Secret talks by "President Transparency"

The "most transparent" administration ever in the United States secretly met with North Korea with the goal of formally ending the Korean War. 

In the past, we have had the condition that Pyongyang begin to curtail its nuclear arsenal. Obama has since dropped that condition because, evidently, he trusts North Korea to do the right thing even though they have been lax to do the right thing in the past. They scoff at agreements.

Now we are calling for their atomic-weapons program to simply be part of the negotiations, but Pyongyang flipped Obama off and went ahead with a nuclear test on January 6th.

In a weak attempt to save face, State Department spokespuppet John Kirby said, "To be clear, it was the North Koreans who proposed discussing a peace treaty. We carefully considered their proposal, and made clear that denuclearization had to be part of any such discussion."

North Korea rejected it. 

"Our response to the North Korean proposal was consistent with our longstanding focus on denuclearization," Kirby said.

It's obvious that North Korea respects us as much as Iran does., as much as the Middle East does. Even as much as our allies do. But along with the loss of respect under the Obama administration, comes lack of trust.

The next president is going to have to do a lot of global repair work and regain that trust and respect.

I cannot imagine that happening with a liberal government.
