he got his nothing "agreement" with NK which more than sufficiently vaguely worded to ignite a sickening self congratulatory tweetstorm once POTUS gets home.
The IAEA wasn't tagged in, no sign of NK's signature on the Non Proliferation Treaty, to say nothing of any specific pledges or even a hint of a TIMETABLE for Cthulu's sake. Nope like a credulous dope Trump hinted around normalizing relations with NK, a peace treaty and is apparently thinking about suspending training drills with the South Korean Armed Forces, which IF implemented, is de-facto capitulation to Pyongyang.
Granted, we got our prisoners back, but this is NK they can take new hostages in a heartbeat, and meanwhile other than that, what substantive concessions did we get out of this summit?
Answer: Nothing.
It would appear that Trump has been intimidated out of putting any more military pressure on North Korea (hence the possible suspension of training drills I wonder what SECDEF Mattis & Senator McCain think about that??) and simply declaring victory bailing out, tweets to follow ad nauseum.
Meanwhile, North Korea collects a nice fat prestige bounty and keeps its nukes for the foreseeable future, all Trump did yesterday was compromise our regional alliances and pose for pictures with an insolent smirk. Peace Now? Not Hardly.
