Donald Trump, liberating the mighty and indefatigable North Korean people from the evil depredations of the vile Yankee imperialist rats.

Yes, another freakin’ shitshow! And yet we’re all supposed to believe the Iran deal was horrible, what with it’s multi-national backing and most stringent verification protocols.

Why bother with all that when President Fuckwit can just give away the farm while slobbering over another brutal dictator.

Wow. That didn’t take long.

Sprang the trap in the same news cycle as the photo-op “summit” itself.

Cue the Trump “ingrates” tweet in 3… 2… 1…

Of course he did. In the words of a former Secretary of State, he’s a “f*cking moron.”

Isn’t that called protection money? How much do you suppose he agreed to pay them in exchange for them not calling him a dotard again?

Donald Trump agreed to lift sanctions against North Korea along with providing it with security guarantees, the nation’s state news agency has claimed.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), which also reported Kim Jong-un had accepted an invitation to visit the White House, said Mr Trump had indicated he would lift sanctions along with ending military exercises with South Korea.

There was no independent confirmation of the claim and no immediate comment from the White House. On Tuesday, while Mr Trump had indicated he wanted to end “very provocative” war games, he said that sanctions would remain in place to exert “tremendous pressure”.

He’s goin’ to the White House. Let’s partaay!

Wow! This is like the time I tried to buy a property, looked at the inspection report and ran far away. It just keeps getting worse.

I was trying to make sense of why Kim Jong Un would want this meeting because I don’t think there is any promise Trump could make that Kim could have any realistic expectation that a future Congress or President would keep.

Then the news about Kim calling China like ET phoning home about Trump’s openness to ending joint military exercises and withdraw US forces from the Korean peninsula came out and it all made sense.

This was not a Trump-Kim summit. This was a Trump-China summit with Kim as Xi’s proxy. There is this tendency to think that there is no issue linkage between economic and security discussions. In fact, the world order that the US built after WWII is all about layered security and economic relationships.

We do know that a Chinese backed state entity agreed to pour hundreds of millions of dollars (if not $1 billion) on that big Indonesian development which has a number of Trump Tower and condo properties planned. We also know that Ivanka’s trademarks got approved and earlier Jared’s family ran an EB-5 scam targeted at rich Chinese folks. What China wanted in return for all that economic largesse and outright bribes was this: to get Trump to weaken the US footprint in NE Asia and to break the US-AsiaPac alliance. On the security front, Russia’s interests align with China’s. The removal of Korean sanctions also makes sense for China, because China has essentially been underwriting NK’s existence for decades. I think the extent of Chinese financing for NK is not as widely understood, but given how closely China and NK interacted for this meeting, I would conclude that NK is in effect a client state of China for all intents and purposes when it comes to the regional politics of NE Asia. Russia, too, has provided aid, military support and financing for NK. Getting the burden of sanctions off helps them too.

This isn’t just an incompetent President. This is a guy who is on the take and responds to the highest bidders, which are China and Russia in this case. We are being owned hard, and we are politically paralyzed to do anything about it until the midterms.
