    When you are considered the grandson of God in your country, you probably don't think of such things.

    I don't believe the Trump / Kim summit is going to happen. Kim is going to make some demand which will not be met and that will give him cover for refusing to meet.

    How the US media spins it will be quite predictable.

    I see things differently. Let's see how it works out.

    The Norks are trying a Sun-Tzuian tactic of separating allies from each other. Let's see if it works.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Saying that he's not an idiot doesn't mean he's highly intelligent. He tried to cause trouble with a super power headed by President Trump which was not very smart. So look where he is now with his big "rocket-man" ambitions not even supported by China. And the sanctions against him are suffocating him. But he's not an idiot, no, he's just not very smart.

    Kim is out of his element when in meetings and negotiations with the leaders of the world's economic powers. While he might not be an idiot in the clinical sense, he's certainly not a man who can sit with foreign leaders and negotiate or discuss issues on that level. He has no expertise in anything other than demagoguery and hyperbole.


    Kim knows this and the best thing he could do for himself is to back out of the the summit. He could then at least save a little face with his own people. He's like a mediocre flyweight boxer stepping in against the heavyweight champion.

    Why release the hostages as a sign of good faith then?

    To stall. He can claim that he made a huge concession.
