Which deal is tough and awesome, which is not:  Scenario 1: Country pledges never to develop nuclear weapons. Plutonium reactor is filled with concrete, rendering it permanently inoperable. Weapons grade plutonium stocks surrendered 24 video surveillance of all mines, reactors, and research facilities Full unfettered access to IAEA inspectors on demand/ at any time. Even the harshest critics of the deal admit there has been full compliance/no cheating, but the US still leaves several sanctions in place (we essentially cheat) to wring further concessions.  Scenario 2 Country makes a vague promise to denuclearize...the same promise they have been making since 1994 and cheated on.  Their leader shakes hands with the President and smiles.  All sanctions are dropped, and the US cancels military exercises.  Well? Does VeryOld School an opinion perhaps? Bueller? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there's zero consequences for lying and you know the people you want to believe it absolutely will without question, then why not tell tons of lies? (Besides that it is not a very moral or ethical thing to do, but I think at this point with the current GOP we're way beyond any notion of "morals" or "ethics") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogofWar1 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Well at least we know they aren't lying about that war with Eastasia. Â We've always been at war with Eastasia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 It's basically gotten to the point that the phrase "fake news" is really code for "you're 100% correct"Â 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 So Pompeo makes up a bunch of complete garbage lies about how verification is in the document somehow by default (I absolutely 100% guarantee that NK would not agree), gets all pissy about an absolutely reasonably question regarding specifics for that, and then can't seem to answer said reasonable question and gets more pissy and insulting.  Yep, definitely a Trump appointee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 he literally sounds like he is saying 'this is what you have to do". He is in AWE of a dictator and his methods of subjugation. ****ing disgusting.  You support this oldguy?  ~Bang  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooked Crack Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Are we supposed to be taking him literally or seriously? Either way it's disgusting that the freaking President is rationalizing a guy who is enslaving and executing his own people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I don’t really care if we negotiate with brutal dictators but there is no reason to rationalize their behavior. Especially for the US President.  Trump is an national disgrace. But most of all he’s an awful person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Yep, this is where we are at this point, folks. We now have a President of the United States of America not just defending and rationalizing a dictator who systematically subjugates and executes his people, throws tens of thousands of families into concentration camps to die, murders anyone who he feels might challenge him, executes his own family members...he is also praising him effusively over and over.  His entire response to Bair was basically "Hey, you do what you gotta do". This is the same guy who talked about how brutal and awful the NK regime was during his SOTU address.  This is an utterly amoral person. I truly believe that if he thought he could get away with it he would have dissenters and rivals executed without a second thought. Edited June 13, 2018 by mistertim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogofWar1 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018   Yeah, well y'see, John, you're also not supposed to bend over a table, slap your rear, and act like an ignorant slut either.  "Oooooh Chairman Un, make me end wargames. I've been a naughty wanna-be authoritarian, ooooh. Take my phone so I can't call the South Koreans before promising things on their behalf, because I've been a baaaaaad wittle President." - Trump, probably. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
