[Jan2017]

Anybuddy got predictions on what the geopolitical maps will look like on June 13 ?

Prediction . . .
- nearly 99% of 28,000 USA troops stationed on the Korean pennisula will be sent stateside . . .

...
This highly anticipated summit on the heels of prisoners release could be truly historic even if it is true that high level meetings/prisoners releases have taken place before and recent demand by NK leader could turn out to be problematic:

Update:


CIA report says North Korea won't denuclearize, but might open a burger joint (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?522776-Russia-stealing-limelight-Russia-s-FM-Lavrov-holds-summit-with-North-Korea-s-KJU&p=6635685&viewfull=1#post6635685)

WASHINGTON — A new U.S. intelligence assessment has concluded that North Korea does not intend to give up its nuclear weapons any time soon, three U.S. officials told NBC News — a finding that conflicts with recent statements by President Donald Trump that Pyongyang intends to do so in the future.

Trump is continuing to pursue a nuclear summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un even though the CIA analysis, which is consistent with other expert opinion, casts doubt on the viability of Trump's stated goal for the negotiations, the elimination of North Korea's nuclear weapons stockpile.


Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd of Fake News NBC just stated that we have given up so much in our negotiations with North Korea, and they have given up nothing. Wow, we haven’t given up anything & they have agreed to denuclearization (so great for World), site closure, & no more testing!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 22, 2018

It suggests Kim is interested in a peaceful gesture to an American president whose love of fast-food burgers is well known — and who, during the 2016 campaign, had said he wanted to talk nukes over a burger (https://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/donald-trump-north-korea-nukes-224385) with the North Korean leader.

Nothing significant will be any different on June 13th. North Korea will not give up their nuclear program- not when it gets them the respect they have been looking for. US won't withdraw all the troops (if any) from South Korea. North and South may start to allow some people to cross the border.

If it was not for the North Korea nuke mountain collapse I could go either way between Zippy and what was posted above. But considering they might be in a desperate situation in needing of help and to head off tensions prior to everyone having a fit when radiation readings climb as a result, I am thinking a major change towards peace.

[Swordsmyth]

Speaking on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan on May 13, Pompeo said the United States would not be willing to invest taxpayer dollars to help the communist state, but was willing to “lift sanctions” as a prelude for private American investment in North Korea’s energy, agriculture, and infrastructure sectors.
Pompeo told Brennan: “What Chairman Kim will get from America is our finest, our entrepreneurs, our risk takers, our capital providers, not [aid from] our taxpayers.”
Brennan then asked, “That sounds like sanctions relief to make it possible for a company to invest directly in North Korea. When would you do that?”
Pompeo replied: “Ma’am, if we get denuclearization, of course there will be sanctions relief, certainly. There will be more than that.”
The success of the Trump-Kim meeting may well depend on whether Kim now regards economic prosperity as more important than adhering to steadfast communist philosophy.

On June 25, 1950, the Korean War began when some 75,000 soldiers from the North Korean People’s Army poured across the 38th parallel, the boundary between the Soviet-backed Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to the north and the pro-Western Republic of Korea to the south. This invasion was the first military action of the Cold War. By July, American troops had entered the war on South Korea’s behalf. As far as American officials were concerned, it was a war against the forces of international communism itself.https://www.history.com/topics/korean-war

North Korea vows to abandon nuclear weapons project


Cautious welcome by Bush for road map deal

Aid and US promise not to invade seals agreement

North Korea has agreed in principle to end its nuclear weapons programme and rejoin the international non-proliferation treaty, marking the biggest breakthrough in its three-year stand-off with the US.

Under a draft accord issued by North Korea and five other countries in Beijing yesterday, the reclusive state promised to give up its main bargaining chip in return for energy, economic aid and a US promise not to attack.

President George Bush yesterday gave the agreement a cautious welcome. "Five nations have spoken and said it's not in the world's interest that North Korea have a nuclear weapon, and now there's a way forward," he said after a national security council meeting at the White House.

