#2 Ron Paul Institute is a mental ward, isn't it?

#3 Ron Paul Institute is a mental ward, isn't it?

Yes, but a bit smallish compared to the UN.

#4 Seems like the North are trying to drive a wedge between South Korea and US and Haley doesn't want to let off the current pressure as it might be working.

#5 The South has a long history of bending over and spreading for the North.

#6 Don't be such h8ters! Sure, Pudge has cheated or reneged on every deal he has ever made, but *this* time Lucy will let Charlie Brown kick the football. No, really. I mean it. This is my sincere face!

#7 Chinas troop movements are also spurring him to act.

#8 The interdiction of oil shipments sent from Russia and China to North Korea probably also has him a bit concerned.

#9 Oil interdictions are biting, and the ship to ship cheating has been made public, further limiting the sheer volume of cheating that can be done. He is spending whatever cash his drug-running and counterfeiting brings in for the missile programs to the point that his front-line, elite, border troops are starving, parasite riddled and now deserting. The soft tummy rub opening is meant to buy time, and Trump needed to let the SKORs have the Olympics. Had the threat now been postponed, a lot of people wouldn't come and Seoul would lokk very bad. Sadly, in the middle of the Olympics, look for a Nork power display since they are a one-trick pony ....for the last 60 years. As an aside, why is the USS Pueblo still floating? Surely its sinking might make a point since it is after all, our property

#10 The current ROK leader is Walter Chamberlain on steroids. How is it a surprise that he's looking for an excuse to cave?

#11 Not Walter - Neville.

#12 Was there in '88 for the Summer Olympics. Semi-confinded to camp, no exercises or major movements in order to avoid upsetting the 'guests'. Could go to the events, but only in civies.

#13 Still a better place we were in 2 years ago. Now everyone just realizes the threat.

We will see what happens in these talks on the 9th.
