Gameface, maybe i do not remember my history classes correctly, but almost every POTUS has been somewhat friendly to Soviet Union leaders? Or was it wrong that Reagan started to remove the Iron Curtain with Gorbachov? Why is the "friendship" between Trump and Kim considered worse compared to friendship between Eisenhower and Stalin?
I hope that someday the NK foodchain (big NK elitist group who enjoy the profits of the "free" camp labor like we had during the Soviet Union - if you were a high ranking member of communist party + a KGB snitch then you had problems getting better apartment, food and trips to foreign countries) is destroyed and NK and SK unite.
I think, that China is actually not happy at all should that happen.
Yep. Definitely comparable. I remember when:
Reagan: “So then Gorbachov sent me a beautiful letter. A love letter! Saying nice things about me. Many nice things. I know you don’t hear many nice things about me because of the media the fake news media CNN and The NY Times the enemy of the people who lie about me colluding with Iran which is fake news you know who really colluded with Iran? Walter Mondale and the FBI and their gang of angry democrats colluded with Iran and everyone thought Mondale would win all the polls said he’d win but we won.
So we sent love letters and me and Gorbachov fell in love! We fell in love!
It would be an honor to meet with him at the Berlin Wall. Can I shake his hand?”
#1 No past president has pandered to a dictator, like trump is doing on a regular basis. In just the past 72 hours trump has:
A. Made a joke out of Putin’s election interference.
B. Threw our intelligence community under the bus by again denying that MBS killed journalist Jamaal Kashoggi.
C. Accomplished zero with China. Indications are they’re holding firm against us in the trade war.
D. Giving Kim propaganda for his people to consume while accomplishing zero for our safety.
Let’s analyze what Trump has said recently about Kim, shall we?
He said that he and Kim were, “Falling in love.” He’s called him a “great leader.” He even expressed a desire to run the USA like Kim does NK.
That’s ****ing insane. Republicans would’ve impeached Obama in the afternoon and lynched Him before the senate could convict by dinner if he had done something similar.
If you think Trump’s pandering is anywhere in the same solar system as Kennedy and Kruschev or Reagan and Gorbachov, then you’re hopelessly lost.
#2 Previous presidents used these meetings to promote an agenda that benefitted the United States. How have these meetings benefited us? We’re on what... our third Kim/Donald date, and what has been accomplished?
So no... the comparisons of Trump getting on all 4s and opening up wide for Kim isn’t even close to Reagan and Gorbachev negotiating for the INF Treaty (something trump has now trashed, to Putin’s delight).
