No kidding

2018-10-26 22:57:19 UTC  

Because if they hadn't started talking with Trump the war would already have been over by now.

2018-10-26 22:57:26 UTC  

We were really, really close.

2018-10-26 22:57:34 UTC  

Like most people don't even know.

2018-10-26 22:57:35 UTC  

I honestly don;t know what goes through Kim's mind

2018-10-26 22:57:38 UTC  

We were moving munitions.

2018-10-26 22:57:50 UTC  

Like we were shipping over the bombs that we were going to kill them with.

2018-10-26 22:58:13 UTC  

But anyone could have talked to Korea. Trump wasn't unique. It could have been Bush Jr or Obama.

2018-10-26 22:58:26 UTC  

They didn't want to give Kim what he wanted

2018-10-26 22:58:30 UTC  

Pre-positioning equipment really subtly but not so subtle that the OSINT community didn't pick up on it.

2018-10-26 22:58:41 UTC  

No. Wrong.

2018-10-26 22:58:50 UTC  

Trump said he was willing to have direct talks.

2018-10-26 22:58:56 UTC  

No other president did that.

2018-10-26 22:58:57 UTC  

The movement of materials to Guam was pretty well known

2018-10-26 22:59:14 UTC  

Other presidents followed protocol

2018-10-26 22:59:18 UTC  

But no one did talk Cat, thats why Trump is unique ... you got a bad case of TDS.

2018-10-26 22:59:22 UTC  

Not Guam. Busan.

2018-10-26 22:59:23 UTC  

You meet after an agreement has been set

2018-10-26 22:59:33 UTC  

TDS?

2018-10-26 22:59:40 UTC  

TDS

2018-10-26 22:59:58 UTC  

>You meet after an agreement has been set
except that shit didn't work for Obama

2018-10-26 23:00:07 UTC  

Or Bush?

2018-10-26 23:00:11 UTC  

Or anyone

2018-10-26 23:00:25 UTC  

Only Trump said 'we can make a deal' and got talking.

2018-10-26 23:00:34 UTC  

And with Kim still developing nukes, how has it really worked for Trump?

2018-10-26 23:01:00 UTC  

He's not developing nukes because he hasn't tested the RV. His program is not making the advancements needed to be a usable arsenal.

2018-10-26 23:01:11 UTC  

If it was, we'd have to go to war.

2018-10-26 23:01:25 UTC  

And admittedly this might all fall apart.

2018-10-26 23:01:59 UTC  

But we were so fucking close to a major war and we now have a chance of averting it entirely because Trump is willing to break the rules

2018-10-26 23:02:34 UTC  

"we can't talk to him! he's a brutal dictator!"

2018-10-26 23:02:34 UTC  

Friendly reminder, the legal status of the Korean war is still a ceasefire. The US president or any other country in coalition of the Korean war ,like all other NATO countries, can bomb NK and the UN considers it a continuation of conflict.

2018-10-26 23:05:14 UTC  

As far as I'm aware wartime operational command of South Korean is still legally under the US as well, though in practice they'd probably tell us to fuck off.

2018-10-26 23:06:36 UTC  

Yep, i was informed the same

2018-10-26 23:07:54 UTC  

Legally Theresa May can bomb NK, but the coalition might not like it.

2018-10-26 23:11:24 UTC  

Well that would certainly distract from Brexit O_o

2018-10-26 23:13:46 UTC  

I picked random non US coalition member

2018-10-26 23:14:32 UTC  

I liked your choice 😃

2018-10-26 23:30:26 UTC  

... that indeed would be a great distraction from Brexit. I support this cause now.

2018-10-26 23:32:43 UTC  

You know what? I think that's the ONLY way I would support not having brexit go through.

2018-10-26 23:33:02 UTC  

Fuck me. Just watched Scott Adams coverage of the bombing suspect and all I know is I have no idea what happened lol

2018-10-26 23:33:20 UTC  

Just have her step up, "Nope, we're still in the EU until this pesky war we're in with NK is over. So all of the EU come along and join the fun!"
