Ironic because Noam disagrees with you about Korea

In fact, I should say that some of the things that Drumpf has done, which arewhich merit praise, are bitterly attacked by the Democrats and by the Republican hawks, in particular, with regard to Korea. In April, last April, the two Koreas, North and South, issued a historic declaration, Panmunjom Declaration, in which they laid out for the first time fairly detailed plans and moves towards a reduction of tension, reconciliation, a reduction of weaponry, denuclearization. Very sensible, detailed plans. And they virtually pleaded with the outside world, meaning the United States, not to interfere. What they said is, the two Koreas will proceed with these plans on their own accordcrucially. In other words, let us do it. Drumpf, to his credit, has not interfered. The Singapore summit, for which he was lambasted, was one of his moreone of his very few admirable achievements. He not only did not intervene, but he even withdrew what he correctly described as provocative U.S.-South Korean military operations. Well, all of that should be supported. I dont know what his reasons were, maybe ridiculous reasons, but doesnt matter. These are moves that should be supported. Those are the things for which hes being bitterly attacked. So, its not an entirely, you know, sort of clear issue.

tl;dr, Noam thinks he handled Korea the way it should have been done, correctly.

We disagree a bit on this, but I see his point. Mine was about how he came out of the Singapore summit declaring a great victory, but there was next to nothing on paper. After all the bashing Trump did of the Iran deal, with all its verification procedures and access, to handle the summit the way he did was a joke.

But, certainly better than last year when it was all threats.
