He expresses himself well without going full retard like Gator, Gary, Grant, etc. Appreciate the class. Unlike others in this space who don't know what it is let alone possess any of it.

I'm not exactly a ceremonial person, either - I'm probably the least ceremonial person you'll ever meet. But meetings like this are highly scripted and planned, because every gesture and word carries great weight. It's basically a very specialized jargon, in which Trump subordinated the US to Un and the DPRK. Is that over-interpretation? Yes...to us. Less so to the people around the world that deal with foreign policy issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't speak for why anyone else who may be offended. I've stated why I'm offended as have the veterans in my family. If you and others can't see how that's possible, it's no skin off my back and we certainly don't have to qualify that viewpoint to anyone thinking it's just more liberal outrage. What are your opinions of Vietnam, Germany, Italy and Japan? Arw you ss offended by out countrys relationship with them as well? Just curious.....

No. And I’m not going to get into the weeds explaining why the four countries you listed are totally false equivalencies. Besides, my issue isn’t the relationship we are trying to establish with a country we are still technically at war with, that’s a positive thing. it’s the rhetoric our president sought fit to use while “joking” about how he wished he had the same level of respect from his people as that of a murderous dictator. Hope that clarifies it. I’ve got nothing more to add on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, as I said, it’s a positive that we are AGAIN seeking to establish better relations. My entire dissatisfaction lies in what the president said yesterday morning. Period. Have someone else explain to you the false equivalency you draw between N Korea and the other countries you cited and WHY. The rest of your post simply isn’t worth responding to.
