Kim Jong Trump and Donald Un did their summit in Singapore this week. Now, we just have to find out exactly what the fuck went on. And if they actually achieved anything. If you want all the political ins and outs, you might wanna check your favourite news feed.
What I got out of the meeting was a lot of platitudes back and forth between The Donald and his new bestie. There were, from what I've gleaned out of the nearly non-stop coverage, a few vague promises from both leaders. Kim says he'll shut his missile test site (probably 'cause he don't need it anymore), while Donny says he'll halt joint military war games with South Korea (because he says it'll save the U.S money).
That's all well and good, as far as it goes. Both leaders put on their best smiley faces for the cameras, but I'd like to have been a fly on the wall when they were flying back to their respective capitals. THAT would be some interesting listening, to be sure, as each gave an unfiltered view of the other. With the adult language filter off.
Still, such a meeting is progress, and Trump apparently invited Kim to the White House, while Kim apparently invited The Donald to Pyongyang. Hopefully, we'll actually see some détente from this meeting, instead of the 2 trading insults and threats.
But the sceptic in me wonders who played who as the biggest fool?
'Nuff said.
