Donald Trump will meet Kim Jong-un

 

 

Paul Keating praises Donald Trump

As the US president accepted an invitation to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for talks, Keating said he had not expected Trump to have “such a pragmatic” foreign policy and urged the president to continue down the path he was on.

 “America has gone on for 24 years without a strategy,” Keating told a business conference in Sydney on Friday, during which he criticised Barack Obama’s timidity and “lack of policy ambition” in office.

“Trump has, surprisingly – and I hope he maintains this – put his hand up for the right policy.”

Trump "fired" Tillerson via one of his "Tweets" within the last 24 hours!   Thought Trump said Tillerson was doing a "good job"?    What's it all about?  I haven't heard of the reason yet ........

President Trump praised members of the military Tuesday, saying the administration will give them the “largest pay rise in over a decade,” while touting successes around the globe, and even suggesting the creation of a new military branch — the “Space Force.”

.... well - still not sure it is gonna' happen IMO  -  but  - "experts"  lol yep ""experts" are touting Sweden as a peaceful place/country to meet!     Nice!

Both could still get "bumped off" at any given time!  

 

.... sooooo the big black and gold train - with it's many carriage's - left Nth. Korea and went to China?   Interesting!  (If the world can believe it?)  Fake news???  Train could be empty for all the world knows???

Lil' Kimmy has never left Nth. Korea in his life (according to the Internet) So is this "trip to China" a  real story?  ....   or - simply more propaganda??? 

Will wait and see ...................

If he never left Nth Korea, wonder how he got to Switzerland for schooling????

China has confirmed North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has visited Beijing, and says it won a pledge from him to work towards denuclearising the Korean Peninsula.

Key points:Kim Jong-un reportedly said North Korea is "committed to denuclearisation"Donald Trump is briefed on the meetingXi Jinping accepts an invite to North Korea, reaffirms friendship

 

Beijing announced this morning that Mr Kim had met President Xi Jinping during what the official Xinhua news agency called an unofficial visit from Sunday to Wednesday.

The trip was Mr Kim's first known journey abroad since he assumed power in 2011 and is believed by analysts to serve as preparation for upcoming summits with South Korea and the United States.

Back in 2014 Kim Jong-un disappeared for an extended period of time to have some sort of foot operation done by "European Experts' ???

 

Just can't figure out Kim's sudden change of mind, very mysterious IMO.  Wonder if Donald Trump is involved in this strange turnaround but whatever the reason, it's fantastic news.  Saw the people marching in Seoul waving the American flag and praying for Trump to do something that will reunite them with their long lost relatives in North Korea.  Could there possibly be a reunited Korea somewhere in the future?  I certainly hope so.

who would be the head of the country though....cannot see Rocket Boy relinquishing the role myself.

Good point Radish, never thought of that.

North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, waves from his train as it prepares to depart from Beijing railway station. Kim Jong-un was treated to a lavish welcome by the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, during a secretive trip as both sides seek to repair frayed ties before key summits with Seoul and Washington.

Great pics, thanks RnR, they say his wife has already provided him with 3 children, don't know how true it is.

a bit more info on him...he looks older than his 34/35 years I think

 

"Kim is the second child of his predecessor as Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-il and his wife Kim Yong-hui.

North Korean authorities have stated that his birth date is January 8, 1982, but South Korean intelligence officials believe the actual date is a year later.

Chicago Bulls legend Dennis Rodman, who is a friend of the dictator, said he was born on January 8, 1983.

But records at the Swiss school he attended say he was born on July 5, 1984 putting him anywhere between 33 and 35 years of age.

Kim attended an English language school near Bern before later going to the Liebefeld Steinhölzli school in Koniz using the name "Pak Un."

And it was during his time in Europe where he is said to have developed his passions for cheese and basketball.

His old mates at the German-speaking Liebefeld-Steinhölzli public school say Kim was a "funny, popular boy."

“He was a good friend,” Bern chef Joao Micaelo, who attended Liebefeld-Steinhölzli with Kim for two years, told the Daily Beast.

“We had a lot of fun together. He was a good guy. Lots of kids liked him. I don’t know anything about his life today. All I know is the guy I knew in school.

“He loved basketball. We played a lot together. I’d like to say to him, if you ever have the time, please contact me again so we can catch up.”

Like everybody else at the school, Mr Micaelo was introduced to Kim as “Pak Un” and told he was the son of North Korean embassy official.

He said one day Kim told him who he really was, but he dismissed the story as fantasy.

Another childhood friend, Marco Imhof, remembered Kim as competitive but good-natured.

 Kim was 'competitive but good natured' in his schooldays

“He was funny,” Mr Imhof who is also based in Bern, told the Beast. “(He was) always good for a laugh. He also hated to lose. Winning was very important.”Kim reportedly enjoys superyachts, party islands and his fine wine and cheese while his people struggle to survive on the bare minimum.

The strongman leader allegedly has access to a £5million superyacht, a fleet of bulletproof Mercedes limousines and a ski resort for him and his cronies.

North Korea has been accused of funding Kim’s extravagant lifestyle through illegal operations including hacking banks, selling weapons, dealing drugs and trafficking endangered species, news.com.au reported.

Aerial pictures have revealed a party island– dubbed 'North Korea’s Ibiza' – where the dictator entertains his cronies.

The sprawling resort comprises of luxury villas dotted around Kim’s giant private palace on a wooded estate on the east coast of the hermit nation.

Poverty is rife in North Korea after years of sanctions and economic mismanagement.

In March Kim slipped into China for a "unofficial visit" to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping ahead of talks with US President Donald Trump.

Who are Kim Jong-un's family?

Kim Jong-un has two full siblings, an older brother named Kim Jong-chul and a younger sister named Kim Yo-jong.

He had an elder half-brother named Kim Jong-nam who was assassinated in Kuala Lumpur Airport after being attacked by two women.

On July 25, 2012, North Korean state media reported for the first time that Kim Jong-un was married to Ri Sol-ju.

Despot Kim has fathered three children with his wife - who is believed to have once visited South Korea as part of a cheerleading squad.

According to previous intelligence reports, Ri married the dictator in 2009 and gave birth to their first child the following year, with their second born in 2013."
