We never had any influence over NK in the first place…I don’t really see a problem here, if the Chinese and Russians can actually convince the Koreans to stop their nuclear program, I think it would be great.

And NK just successfully launched it's first ICBM, which has the range to hit Alaska. Now with Trump sending our navy's ships close to that man-made disputed Chinese island in the South China Sea, I think that tensions have just been ratcheted up a notch.

I guess Trump really isn't so good at his "supposed" superior art of the deal. Suck it American farmers. :wink:
