    Except that previous presidents have had greater agreements from NK without all the concessions NK got this time around.

    - The Washington Post

    "
    When President Bill Clinton struck a landmark deal with North Korea in 1994, the isolated nation agreed to take a variety of specific steps that included freezing and later dismantling its nuclear program, as well as opening its facilities to international inspectors.

    When President George W. Bush forged a deal in 2005, North Korea promised to abandon all of its nuclear weapons programs and return to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

    On Tuesday, when President Trump unveiled his agreement, he excoriated past presidents for failing to make the issue a “priority” and hailed his own document as “very, very comprehensive.”

    But scholars say the joint statement signed by Trump and Kim Jong Un reduces North Korea’s commitments to just one sentence: a pledge to “work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.”"

    I meant to reply to this thread ages ago RE Trump's space force thing. Isn't that illegal? I thought there was some Cold War treaty that made militarising space a no no?

    We've already had this discussion, somewhere in the depths of this thread...

    The short answer is no, space is pretty much up for grabs.

    A few non-binding resolutions, committees that the US can simply leave... the US has already broken the Geneva Convention and international human rights law without consequence, and Reagan already showed the country's willingness to break treaties regarding the weaponisation of space, even if the Star Wars programme didn't get off the ground.

    Whoever gets a toehold first will essentially control who gets to follow after them. I can't see any laws stopping the US from making sure it is them in control.

    This is just ridiculous.
    I'm actually lacking words other than that right now.

    I'm sad that I can like this only once.

    This seems apt...

    Do you think anyone in the GOP has the self awareness to realise this?
