Donald Trump

Cuomo gave him a free ad for that.

His aside after the interview made me laugh. Something along the lines of "How has the country got to the point where Dennis Rodman understands two political leaders better than us?"

Yes, that says more about Dennis Rodman and said political leaders than it does about “us” I think.

Kim given 'security guarantees' for disarmament of nukes.

Lets hope they're not the same 'security guarantees' they gave Gaddafi.

It's good thing there was ISIS to create all the $18 trillion in GNP the nation generated last year.

I don't understand. Are you saying that because the US economy is so big that the military-industrial complex is economically irrelevant? (Armaments is about 10% of American factory output.)

Or that ISIS (which may not exist but for US policy in the region) is why you need the military industrial complex (with its tentacles in government)?

The US backed Iraq in the war against Iran then went to war to defend Kuwait (to defend boundaries partly set up to carve up the area for US and British oil interests) then invaded Iraq using 9/11 as a pretext when it was more the Saudis to blame for 9/11 (and ISIS).

You don't think the 1980s were the height of the cold war. In Europe we were getting cruise missiles as part of an American strategy of "limited nuclear war" (limited to Europe) while the US was supporting Pinochet in Chile and other dictators in Central America against popular revolutions. "We're on the side that's murdering nuns." Tensions were pretty high on our side of your cold war, and Reagan's evil empire talk was just turned back on itself.

Lol, now I know you're just taking the piss.
There's no way anybody could be this stupid.

Oh I think he just may be.

Its a good job the 'evil empire' was persuaded to enter into the 2nd world war otherwise we'd all be speaking German now

Check your bloody history. The invasion of Britain had already been cancelled as they couldn’t win air superiority.

Parts of Europe might have a more German tinge but the British wouldn’t be speaking German.

And let’s not forget why they joined the war. It wasn’t to help Europe out but because they’d just been attacked by Japan and had the Japanese and Germans declare war on them. They were more than happy to sit on the sidelines and profit by selling 30 year old equipment at extortionate rates to the Brits.

Let’s hope it brings an end to tension to the Korean Peninsula and hope for peace in that great country.

Credit where due.Trump has played a blinder by the looks of things.

Today 'The Donald' deserves all of the many plaudits he is receiving.
History has been made.
We are closer to world peace.
Donald Trump is the man to thank for that.
Regardless of what you think of the man you have to give him credit for this.

They have watched to many John Wayne movies. Even worse that is their version of history.
