Those doors to the tunnels were almost see through.

given the quality of some of the NK propaganda vids I was half expecting cardboard doors

When they opened them I was expecting the soldier to life them off the hinges. Seen some heavy duty doors and felt their weight but these were perhaps cardboard.....

Trump spouts off some rubbish... goes and listens to the grownups... comes back

So this North Korean nuclear site, rather small and suspiciously green wouldn't you say?

I watched a news report earlier (sorry can't remember the agency) that said that their Geiger counters had been confiscated before they reached the site. I can see a couple of reasons why you might do that, neither terribly reassuring.

Or, more probably, not.

What, so they didn't actually destroy the test site?! Wow, I'm shocked!

So ut's back on...maybe...wonder if everybody go the memo, 'don't keep mentioning, Libya!.'

I expect Mr Bolton is having a fun time here.

I would be willing to bet the change in heart was NK, SK, China, Russia saying they were going ahead with talks without the US

,then someone pointing out quite how bad that would be for the US

Well, he cancelled them before because he thought Kim was going to and didn't want to lose face, it's all about the ratings after all...

But then surely Trump loses face by reneging on his cancellation? The man's a tit, it beggars belief he's in the position he is.

He didn’t cancel, simply said it couldn’t proceed given NK belligerence but that if Kim changed his mind, to get in touch...

I wonder if Moon told Trump he was meeting Kim before it happened.

If he didn't he needs to wake up a bit, he's in danger of driving a wedge between SK and the US, which is exactly what NK wants.

The US is covering SK's ass, and he needs to remember that.

Anyhoo, Singapore is back on (as I speak, who knows, perhaps we need to rename the thread Donald Trump, how serious should we take him?)
