Discussion: Vietnam Vows 'Maximum Level' Security For US-North Korea Summit

This certainly puts my mind at ease. It would be an international tragedy if something were to happen to these two great visionaries.

Maybe they should take them on a tour of an unmarked mine field.

I wonder how the Vietnamese feel about the fact that weā€™re once again inflicting Agent Orange on them.

To ensure security the meetings will be held at the Hanoi Hilton.

A little security lapse here, and another lapse there.

Security? Pfft. Life is a chancy business. When things are hastily arranged you have to cut a corner here and there, and if things happen thatā€™s just how it goes. Do you understand what Iā€™m saying to you here?

An entire AP article breathlessly reporting all the preparations made for Kim Jong Un, little children waiting to sing him a song, soldiers guarding the roads, armored train - without once mentioning death camps, mass starvation or the relentless propaganda.
keep up the mediocrity AP!

well, it would be a national tragedy here. because then weā€™d have to listen to president pence for the next 4 years and the press moaning about what a great leader 45* was and how he was never given a fair chanceā€¦no, sorry North Korea, I know you guys would be better off, but I canā€™t take it.

Now, Now, Come On ! It wouldnā€™t be nice, if AP spoiled the magic of the moment for Kim and Donald !

Maybe Donald will take Kim up in AF-1 for a round trip over Hanoi ?

True. In order for Trumpism to die, the downfall has to be public and humiliating. Some combination of: indictments, guilty pleas, convictions, impeachment, resignations in disgrace, massive electoral defeats, collapse of the Trump Organization, and so on.

If some enterprising Colonel had managed to assassinate Hitler in, say, 1939, Hitler would still be revered by large numbers of Germans.

OK, so this would be weird in a normal worldā€¦but not for tRump apparentlyā€¦

I know this information came from an AP article but for some dumb reason Lavrov will just happen to be in Vietnam the same time as tRump this week. There is also reporting that tRump is conferring with Russia for advice on what to do with N. Korea, and basically ignoring his own advisors it seems from other reporting elsewhere Iā€™ve seen.

Oh yes, some Russians still miss Stalin. Iā€™ve said this before: When I was a young teen, I heard some adult say: ā€œMussolini did a lot of goodā€.

Little Kimmy taking a train to Vietnam? Wonā€™t he have to travel 2/3 the length of China?
Goodness, heā€™ll have hemorrhoids.
