no longer a super power. The world has pivoted to China and left us behind.

We know Putin and Un are friendly and in cahoots. This is a STRIKING turnaround for NK. It would be advantageous to them both to support trump to pull this off.

Trust but verify. Or, don't trust...

This is out of character for Un.

Dangerous that enemies feel the need to work together to make sure trump doesn't hurt them.

Ignoring them worked better. They aren’t doing anything different. You want to credit anyone, credit the Olympic Games.

Trump had no involvement in this. And I seriously doubt NK is giving up their nukes.

From the beginning, the back and forth was too over the top to be believable.... I don't think anyone truly believed N Korea was a real threat.

The source of N Korea's turnaround lies in what recent deals they've received through Russia, China or the US.

Trump has been very quick to claim victory.... Smells fishy..

I could give Trump credit once all possibilities of fishiness proven ruled out.

I'm of the group that thinks he has no clue as to what is going on. I didn't say he was at his twitter claiming credit, though that should be soon.
