Perhaps you might have some useful tips for him. Yes, around 30 years ago, myself and a good friend walked the line of the Wall, although most of it has been robbed of stone. We travelled east to west, from Wallsend, to Bowness-on Solway, a distance of some eighty miles. We used both a tent, and bed and breakfast facilities. It took 12 days, but that included such places as sites, and museums. I have always vowed that I would do it again one day, but it never happened. Too unfit now sadly. 1

Baffled, makes no sense for Kim to do this at all, he should be carrying on talking and waiting for another Obama type President in the Whitehouse. Because whilst Kim has been demolishing buildings at his nuclear site (confirmed by us intelligence), the US and South Korea thought it was a good time to start military drills again.

You told us that KJU had got everything he wanted without giving up a thing? Now you're telling us that N Korea has destroyed it's testing facilities and America hasn't given anything up? Has Trump out thought KJU?

So the thing that the Koreans are blaming for talks stalling? Which actions of repproachment over the past few weeks have been as a direct result of something Trump has done rather than what Kim has done?

You were delighted when you kidded yourself into believing that N Korea had tricked America into giving something up, based on nothing but prejudice it seems to me. Now N.K has destroyed it's testing facilities you're saying how terrible it is that America has tricked N.K, threatening a peace process that you never believed in anyway.
Guest MattP Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 (edited) Kim gets the deal of the century -- genius, totally outsmarted Trump. Kim withdraws from deal of century - genius, totally outsmarted Trump. Not too obvious guys. What next? Kim assassinated, totally outsmarted Trump? Edited 15 May 2018 by MattP

Sorry, missed this. Friendly Ram definitely, a couple of others probably. Not you though, you've made it clear you want peace whatever from the start pretty much, even if the Donald is a part of it.

At what point did America trick them? I don't recall any promises about no military drills being made?

I'd stick to posting Guardian articles you don't understand if I were you. You're not really up to intelligent argument. Facts change. Kim was moving towards meeting with Trump far more quickly than I'd expected. I'm not sure why you're so desperate to give Trump credit for things he hasn't done.I'm not criticising him, nor giving him credit at this stage. If he gets to meet Kim and they agree something worthwhile and lasting then I'll give him credit for that. In the meantime, Kim is the only one of the two who had really done anything in recent weeks. He agreed with Moon that neither side would do anything provocative during this period. Moon and Trump have then carried on wargaming. I'm critical as that wargaming has always been called a provocation by the north. If it scuppers talks then it clearly wouldn't be Kim to blame. I can't work out which part of this is confusing you. Edited 16 May 2018 by Guest
