Kim Jong-un commits to 'complete de-nuclearization' in historic agreement with Trump

Eagle Eye said:
The major problem with Trump is he is not a politician like past presidents. And he is sorely lacking in diplomatic skills. But no one can say he doesn't want the best for this country.

I can say it, because he isn’t informed enough to know at times what is right for the country. He could not give you details on any of the issues. This is a very sad fact and I pray it doesn’t do lasting damage.

It’s certainly is historic and Trump deserves praise for his efforts at this point. One of the major problems I had with the neocons was their policy of unilateralism was grossly incompetent. It took a very messed up region of the world and made a cluster fuck out of already bad situation. So in the case of his engaging NK he deserves praise.

Conversely his behavior towards our G7 and NATO Allies last week was embarrassing and deeply disturbing. A key factor of the PAX Americana of the last 73 years has been that alliance. To jeopardize that relationship due to a trade dispute is risky as hell and he deserves criticism for his behavior.

all parties at the G7 did endorse mutual security.
The hard ball is over trade, but that does not effect security agreements

They certainly are. Unlike Iran they actually have nuclear weapons, are politically unstable and have a brutal Stalinist regime willing to use them. They also have a very large and strong military force where as Iran's is so weak they can't even handle a military pip squeek like Israel.

Which is completely irrelevent as no one in their right mind wants either regime to have muclear arms. So enforceable and verifiable agreements that reduce or eliminate their nuclear arsenals are good ideas and diplomatic engagement to accomplish that are very, very good things. To say one agreement is good and the other lousy where one (Iran) has lived up to their agreements and the other (NK) has proven untrustworthy in the past. So to make the distinction that Iran is bad and NK good when there isn't even an actual agreement in place is simply partisan political hackery.

Iran is a regional military powerhouse.They are in Syria/Lebanon/Iraq and use proxies in Yemen. The y have a sophistical missile and drone program as well
 
Lil' Kim's agreement was " to work towards denuclearization".

Historically NK timelines to work towards something involve many decades.

It is history making that a sitting president gave an murderous authoritarian dictator for life, better treatment and greater respect than our longest and most dedicated allies.
I'll give you that.

We should stop taking advice from liberals who think France is a good ally.
