If we didn’t reign in the Saudi’s, then we didn’t take away ISIS revenue source.
Come on Diam be better than this. Seriously.

Come on Diam be better than this. Seriously. So are u telling me that was only revenue stream? ... i’d say the oil and the looting of the banks and every city they overtook in 2014 was the bulk of their revenue for 15 and 16 .... it made what the Saudi’s gave them look like crumbs ....  .. not that its acceptable .. thats BS too ... Come on man ... this is when u make me scratch my head ... this is just PARTISAN BS and u know it ... and yes ... reigning in the saudis is HUGE ... they need to be dealt with ... hopefully Trumps done that ... no word so more than likely not ... hopefully he addresses it soon ... Where are they in Syria today? ... Where are why in Iraq today? ... Give the man credit where its due .... especially when its this OBVIOUS .... We’ve got ISIS on their heels ... their scurrying like rats to their safe havens in Pakistan and Iran and Africa ... ISIS or some form of ISIS will NEVER be defeated ... EVER ... i wish it could be ... but u can’t eliminate an idealogy ... and there will always be poor, disgruntled young people looking for something to give them hope, no matter how misguided it is ... I WISH WE COULD ... You’ve been around ... u think it can ever be completely eliminated? .... am i wrong when i say it never will be, that there will always be some form of it around ... some folks are real naive to this stuff and think at some point it can be a Kumbya world ... witch I’d LOVE ..... what i’ve seen tells me not a shot in hell ... Am i wrong? ... if so, please tell what your hanging that hat on ...

You’re repeating the same things I’ve said since I’ve joined the boards.
However, The Saudi’s and other royalty trash around the Middle East are they’re MAIN source of revenue.
I’m not knocking trump on ISIS so much as I’m trying to tell y’all to cool it with the praise.
Bush declared mission accomplished, and look how that turned out. We’ve seen the early stages of what is now ISIS do this repeatedly.
Grow, go back to the shadows, wreck havoc, go back into the shadows, rinse repeat.
We aren’t fighting a military. We are fighting a demographic where every kill converts their children to the cause.
There’s a reason a lot of those trash royalty in Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar, etc are in on funding terrorism. It keeps the people completely divided and allows them to reign in more power.
There a reason why under Erdogan, terrosim has gone up, and he has use that to grab more power in Turkey.
If we aren’t dropping the hammer on the asshats who actually run the country, then we didn’t cut off crap.
Cutting off other revenue streams is a good thing. So good on Trump.
But those revenue shortages are temporary. And he needs to be using this time to get the heads of stare under control, or just like bush and Obama, trump will end up accomplishing a whole lot of nothing.

The Saudi's and Israel are working closely together today as they have a common enemy in Iran.
This is to our advantage.

NK and SK had a historic meeting.. they plan to officially end the Korean War... KJU has made initial statements about wanting to scale back his military programs... a ranking official from SK said Trump deserves a lot of the credit for the progress that has been made..
That's what I know to date.. everybody go back to bickering.

Nope.. just stopped in to see what was going on and read some decent conversation because some interesting things have happened in the news.... but there is none to be had... just no desire today to engage in the pointless tit for tat bickering..

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/a...of-action-chinaSo in essence...N-Kim's Main nuclear testing facility is virtually unusable. Perfect time for N-Kim to negotiate a end to his Nuclear testing in NK.

[quote=40YEARSWAITING] The Libs just want to downplay it cuz it's a Trump success. We'll give credit where credit is due. N-Kims testing facility was destroyed by N-Kim himself. And now he wants to negotiate a end to his testing.  That's like a murderer negotiating with the police that he won't kill again because he broke his gun.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in, asked about his chances of winning the Nobel Peace Prize after his summit with Kim Jong-un, told reporters, "President Trump can take the Nobel prize, all we need to take is peace," reports AFP.
Yes, but: Throughout this process, the South Koreans have been highly complimentary of Trump, intent on keeping him onside as talks progress. As optimism grows in South Korea, Moon's approval ratings have spiked to 70%.
The difference between a top down leadership model vs a bottom up leadership model.
One wants a prize, the other wants action.

jc Wake me up when this means something. Until then it's just posturing. Let's not forget that there is strong evidence NK's nuclear testing facility collapsed, and that Moon's upper leadership has PRK leanings.

Rice on North Korea Progress: Have to Give Trump Credit for 'Turning Up the Heat' on ChinaFormer Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice offered President Trump pieces of advice Tuesday for his meeting with Kim Jong Un. Rice gave current Secretary of State Mike Pompeo credit for planning the summit "very carefully," adding that North Korea will "exploit any loophole." She said credit needs to be given to the Trump administration for "having turned up the heat" on China and vowing that military force would be used to end the North Korean nuclear threat, if needed. http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/05/01/co...-summit-success

North Korea will "exploit any loophole." If negotiations do not involve a Non-Disclosure Agreement, we might have a chance.

Actually they are at the beginning of it. The talks haven't even begun yet. It is funny how when Obama said he would meet with Kim there was outrage over it. The right hated the idea. Now that it's one of theirs, it's suddenly a wonderful thing.
The double standard is hilarious.
No 40, you're not making history unless you come to an agreement. I hope for the best in all of this but the hypocrisy surrounding it is hilarious.

North Korea moves 3 detained Americans to hotel, reports say; Trump says 'Stay tuned!'Three Americans who have been detained in North Korea reportedly have been relocated ahead of the upcoming planned summit between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Trump on Wednesday night tweeted that "the past Administration has long been asking for three hostages to be released from a North Korean Labor camp, but to no avail. Stay tuned!" http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/05/02/...stay-tuned.html
