Sabre rattling boosts stock prices. <br /><br />Meanwhile the two Koreas are now shaking hands. Therefore Trump says he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, even as Trump supports the destruction of Yemen, and keeps ratcheting up his war talk against Russia and Iran.Konradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739209449391854796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-6005607428057983782018-05-02T00:01:49.595-04:002018-05-02T00:01:49.595-04:00The Unz Review

We'll ...<i>Korea should be wrapped up this month</i> <br /><br />We'll see. I very much doubt that Kim will disarm unilaterally, which is what the US demands from some token "reward."<br /><br />Trump and Kim are not going to reach a final agreement. No one expects that. If neither walks, then there will be a process of drawing up an agreement acceptable to the NK, SK, the US, and Japan, that China will have to sign off on, too.<br /><br />But Trump can't depart too much from what the deep state wants or they will raise hell in the US media and pressure Congress, too, over a "sell-out."<br /><br />Bolton revealed the game. He wants it to be modeled on Libya, where the US takes out the nukes and then overthrows the leadership. Kim is not a dummy.<br /><br />It's complicated.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-28850157783658862782018-05-01T20:52:01.472-04:002018-05-01T20:52:01.472-04:00Tom,
