all possible in our lifetime. Indeed, serious consequences, I'd say.

We ended up here because the American people voted for Trump. It's called an election Jorg and it had consequences.
