Red, I know she felt bad. She called me immediately afterward and said was unable to delete the whole post because Kenny had quoted the post. You both were banned. It's over.

Sadly, There are no easy solutions with N.K...What would you suggest to the world leaders ?
Stop fooling yourself. China and Russia is not gonna do much on sanctioning N.K., and Trump will not the first shot.I disagree I think the sanctions are hurting them particularly the pressure we are all putting on China to withdraw things like food, fuel and cheap Chinese workers going into North Korea.
@arkieb1 N. Korea doesn't negotiate, not with the U.S. They do not hold a seat on The United Nations Security board. The U.S. never strikes preemptively. And China has held back in getting involved in sanctioning N.K. They have nothing to gain from it.
Yes, and China is North Korea's biggest trade partner. Main food and energy source.
China doesn't want a regime collapse and have an influx of refugees.The recent nuclear missile launches have put a strain on China's support, and up to now have opposed harsh sanctions. China'a actions are what would have the most impact.

No one is saying sanctions started with Trump or that pressure on China started with Trump. Problem is, past administrations *both sides* have pretty much scratched their heads over what to do about N. Korea. Now that Un has figured out how to attach a nuclear war head to a long range missile and is testing it brings a heightened urgency to pressuring China to step in. Obama tightened sanctions. Didn't make a difference apparently. China can make a difference if they can be persuaded to take on sanctioning N.K.
This was something called a false boom. We are still paying the price for reaganomics today.
You really should brush up on your history DF!
Our economy was booming under Reagan wish I can say the same about Obama.I have posted many pointers for him to read, he doesn't or he would not worship Reagan. I hate the tax on SS (as I am on it now )
True, Our economy goes in cycles no matter which party is in power. However, Obama is the only post war Prez. who didn't see a 3% growth during his 2 term as Prez.Are you kidding @Dancing Fire? How quickly you forget what occurred during the Bush Administration.

I'm not judging him on his first 6 yrs. it was his last 2 yrs.... Obama care killed the economy.Really? Obama inherited the worst recession since 1929 (and some economists say worse than).. brought the economy back and we thrived. You need to read.
I'll comment after his first 4 yrs. Good or bad.A recession worse than anything since the Great Depression and it's excused as "our economy goes in cycles". Obama shepherds the economy from near collapse and he's criticised for not growing the economy fast enough. @Dancing Fire for your shameless bias and resistance to facts; you seem to be modeling yourself on the current president.

Ok, you literally repeat the same phrases over and over again.Our economy was booming under Reagan wish I can say the same about Obama.
Guys, guys. Give it a rest. DF may be a long time member of this forum, but he's still a troll when it comes to politics or culture. He's been doing this for freakin' EVER. When things get slow, he starts trying to get a reaction, and there's generally someone who'll bite. He loves it. He's about as predictable as the sun rising and setting. In my nearly 10 years here, he's never supported his bumper sticker analyses of politics, and I can pretty much guarantee he's never read a real history book, you know, one with depth and nuance, one that isn't written as a long stream-of-consciousness collection of bumper stickers.
Write your responses for yourselves or because you want others to read them, but you might want to just quit trying to make him "see" anything, because, ain't gonna happen. You will type many keystrokes, write well, and support your assertions with numbers, or examples, or history, and he will not discuss by showing you how you're wrong and supporting his assertions with anything he's read, he'll respond by deflecting with another bumper sticker, or one sentence about how he believes what he believes because he believes it.
Remember, facts mean nothing, and historical reality means nothing. We are in post-reality America and you're going to bash yourselves bloody on that insensate wall unless you pace yourselves. HE is so not worth it.
Yup, you are right ...nothing is worth posting unless we agree with the left wingers here...Remember, facts mean nothing, and historical reality means nothing. We are in post-reality America and you're going to bash yourselves bloody on that insensate wall unless you pace yourselves. HE is so not worth it.

Nahhh, Carter and Obama is fighting over each other for the title of "worst post war Prez". Maybe we can bring Carter back if you prefer high inflation or Obama if you prefer a slow growth economy. Sadly the Dem. party have had change for the worse . What happened to the Kennedy Dems. of the 60's?I wouldn't expect you to understand because Reagan is your party's only darling. All of the rest of your recent presidents are complete failures. The sad news is that Reagan is too..maybe the worst.
