    This is in accord with what nearly everyone w experience in NK/CN/SK/JP was warning against. And completely at odds with Trump-world press exultation: See also: “trade war”

    Frankly the rhetoric on both sides is irrelevant-if DPRK won’t deliver a fully verifiable complete declaration of their nuclear capabilities then this is a dead end. Rhetoric is just trash talk.

    Pompeo: The talks were “productive” and “a great deal of progress” was made. North Korean FM spokesman: The talks were “very concerning” & have led to a “dangerous phase that might rattle our willingness for denuclearization that had been firm.”

    Trump’s lawyers are quietly more combative, too, contesting a request from the special counsel to interview John F. Kelly, the White House chief of staff. ⁦⁩ ⁦⁩

    Wow. Stomach turning. He is talking about a man who has invaded Crimea, killed journalists, poisoned people in the UK--and meddled in our elections.

    Hard to believe this absence of forethought.

    When migrant families were separated per Trump administration policy, CBP destroyed hundreds of records in which the children were listed w their parents under family ID . So now they can’t find & reunify the families

    Thanks, Gareth, for trip down memory lane. Wasn’t the 1994 agreement followed by the North secretly buying uranium enrichment equipment from AQ Khan, providing a second pathway to a bomb? And Congress slow-walking promised aid to DPRK? Story reads pretty well 24 years later.

    David reports thaat agreement with will yield "dubious results" -- Oh, wait -- that's the one he wrote 24 years ago trashing the Clinton administration effort to reach a nuclear agreement with N. Korea at a similar stage in talks!

    The front-page story by Samuel Wilkeson about his son’s death on the battlefield at Gettysburg -- written on July 4, 1863 (and published on July 6) -- is amazing. You'll want to read it; and you'll be moved by it.

    With North Korea, perhaps the most critical national security crisis Mr. Trump faces, he is conflating a good meeting with a good outcome. It's as if JFK had decreed the Cold War solved in 1961 after Khrushchev meeting.
