We must still remember that Kim Jong Un is a brutal, torturous, murderous, repressive dictator in a country that has been running the same for over 70 years. There’s no freedom, everyone Must Comply, and so forth. So, there’s a long way to go. Remember, China wasn’t exactly a paragon of virtue and freedom when Nixon went to China, and still aren’t the greatest. You have to start somewhere, and getting rid of North Korea’s nukes is a big first step
(CBS) President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a document that Mr. Trump described as “important” and “comprehensive,” to conclude their meetings in Singapore. The document, which offers few details about how the aims will be accomplished, says North Korea commits to working towards denuclearization.
Mr. Trump said he “absolutely” will invite Kim to the White House. Mr. Trump said he thinks the summit went “better than anybody could have expected.”
As they began the summit, Mr. Trump said he thinks he and Kim will have a “terrific relationship,” and Kim, through a translator, said North Korea had to overcome a number of “obstacles” to get to this moment.
Mr. Trump and Kim participated in a one-on-one meeting, with translators only, followed by an expanded meeting including their top advisers, and a working lunch.
You can read the full text of the document here. The most important part of it reads
- The United States and the DPRK commit to establish new US-DPRK relations in accordance with the desire of the peoples of the two countries for peace and prosperity.
- The United States and DPRK will join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula.
- Reaffirming the April 27, 2018 Panmunjom Declaration, the DPRK commits to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula
- The United States and the DPRK commit to recovering POW/MIA remains, including the immediate repatriation of those already identified.
What will happen going forth? Good question. Trump has stated that the war games on the Korean peninsula will end, but sanctions will remain. Will Kim stay honest? We’ve seen the BS that North Korean leaders have provided through the years. Time will tell.
Of course, you do have your typical unhinged liberals having conniption fits, such as this HuffPost headline and loopy story:
Murderous Dictator Meets Dishonest President Behind Closed Doors
How will the American public know what they actually said? They may not.
These people.
