Even if Kim wiggles out of it later, Trump has done more on Korea than any prez since Ike.
It is still unlikely that Kim actually does denuclearize and sign a peace treaty but it is possible.

The end of this process will be the end of the Korean war, and a federal Korea, without US forces in it.
That will save a lot of money and lives, and change the structure of Asia for the better.
Now we just have to stay the course. 6 more years of Trump will be enough to get the job done.

The US does need to keep some bases scattered out around the world for rapid response purposes, otherwise you'll have more and more Benghazi's.

We won't have Benghazis if we don't practice ridiculous Rambo diplomacy.
There was no reason for the US Ambassador to be in a compound trying to sell arms to quasi-terrorists. It was a ridiculous risk for very little gain.
Truth is, we need to rethink what we are out there in the world FOR.
In any case, yes, sure, we need to maintain bases scattered around the world. No doubt about that.

Yea well that is what some dumbass politicians do climb in bed with vermin, peas in a pod.
I wasn't referring to that part of what happened I was referring to no help close by to respond to or help deter terrorist attacks against any country, it's not all just about the US.

If the US is paying for it, then it is all about the US.
We are only responsible for protecting the lives of foreigners to the extent we choose to be. It is a sovereign, unilateral choice, on our part, as to who we protect and who we don't. We are not obligated to protect anybody by any obligation that we cannot shake off at will. Our people - who pay for it with dollars and blood - are the sole arbiters of who we protect and when.
Given the expense to us, if we decide that we no longer want to spend our people's money "defending" Europe against no real threat, then we don't have to. We can bring the troops home and let the Europeans pay entirely for their own defense against nothing. Whether nothing will STAY nothing, or not, if we leave, is a separate but related question.
One aspect of the stability we provide is that nothing much changes. That being the case, our presence is valuable to those nations, but expensive to us.
Therefore, we should be effectively charging tribute, to defray the FULL cost of our forces being over there, and to bring a small profit to the US Treasury.
Europe and Asia should be paying us for the defense we provide. We should be profiting from it. The psychological advantages for our rulers are by no means enough.

East and West Germany united. Which I thought would never happen in my lifetime. North and South Vietnam united. Which I thought would never happen in my lifetime.
I can see North and South Korea uniting, sure. Maybe even in what's left of my lifetime.

I agree. But the U.S. still has bases in Japan and Guam, and will cerainly be able to bring aircraft carriers in and out of South Korean ports.

Perhaps a neutral Korea with its status guaranteed by a real treaty with China and America.
And South Korea, Japan, America and even China will pay a lot to make it work, to modernize the North.

I imagine they will soon bounce back with some explanation about how That Idiot in the White House somehow stumbled into a big peace deal entirely by accident.
It's a lot better for the talking heads to explain than trying to explain why Nancy Pelosi thinks MS-13 gangs are such fine human beings. Or why Pelosi think Americans hate rising wages and tax cuts.

President Donald J. Trump of the United States of America and Chairman Kim Jong Un of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) held a first, historic summit in Singapore on June 12, 2018. President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un conducted a comprehensive, in-depth, and sincere exchange of opinions on the issues related to the establishment of new U.S.-DPRK relations and the building of a lasting and robust peace regime on the Korean Peninsula. President Trump committed to provide security guarantees to the DPRK, and Chairman Kim Jong Un reaffirmed his firm and unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Convinced that the establishment of new U.S.-DPRK relations will contribute to the peace and prosperity of the Korean Peninsula and of the world, and recognising that mutual confidence building can promote the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un state the following: 1. The United States and the DPRK commit to establish new U.S.-DPRK relations in accordance with the desire of the peoples of the two countries for peace and prosperity. 2. The United States and the DPRK will join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula. 3. Reaffirming the April 27, 2018 Panmunjom Declaration, the DPRK commits to work towards complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. 4. The United States and the DPRK commit to recovering POW/MIA remains, including the immediate repatriation of those already identified. Having acknowledged that the U.S.-DPRK summit — the first in history — was an epochal event of great significance and overcoming decades of tensions and hostilities between the two countries and for the opening of a new future, President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un commit to implement the stipulations in this joint statement fully and expeditiously. The United States and the DPRK commit to hold follow-on negotiations led by the U.S. Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, and a relevant high-level DPRK official, at the earliest possible date, to implement the outcomes of the U.S.-DPRK summit. President Donald J. Trump of the United States of America and Chairman Kim Jong Un of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea have committed to cooperate for the development of new U.S.-DPRK relations and for the promotion of peace, prosperity, and security of the Korean Peninsula and of the world. June 12, 2018 Sentosa Island Singapore
It sounds like we will see POW remains and the remains of American soldiers repatriated in short order. It will give us something of a test of how sincere Kim is. You have to begin with something and that isn't a bad choice.

