Is it really possible? Those are good questions, too. But apparently some are attempting to do exactly that. I don't want to get too cerebral here, but international politics seem so very different and strange to me now and not as clear cut as I remember from when I was younger. Or maybe my perspective has just changed with the advancing years and my own evolving values? I was raised with fairly strict learning about the differences between "right" and "wrong." Now those don't seem to be as sharply defined as before. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, and now it seems as if we’re making deals with the devil, at least in this case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Peterson Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Donald President has become the first US president to set foot on North Korean soil. Personally I think the Guy Has Balls to do this But I don't see many Congratulating him on the attempts made to make Friends. All well and good so Far BUT let's think on this Guy's & Gal's, Instead of Going back in history for answers we all should be looking Forward, I say this because there is never really any Future in the Past, just learn by the mistakes made. For sure, if he does well and stops/averts aggression and or any war we will all Thank Him But if he stuffs it up, He will get the Blame I am sure and that will be a shame because we should not knock the Man that Tries Such is my Opinion and belief 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...learn from mistakes in the past and look to the future. I am personally glad to see that maybe some sort of progress is being made, but I am also just leery about dealing with a proven dictator who tortures and kills his own people if they disagree with him. And a bit of an aside... You mention that no one is congratulating the president? He doesn't seem to need that because he is always congratulating himself! He should be careful that he doesn't break his arm from patting himself on the back too vigorously! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, as you suggest, let's look to the future. Let's hope. Of course we still have China, Russia, Iran to consider, just in case we start to feel complacent. But there seems to be positive action with China recently, at least. Sorry...I guess, as usual, I went off topic here again... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
