Related reading, from the Daily Beast, dated 6/12/2018: Trump’s Singapore Summit Was a Bust—for the U.S.

Pastorius of Infidel Bloggers Alliance commented as follows on the above article and echoes my own thoughts on what happened in Singapore on June 12, 2018:

It seems to me this article raises some legitimate concerns.

However, the Daily Beast, and others who would criticize the Summit, certainly celebrated the last 20 years of paying off Kim in exchange for his sparkling personality.

Trump took us a step forward. This could be the beginning of a new and better era.

Or, knowing Trump, it could be the beginning of the end of Kim, IF he chooses to go the road of threats and bellicosity.

I am very ambivalent about our leaders making these kinds of statements.

On one hand, I would like us to rain fire on Kim.

On the other hand, the people of North Korea do not deserve to be punished for their leaders insanity. And the people of South Korea, and the people of Japan would likely suffer very terribly also.

If we were to rain fire on North Korea, obviously this could lead to a wider war, maybe involving China and Russia.

Do we want that?...

I wasn't going to post today until I stumbled across the following about 22-year-old University of Virginia student Otto Warmbier, brought home in a persistent vegetative state. Home six days after eighteen months of imprisonment in North Korea, Otto Warmbier died on June 19, 2017, at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
