Trump has invested so much in making like he's the bigliest deal maker and Nobel peace prize guy that now he's over a barrel and gotta give away everything. If it falls through he looks like the biggest punk bitch that ever put a blue shirt on.

Only to us. He would spin it to his base as 'Big Man Trump wouldn't let Little Kim boss him around, that's why the deal fell through!"

So the North Koreans get to keep short range nuclear weapons with no oversight while the US reduces its forces on the Korean peninsula?

What a deal.

Honestly it sounds like the background for Command & Conquer: Korea.

The deal is signed, the last transport of American troops is wheels up and headed out, the ground starts shaking, a dust cloud rises and...

The problem is that everyone is babbling.

Trump has no idea what the gently caress (we're pulling out, we're not pulling out, ESCALATE!), SecState is randomly saying poo poo, NSC head is randomly saying poo poo. Nobody's on the same page because everyone is winging it and there's no communications strategy.

That general tweetlist is essentially what everyone has been saying out loud. Nobody knows what the gently caress the details are actually going to be at the end, or if Donnie gets in a mood and just bolts from the meeting.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

My reading about Sadr is that hes actually a pretty OK candidate as far as Iraqi independence from foreign influence is concerned. With any luck he'll hedge back some of the influence Iran has been exerting over the Shia population and maybe, somehow keep the entire country from literally fragmenting.


I doubt it though.

Gonna laugh so hard if North Korean 'space launch' activities get left out/exempted, and the USFK withdraw specifically includes pulling out THAAD to placate the Chinese.

He had support from Iran and actually went into exile there for a little bit, didn't he? Maybe I'm misremembering but wasnt the Madhi Army, his militia, getting significant support from the Iranians?

The IRGC funded, funneled arms to, and trained a lot of Shiite militias during OIF.

Edit. Wow. Good article from The Atlantic shows he has radically changed his views. We still should've killed him in 2004 though. gently caress that guy.

So the best we can hope for is that Al-Sadr becomes a totalitarian strongman who crushes dissent with a heavy hand but is nominally allied with us as a firestop against Iran?

Something very familiar about of all this.

It's extremely loving stupid since the great risk from NK has always been them tossing a nuke at Japan, or SK, or our troops in SK.

Yes, but you see if he gets rid of the ICBM's then NK can't threaten the US, which completely solves the problem of NK if you're a chud.

If he's able to stave off ISIS regaining actual territory than at this point who gives a poo poo. I want American troops out of Iraq so it's not a launching point for Iran and because I'm so sick of us beinf at war in the middle East. We have hosed up that entire region so bad.