"It's a step forward in making the world a more secure place. The question is - over time will all parties adhere to the agreement?"

Among the details yet to be hammered out are monitoring and aid payments, as well as the vexed question of whether North Korea can build a lightwater reactor to ease its chronic power shortages.

Although vaguely worded, the joint statement issued by negotiators from the US, North Korea and four other regional players - China, South Korea, Japan and Russia - is seen as a road map towards the denuclearisation of the peninsula.

North Korea said it was "committed to abandoning all nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programmes and returning at an early date" to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and the safeguard system established by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

In return, Washington pledged to respect North Korea's sovereignty and take steps to normalise relations. "The United States affirmed that it has no nuclear weapons on the Korean peninsula and has no intention to attack or invade with nuclear or conventional weapons," the statement read

Read my post. The agreement included China, South Korea, Japan, and Russia besides the US. China was definitely on board.

So who are "deep state"? Bankers like Goldman Sachs? Military generals? CEO's? State governors and other politicians? CIA? Trump's cabinet is full of those people.

Then why didn't it happen, zippy?

My point is there was NO mutual agreement between all countries that could have been made before Trump (otherwise it would have). The deep state was preventing that from happening, they wanted too much control.

Trump came in and said, hey China, you fucking take care of this mess, we want out. China was like, "Uhhh, ok, are you sure??" and Trump was like, "Fuck ya, you have at 'em". And that was the mutually agreeable solution. Before that, the deep state would not allow that to occur, and no agreeable solution would have ever been made.

There was an agreement. Korea didn't abide it. And that wasn't the only agreement they made. They also agreed to end their nuke program in agreements signed with Clinton. It was violated too. But Trump wants a deal- any deal- so he can claim credit and take a victory lap.

Russia’s plans to extend the Trans-Siberian railway through North Korea to South Korea is facing a major geopolitical hurdle.
This project is a non-starter as long as the Korean War remains unfinished. Moscow’s plans of linking the two parts of the divided peninsula with railway, natural gas, and electricity lines is nothing but a pipe dream.

NBA star turned Kim Jong Un soulmate Dennis Rodman will be in Singapore during President Trump’s summit with the North Korean dictator next week, The Post has learned.
“The Worm” will arrive in the country a day before the June 12 sitdown — and sources said he could even play some sort of role in the negotiations.
“No matter what you might think about his presence. One thing’s for sure the ratings will be huge,” a source said. “A lot of times in situations that involve complex diplomacy countries like to identify ambassadors of goodwill and whether you agree with it or not Dennis Rodman fits the bill.”

How is Donald Trump preparing for the huge North Korea summit? He's not.

In five days' time, President Donald Trump will travel to Singapore to participate in history: He will become the first American president to meet with a sitting North Korean leader.

Trump's summit with Kim Jong Un is a massive moment -- not just in Trump's presidency but in the course of diplomacy for potentially decades to come. North Korea has been a rogue and aggressive presence on the Korean peninsula for decades, but its acquisition of nuclear weapons makes it a worldwide problem.

How is Trump preparing for this huge sit-down? He isn't.

"I think I'm very well-prepared," Trump told reporters during a photo op with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday. "I don't think I have to prepare very much. It's about attitude."

It's about attitude. If you were looking for a perfect three-word summary of Trump's political life -- or, actually, just his plain old life -- that's about as close as you could come to nailing it.

Whether it's making a real estate deal, starring in a reality TV show, kicking off his presidential bid or actually being President, Trump's basic view is: "I've got this."
Trump has turned his belief in himself -- whether or not facts support that confidence -- into a life mantra.

"Develop your gut instincts and act on them," he tweeted in 2013. "You will have your biggest successes when you go with your gut--but be very smart & careful."

In 2014, he sounded a similar note: "Trust your instincts. They are there for a reason. Without instincts, you'll have a hard time getting to--and staying at--the top."

His 2016 presidential campaign was Trump's ultimate experiment in faking it until you make it. He eschewed policy briefings or any sort of traditional debate prep. As a result, there were moments during the campaign when it was clear that Trump had zero idea what he was talking about.