Washington Examiner: Trump: Otto Warmbier helped make North Korea summit possible
Townhall:
| Kim expressed gratitude for the historic meeting. "Today we had a historic meeting and decided to leave the past behind and we are about to make a historic change," Kim said. "I want to express my gratitude to President Trump to make this meeting happen." President Trump confirmed he plans to meet with Kim "many times" in the future and held a press conference to close out the summit. He also said the U.S. will stop military exercises with South Korea and said eventually the U.S. could pull troops out of the region completely. "Chairman Kim and I just signed a joint statement in which he reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula," Trump said. "As history has proven over and over again, adversaries can indeed become friends...We're prepared to start a new history, and we're ready to write a new chapter between our nations." “Anyone can make war, but only the most courageous can make peace," Trump continued, stressing he has given up nothing at this point in negotiations. "We will be stopping the war games, which will save us a tremendous amount of money, unless and until we see the future negotiation is not going along like it should."
Until denuclearization is complete, economic sanctions on North Korea will remain in place. President Trump is on his way back to the United States. |

Ben Shapiro (who I like) is complaining about Trump not pushing for an end to human rights abuses in North Korea. Gosh. Why not also insist on clean air and clean water, too? North Korea can supply endless fodder to the SJW crowd.
Let another President handle that. Trump is trying to stop a madman from nuking LA and is looks as though he's succeeding. Personally, that's the human rights abuse I'd like to avoid.

Rodman's accusation that Kim was trying to use him to send messages to 0bama and that Rodman was outright rejected by 0bama is an interesting bit. Maybe 0bama missed his own chance to make peace in Korea.

I do sympathize with Ben Shapiro. He's at his best when he's pointing out the idiocy of certain policies, decisions, and actions. But when things are going well he loses his raison d'être.
Rush says something similar -- that if the mainstream media did their job and reported honestly and fairly, talk- show hosts like him wouldn't exist.

Oh, I don't know. We ARE talking about Dennis Rodman. If he came to me with a report that the sky was blue I'd look outside to double-check.
But we ARE also talking about Mr. Community Organizer, I-won't-release-my-grades, "corpse"-man Obama who wouldn't recognize an opportunity if presented with one. His legacy was going to be Obamacare, the doorway to social medicine.

I see no reason to distrust Rodman more than 0bama. Look at all the lies we caught 0bama in, sometimes unnecessary lies, lying for the fun of it apparently.

The US is going to stay on Okinawa and the other island bases they have been on in the Pacific ever since WW-2.
"Rapid Response" has a completely different meaning in 2018 than it had in 1938.

This is a good thing. I never understood our endless hostility with North Korea.
It's easy to understand. North Korea was still at a state of war with South Korean,and by extension the US,and I know for a fact they were sending armed saboteurs into South Korea to assassinate people,blow up infrastructure,etc,etc,etc. Some guys I knew in the 1st SFG from Okie were there on a joint training mission with the SK Special Forces,and killed a dozen or so of the bastards swimming across a river and pulling rubber rafts full of weapons and explosives. I wasn't there,but I did see the photos some friends of mine took that were there.
And that's not even addressing the political sabotage.
The details are fuzzy now,but I SEEM to remember that him or his pappy even sent assassins or saboteurs to the US once back in the 60's. They were rounded up virtually the moment they got here and did no damage,but he did try. Somebody must have whispered something in the ears of the people behind that because AFAIK they never tried it again.

Exactly what you said.
Trump DID make the meeting happen with Kim, negotiated a concession for denuclearization (even if reneged upon,) create the chance for bigger and better things to happen -- which may or may not be the case. BUT no matter what, he's taken the football where NO Prez in our lifetime has -- met and shaken hands with a NORK Leader and advanced peace there.
The Hammer's people skills are off the chart.
What the Fake MSM will NOT report: 0bama could never have pulled this off. He's got an amateurish "people-skills" that fool only idiots. To serious people he sets off a Bullsh*t-Meter from a thousand miles away. His insincere-sincerity vibe is sussed out immediately by any serious negotiator, which is why the only "Let's Make A Deal" card Zero played with was, "HERE'S A CASH PALETTE".

BINGO on that second statement.
That "Ambassador" was a "Candy-Man" arms coordinator/pusher for the terrorists being pimped by Hitlery-0bama on two-for-one black-op/$$$ mission. "Diplomacy" had nothing to do with the Benghazi candy-store.
The "Rambo" part (as depicted in the movie '13 Hours' (great flick btw) was only in total desperate defense for their lives as Hitlery and 0bama hung the outpost and operators out to dry.

I'm guessing that is a case of "six for one,and a half-dozen for the other one."
The most obvious exception being that only China was pushing NK to make waves,and every commie bastard on the planet was using Palestinians for cannon fodder for political purposes.

I wasn't referring to that part of what happened I was referring to no help close by to respond to or help deter terrorist attacks against any country, it's not all just about the US.
If there is peace between the two Koreas I'm sure Japan will be more than willing to offer up some real estate to expand our presence there.

Simple and taking it slowly. The ROK leadership seem to be in support so far. Any security assurance the US gives involves restraining the ROKs.

I doubt any agreement will include the US leaving S.Korea altogether probably reducing total personnel to 10,000 or so. Besides I think we already have 20+ bases in and around Japan so don't really think that would happen.
