    kim Jin un is ready to speak with Trump and our allies within the UN Security Council New York to discuss dismantling the nuclear program and ending the Korean War.

    multiple Fake news feeds are buzzing with different versions of the news....

    but BBC has picked up the feed as well as Reuters and NHK Tokyo.

    Q & D1 - I'm sure Obama is behind the scenes arranging this.

    WINNING - ISIS not chopping off heads, burning people in cages any longer and run out of Syria & Iraq.

    N Korea finally willing to give up nuclear program like about 5x before, only difference being that Trump will not take a deal as stupid as his predecessors - VERIFICATION OF DISMANTLING OF PROGRAM WILL BE MANDATORY IN ANY DEAL WITH THE BOSS. 

    Wait til he get Israel & Palestinians to hug it out...

    How's that Russian investigation going - any day now huh?

    Yeah this is legit...

    Come on! Are we brainless like many Trump voters or are we smart and know that North Korea will say and do anything knowing they have no obligation to perform ANY agreement at all. 

    This is comical and lame.

    Wall do you really believe Trump will get suckered into a deal with no verification? That's not going to happen. He's not a fool like the last 3 Prezs giving them $billions to fund a nuclear/missile program. 

    I'm sure the Dems are disappointed that he didn't nuke Guam or South Korea just so they could blame Trump. It's going to be hard to spin this one.

    Being one of the few true  independents in this forum let me just say that peace talks are never a bad thing. Give the man some semblance of credit without a "yeah, but..." A few weeks ago everyone was so sure he was driving us straight towards a nuclear war. Now all of a sudden...
    Not a fan of the tax scam. Not a fan of bank deregulation. Not a fan on his stance on the environment. I hate that he's opening up public lands to private investment but what truly negative can be said about this?

    Wallstreet’s hatred for Trump is entertaining to watch. This is great material to bump in the future.

    Yeah of course Trump has zero experience with political interactions and there is nothing, not a single thing to force NK to uphold any agreement they make. I do not trust their leaders at all, they are atrocious dictators and I am 100% positive if they make an agreement it is worth less than the 13% notes Trump floated for his BK company in the 90's.

    Come on! Are we brainless like many Trump voters or are we smart and know that North Korea will say and do anything knowing they have no obligation to perform ANY agreement at all. 

    This is comical and lame.

    and how much cash did our former president sneak to Iran in the middle of the night ? This is how we MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

    If these talks work the world will be so much safer. 

    The Middle East will sit up and take notice.

    Oh no, Trump is going to war with North Korea. We should try diplomacy— Everyone in DC for the past 6 months.

    Oh no, Trump is going to talk to North Korea—Everyone in DC tonight.

    Although I'm thrilled you're the voice of reason now, I'd love to see what you would say about Trump if you didn't have that epiphany. There's no logical point to be made from the left based on the results that are staring them in the fade. Economy check, ISIS check, Tax Cuts check, extreme sanctions on N Korea is killing them check. 

    They believe there's going to be a blue wave in November (purely on historical results), please someone tell me what they stand for that's popular? Other than anti-Trump, he colluded with Russia, some bs with a porn star that means absolutely nothing when he very well may've stopped a nuclear showdown nearly singlehandedly. The reason the party that's out of power always won seats was because the POTUS never did a fkn thing he said he'd do. You just can't make that argument with Trump. He would've swept the board if that turncoat McCain didn't stab us all in the back regarding that bs health plan that's imploding on it's own.

    I’m all for peaceful resolution to the Korean War this conflict has been waging since 1950’s we have spent a fortune guarding the south. He did something different then 70 years of diplomatic work. But there is a long way to go before we have a stable peninsula . One baby step nice but let’s see how it all turns out.

    If you aren’t watching CNN pundits trying to explain how the worst president of all time might denuclearize North Korea in his 2nd year, you’re missing the show of the year.

    Business Insider  Monday March 5, 2018 
    • The US Navy made history on Monday by putting to sea for the first time an aircraft carrier with F-35B jets and by deploying them in the Pacific.
    • China has been asserting its power in the region, but the F-35 poses real problems for Beijing's newly-built defenses, and signals the US's intention to not back down.
    • The US has developed a new set of tactics to make the most of the F-35B's vertical landing-and -takeoff abilities, which make it perfect to dominate the Pacific.

    The US Navy made history on Monday by putting to sea for the first time ever an aircraft carrier with F-35B jets.  And by deploying them in the Pacific, it's a message China and North Korea are sure to hear loud and clear.

    The US Marine Corps's Fighter Attack Squadron 121 deployed aboard the USS Wasp, a smaller-deck aircraft carrier that used to operate harrier jump jets and helicopters before getting special modifications to field the F-35.

    "This is a historic deployment," said Col. Tye R. Wallace, 31st MEU Commanding Officer in a US Navy press release. "The F-35B is the most capable aircraft ever to support a Marine rifleman on the ground."

    The deployment marks the culmination of years of planing. Since its inception, the F-35 has been designed with the idea of accommodating short takeoff, vertical landing variants. Initially, the design compromises forced by the massive tail fan and unique capabilities caused complications, compromises, and long and expensive delays.

    But the US has still beaten China, Russia, and the entire world to the punch with a navalized stealth fighter that can fight for air superiority, pull off precision strikes, penetrate enemy airspaces, and coordinate with the two US Navy guided-missile destroyers to guide ship-fired missiles to targets ashore.

    The squadron aboard the Wasp has also trained heavily on a new set of tactics meant to keep the US dominant in the Pacific region. Leveraging the short-takeoff, vertical landing ability of the F-35B, the pilots and maintainers drilled on setting up improvised refuel and reloading points, and how to quickly restock the jet for battle much like mechanics perform pit stops during NASCAR races.

    Additionally, the F-35B has the option of equipping a gun and opening it up as a close-air-support platform to support Marines making a beach landing.

    The result is a stealth fighter/bomber/reconnaissance jet well suited to the Asia-Pacific region, which US adversaries like China and North Korea will be sure to recognize.

    "You're about to put for the first time ever fifth-generation fighters on a ship at sea and put it into a highly contested area that is fraught with geopolitical risk and controversy and tensions," retired US Marine Corps Lt. Col. David Berke, a former F-35B squadron commander, previously told Business Insider.

    "The implications of a fifth-generation airplane being in [the Pacific] is impossible to overstate," he added. "They're going to provide capability that nobody knows exists yet."

    As Beijing pushes on with its massive land grab in the South China Sea by militarizing artificial islands, intruding in territorial waters of its neighbors, and performing increasingly aggressive fighter jet drills around the Pacific, the F-35B deployment gives the US an advantage in terms of air power at sea.

    China has struggled to field its own stealth jets that many see as an answer to US air power in the region.

    North Korea, not a powerful nation in terms of air power, will now feel the added pressure of stealth jets it cannot track sitting near its shores in Okinawa or on deployment around the region.

    Being annexed to China as part of a greater Chinese mainland could be driving Kim up to work out more favorable to its South Korean ties.

    interesting to watch a South Korean expert on the north take. She stated “The north has excellent negotiator he wants everything and wants to give nothing in return.” We need some of them for a change
