Bringing home these Americans is a positive development, but I hope it doesn’t blind President Trump to the reality of this regime and the very real threat it still poses
Pompeo returning from North Korea with 3 Americans who’d been held hostage there
Hopefully we didn’t agree to lift sanctions or turn a blind eye to the Norks’ nuclear pursuits as the price for this, but for now let’s be happy for the men whose freedom has finally been won.
I could be wrong, but my guess is that we gave them nothing. Bowl Cut Jr. is clearly motivated to make this meeting with Trump happen (I won’t call it a “summit” because that elevates Kim way above his actual station), and it’s not surprising that Pompeo would make it clear a meeting is a nonstarter while the Norks are still holding American citizens.
