Maybe Mr Trump is trying this approach.

Here is a brief timeline of nuclear negotiations with NK. After you have read it perhaps you lot can suggest how Trump's meeting with Kim can solve the problem. I did not see the movie "Standing Tall" but from the sound of the title I cannot imagine what meaningful threat Trump could make to change Kim's ways.

You invaded them once already, and that achieved absolutely fuck all besides launching Alan Alda's career as an actor.

North Korea reported in the June 29 edition of the Christian Science Monitor:


North Korea says the United States has effectively declared war after US officials placed its leader Kim Jong Un on a list of sanctioned individuals who have committed human rights abuses.

Trump responded that meeting with KJu would be an honor because Kim is a clever fellow.

Does Trump have a foreign policy strategy? Does anyone know what it is?

What do you make of Trump's rhetoric and policies in East Asia?

Btw: no news (except to some Americans maybe)

North Korea unilaterally declared the armistice invalid and being in a state of war in ... 2013!

As previously pointed out we didn't invade them, they invaded S Korea




S.k. is a puppet of amerika created by amerika for amerika.
Jesus you are phoquing stupid.

and the US (and the UN) came to the rescue.

The u.n. does nothing that amerika doesn't tell them to do.

Only a communist or someone who knows nothing about history would claim we invaded them.

The chosin reservoir is damn well is in n. k. and the first marine division damn sure was there getting their asses handed to them.
1st marine division 25,000 strong 15,000 casualities 1000 body bags.

At no point during the Korean war did any any American forces ever go north of the 38th parallel, then. That's good to know.

While unknown or unreleased, up to 360,000 Chinese body bags. Handing asses to the 1st Marines seems to hurt.

Your cite claims 180,000 body bags

quote:

Before China's reform and opening up in the early 1980s, the casualty figures of Chinese troops in the Korean War had not been released.

In the 1980s, an increasingly transparent China said a total of 360,000 soldiers were killed or injured, but the number of deaths remained a mystery.

Xu said in the article that from October 1950 until July 1953, a total of 2.97 million Chinese soldiers fought in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, as it is known in China.

Your cite claims 180,000 body bags total for the whole war not for the chosin reservoir. The first marines are a regiment of the first marine division. It was the first marine division at chosin and not just the first marines, A casualty count of 60% is by definition having your ass handed to you. I never suggested that the marines did not give as good as they got. They had the high ground and were chased off of it. They were able to break out because of air superiority provided by the first marine air wing.
