Historic! Trump aces N. Korea

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Obama received horrible approval ratings while in office. Very close to Trump's lowest ratings. Like most presidents, his perceived approval ratings rise when out of office. Revisionist history.

Unfortunately, it suits both Koreas,( as well as China, the US and Russia), to keep the Korean nuclear missile contest going, so there's little hope that there will be an agreement IMO.
You can say or think whatever you want. There are a few facts though, and it usually helps if you base your opinions on them. At least if you want to be grounded in reality.

- The US introduced nuclear weapons to the Korean peninsula in the 1950's against the terms of the armistice.

- North Korea fought for denuclearization of the Korean peninsula from the 1950's.

- In 1974 South Korea started developing its own nuclear missiles.

- In the early 1980's the North finally gave in and started pursuing its own missiles. Or, more precisely, it tried to but was unable to get much help on it, even from erstwhile allies like China and the USSR.

- The US only withdrew its nuclear arsenal from Korea in 1991. By then it had a nuclear fleet in place that could hit Korean anyway.

- North Korea completed its first nuclear test in 2006, after 50 years of pushing unsuccessfully to denuclearize the Korean peninsula.

The Democrats are historically the party of war. Democratic Presidents were primary commander in chief for:

- Mexican American War
- Invasion of Haiti (twice)
- Invasion of Dominican Republic (twice)
- WW1
- WW2
- Korean War
- Vietnam War
- Bay of Pigs
- Laos
- Cambodia
- Bosnia
- Libya

And probably many more I've forgotten.
"The revolution did more than legally create the United States; it transformed American society... Far from remaining monarchical, hierarchy-ridden subjects on the margin of civilization, Americans had become, almost overnight, the most liberal, the most democratic, the most commercial minded, and the most modern people in the world." - Gordon S. Wood

I am just saying that the two Koreas remaining on a war status has suited just about everyone right up until now. So why should that change now ? Genuine question.
Don't care about who's in govt in the US because that hasn't changed a thing. The Korean war is some sort of relic that keeps on giving. Well past the sell-by date IMO.

"Hasn't changed a thing" since this current administration? Really? Already trying not to give any credit when it's due.

Chill out. No Nobel awards (or any kind of praise) for anything until it's done, right ? I totally agree that it's ridiculous to give credit in anticipation. Obama's Nobel was a good example of putting the cart before the horse. Let's see what gets done and then we can all back-slap or bitch-slap or whatever.

I like that he doesn't give a fuck about political correctness, tweets crazily at 3am, and grabs ass on occasion too. I hope that things work out smoothly in Korea, the war ends, and that Kim gives his people a better life.
Well said :thumb:
