There was a goddamn superslam of a question towards the end, I can't remember the exact wording but it was something along the lines of "in 2000, when KJI requested a meeting, President Clinton refused to go himself and sent Madeline Albright instead. Now, Un has made a request and you've come yourself. Do you think this could be seen to be legitimising a regime which is oppressing its people?"

He just went "actually I think I understand that better than you do." and jumped straight to the next question.

I mean, good in that we didn't start / vow nuclear war during or immediately after.

Other than that I can't see anything that happened that actually benefits us. We make SK look bad, cancel exercises, give NK prestige and a political win to help stabilize their government and we get in return "I trust Kim and he made some promises".

Trump told the 100% truth about something.

Trump would make a great 30 year Army reserve E5 mechanic (primary MOS fueler) with a dead man's profile. The guy who always volunteers to drive in the tactical vehicle convoy from the reserve center to whichever base the FTX is at so he can stash a cooler full of mountain dew and coors and is always conspicuously missing from the zero range. But he always turns up at the last minute and asks to use your weapon for IWQ because the armorer is working on his.

While this likely won't end in a US forever war, the thing in Yemen is about to eclipse both Iraq and Afghanistan in how horrible it is.

First up, you have the war parties bomb the sanitary and medical facilities, and impose a blockade on a country that imports about 90% of it's food. As a result of drinking unclean water, having little access to medicine and being weakened by famine, Cholera is rampant in the country. What do the benign and wise rulers of the Coalition decide to do?

Why, bombing a Cholera treatment facility!

https://twitter.com/msf_yemen/statu...om%2Flarison%2F


What's next? How about attacking/besieging the by far most important port left, to max human suffering in Yemen? The Coalition might be about to do just that:

https://www.rescue.org/press-release/yemen-imminent-attack-port-city-will-lead-catastrophic-humanitarian-disaster

quote:

Yemen: imminent attack on port city will lead to catastrophic humanitarian disaster

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is alarmed that fighting between warring parties in Yemen’s main port city of Hodeidah appears to be only days away. The city and its residents are running out of time and cannot afford to wait for a country wide solution. The IRC calls on all parties to the conflict to ensure the port remains operational and innocent lives are spared.

Yemen’s civil war, considered the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, is now in its fourth year and shows no sign of abating. More than 22 million innocent Yemeni civilians are in need of humanitarian aid and 17 million people are food insecure. The country relies on the port of Hodeidah for 90% of its imports and for critical, life-saving aid. An attack or besiegement of the port, and on its 400,000 civilian residents, would have catastrophic consequences. Immediate action is required from all parties to the conflict and the wider international community to deliver an inclusive political solution and put an end to the conflict.

“The port of Hodeidah is a humanitarian lifeline for the people of Yemen,” said David Miliband, President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee. “It is imperative that humanitarian supplies are maintained. We repeat, again, that an assault on Hodeidah is a grave threat to life and livelihood. We urge the UN Security Council to meet today to demand immediate assurances to maintain this critical facility.”

During the first three months of 2018, Hodeidah was estimated to account for more food imports than the next three largest seaports combined. These other ports are unable to handle similar import volumes. In a context where current levels of food and fuel imports into Yemen are already insufficient to meet the basic needs of the population, there is no viable alternative to replace Hodeidah if it is closed by conflict or suffers significant damage due to fighting or scorched earth tactics by a retreating military.

Hodeidah is a living community of 400,000 people, including IRC staff working on critical, life-saving health and clean water and sanitation projects. Some residents have already left the city, others cannot afford to do so. These people have no option but to wait and see how events outside their control play out.

Beyond the very real and very dire humanitarian impacts, the political implications would be severe. For the first time in recent memory, there is a glimmer of hope for a meaningful peace process: UN special representative Martin Griffiths is due to unveil a peace framework, and military action would extinguish any hope for a political process to take root. A peace agreement between warring parties is the only hope for an end to the suffering of the Yemeni people.

The international community must use all leverage to urge all parties to show restraint and keep the space open for a political path forward. The port of Hodeidah must remain operational and undamaged, and parties to the conflict have a moral and legal obligation to ensure that not a single innocent civilian life is lost during military action.
