    We don't seem to see a lot of military people that have been asked to do so campaigning to do it again.

    I think this is the only way to keep Kim Jong un on diet. Why is the US not sending Jenny Craig food to him? My wife says it really works.

    He should have cooperated with Trump when he had the chance. He blew it.

    Commusm proved it can cause the famine. It caused famine in 30ties in Ukraine and in 50ties in China.

    He can fix this fairly quickly. Sorry but if his people put up with this ****, I have no sympathy for them.

    Trump didn't blow it, the neo con John Bolton did. He was sent to finish off the agreement and he mentioned to Kim the agreement Washington had with Ghaddafy - when the one thing Kim feared more than anything, was that if he gave up his nukes he would end up like Ghadaffy. Seems it was deliberate. Did he say it to break the deal on his own, or did Trump tell him to say it - which I doubt?

    Russia had a road map on how Kim could give up his nukes while at the same time S. Korea would remove its missiles. Russia gave its guarantee to protect N. Korea militarily, and China and Germany were on board with the agreement.

    Kim was seriously considering it, but I don't think the US was willing to disarm S. Korea since its main objective is not N. Korea, but to surround Russia. Moscow's main port where it ships its wheat and liquid gas is Vladisvostok and it's less than 100 miles from the border of N. Korea, so any threat to N. Korea is a threat to them.

    Russia also tried to unite the two Korea's with a train route that would carry goods through both countries and benefit both, but that would be impossible if South Korea continues to be armed.

    Climate causes famines as well as sanctions from Washington and also threats on any country that breaks the sanctions. About three weeks ago we attacked a tanker that was delivering oil to N. Korea for fear they might not starve.

    It reminds me of our concern at the UN towards the Syrian people, while at the same time stealing their oil, stealing over a million sheep and burning their wheat fields.

    We attacked a tanker?

    Is that what the Russian propaganda you like to pretend is real news told you?

    You are right, the Communism is not the only reason of the famine. The sanctions usually give the sanctioned country an option, give up something or starve your population (except of the ruling elite of course). North Korea can avoid famine by giving up the nuclear arms, but without the nuclear arms the ruling elite can lose power.

    Whatever we did, we stopped the tanker from delivering oil. Obviously you're not paying much attention to what's going on in the world. Didn't we stop tankers to Venezuela? Also haven't the Russians been escorting the Iranian tankers from the Suez to Syria?

    I love your post! You know that it was not Trump, but John Bolton fault that North Korea did not give the nuclear arms, because Fat Kim didn't know what happened to Qadaffi and he didn't know that Russia gave Ukraine guaranty to protect Ukraine borders.

    What Kim sees is that Ghadaffy trusted the US and didn't develop nuclear arms. He doesn't want to end up that way, would you?

    As for ruling elite, the only ruling elite are those who will bully and threaten other nations and not respect their sovereignty. Those are mafia tactics, are you proud of these things? I'm not!

    How dare you not do what we say,
    for we will always get our way

    with sanctions, lies,
    that's how we play

    while basking in hypocrisy
    and calling it democracy - Jeannette

    I tried to give an informative and in-depth analysis. I guess you have a comprehension problem?

    I know that some are not a sage
    and like to spit out fits and rage.
    Which makes one think that 'simple' rules.

    Or else, why do they act like fools? - Jeannette

    I don't know. Did we and are they? Whatever is happening, it doesn't seem to be making the news. It wouldn't surprise me if Russia is escorting Iranian tankers, though. They seem eager to pretend they're a superpower again.

    What is it about: 'He doesn't want to die', that you don't understand? The nukes are his only security.

    He hasn't had nukes all that long and he somehow survived till he did. Nukes are not keeping him alive or NK secure.

    Kim feels they are, otherwise there would be no reason for him to have nukes. Kim believes that if Ghadaffy had nukes, he would still be alive.

    You have to face the facts that no one trusts anything we say. Those glory days are gone forever.

    What we were once,
    we've ceased to be,
    for times have changed now,
    can't you see?

    The flag that once
    waved high and true
    is now all worn,
    forlorn and blue.

    It mourns for days
    when we had pride

    of noble words and not of lies. - Jeannette