On Tuesday the NY Post (https://nypost.com/2018/06/05/dennis-rodman-will-be-in-singapore-for-trump-kim-summit/)caused a mini meltdown in diplomatic circle when it reported that Kim Jong-Un's basketball bff (bbff?) Dennis Rodman will be present in Singapore on June 12 for the Trump-Kim summit.

The report triggered (http://dailycaller.com/2018/06/06/chelsea-handler-trump-attack/)proud "resistance" comedian Chelsea Handler who tweeted to her millions of followers that “Dennis Rodman will be in Singapore during the Trump-Kim summit. Just like a Obama, a black man will do all the work and Trump will try and take credit for it. Hey, Dennisrodman take a knee and see what happens."
Meanwhile, Rodman’s agent denied (http://redirect.viglink.com/?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_152837927378013&key=e7609c039c08d3ae00aebd97e6f0bffd&libId=ji4l60g9010110e3000DA6vd5kkh5yc2z&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fdailycaller.com%2F2018%2F06%2F06% 2Fchelsea-handler-trump-attack%2F&v=1&out=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2018%2F06%2F06%2Fp olitics%2Fdennis-rodman-singapore-trump-summit%2Findex.html&title=Chelsea%20Handler%E2%80%99s%20Latest%20Attac k%20On%20Trump%20Might%20Be%20The%20Most%20Absurd% 20Yet%20%7C%20The%20Daily%20Caller&txt=Rodman%E2%80%99s%20agent%20)that the Post report was true, saying that “no plans or flights have been made yet.”
Well, it appears that - shockingly - the NY Post was wrong, because on Thursday morning White House deputy press secretary Hoan Gidley told Fox News he rejects the idea of Dennis Rodman joining Trump and Kim for denuke talks.
"I don't know what part the best rebounder in basketball has to play in that. He is great on the court but negotiations should best be left to those who are good at it. ... Trump is the best."

Nothing significant will be any different on June 13th. North Korea will not give up their nuclear program- not when it gets them the respect they have been looking for. US won't withdraw all the troops (if any) from South Korea. North and South may start to allow some people to cross the border.

Only thing actually different today is that Trump is calling off military exercises near Korea. No other details have been achieved beyond a list of goals. Trump did say he would not ease up on any sanctions and he would not be removing any troops (that is in the "maybe in the future" category though). A non-binding list of goals but no details of how to achieve them was signed. Dennis Rodman cried.

Will it be a better deal than the Iran deal he is so critical of? So far, there is no actual deal so hard to say.


"I mean, I may stand before you in six months and say, 'Hey, I was wrong.' I don't know that I'll ever admit that, but I'll find some kind of an excuse."

The Trump cancellation letter was pretty obvious he was using it as leverage, so many people couldn't see through it but this guy is pretty predictable once you've read the art of the deal or analyzed some of his plays.

After all of this has taken place in Singapore, I'm thinking the cancellation letter and N.Korea coming back to the table was all theatrics since at that point delegates have already been in communication and meeting in person.

Singapore shelled out $15 million for the Trump-Kim summit. Some question that expense



Singapore not only played host to U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's summit on June 12, but the country also shelled out $15 million for the event.
Singapore's prime minister said the Southeast Asian nation was willing to bear the cost "for a good cause."
The money went into security, operations and the luxury hotel stay for the North Korean contingent.



The tiny island-state of Singapore in Southeast Asia not only hosted the historic meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Tuesday, but the wealthy country also racked up a 20 million-Singapore-dollar ($15 million) bill.
"It is a cost we are willing to pay," Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong told local press on Sunday.
The summit would prove to be a positive for Singapore, Lee said, in terms of the country's reputation, standing and "how people look at us."

"It gives us publicity. The fact that we have been chosen as the site of the meeting — we did not ask for it, but we were asked and we agreed — says something about Singapore's relations with the parties, with America, with North Korea, also our standing in the international community," he added.
Singapore is one of the few countries in the world that has relationships with both the U.S. and North Korea.
