Never has a territory been so well documented like Israel has. 3300 years of well documented history in writting, in song and in the spoken word.

All the rest are mere inventions of those that hate the profecies...

Even more North Korea news, for those here that actually thought NK would give up their nukes:

N. Korea threatens to cancel US summit: KCNA

UPDATE: North Korea threatened Wednesday to cancel the forthcoming summit between leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump if Washington seeks to push Pyongyang into giving up its nuclear arsenal.

If the Trump administration "corners us and unilaterally demands we give up nuclear weapons we will no longer have an interest in talks and will have to reconsider whether we will accept the upcoming DPRK-US summit", first vice foreign minister Kim Kye Gwan said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency.

From BBCs Jon Sopel
“North Korea news agency says summit with @realDonaldTrump will be reconsidered if US President insists on NK giving up nuclear programme. Insists will not give up nuclear programme in return for economic assistance from US.”

(I see JB just posted the same..)

Hmmm - who saw that coming?

They’re playing him. only thing they’re giving up is that test site because it’s damaged and useless anyway.

Leave it to Fake News WAPO (and it's faithful sheep here at NamePros!) to post only a few recent accomplishments and claim that's it! Educate yourself and look at a very impressive real list of President Trump's accomplishments below:

Most with nary a vote or assistance from Dems!

Please work on your reading comprehension skills. The list of “accomplishments” originated on Fox and Friends. WaPo only commented on their (odd) choices.

Right...and then you felt it was worth twisting it into a look at how stupid Fox is pointing out how little Trump has accomplished post. We are on to you, claiming you're not a liberal and you don't hate Trump! Lol!

 

[enlytend]

It was a stupid list for Fox to post. Do you disagree they could have made better choices? Two of the things they posted weren't even things 45 "did."
I merely pointed out an article which took issue with Fox's crap "reporting" and called them out on it.
No agenda, no hidden agenda. Fox posted a stupid list of non-accomplishments. End of story.
If you're determined to make baseless interpretations of everything I post, that's your problem, not mine. Knock yourself out!

Hot takes from the left "they're playing him", every time Kim makes an announcement.

 

[johname]

Whats going on is that the media coverage was starting to look too much like Kim was just going to lay down at the summit. So Kim now knows to tough his stance up. Trump knows this because he would do the same thing if he was Kim. Got to read the tea leaves

 

[mr-x]

I wonder if NK will open up to the world. They've "ended" the war, does the peace look like more crazy or more prosperity.

 

[johname]

The problem Kim has with NK opening up to the world too much is regime change. The best thing for Kim is a slow roll which makes him look like a hero decades down the road.

Fox's crap "reporting"

Fox posted a stupid list

No agenda

Well...it's definitely not hidden, I'll give you that!

Do you think he even wants regime change at all? I don't. He's a 3rd generation authoritarian who had his own family members killed for petty offenses. But he wants to be considered an equal power on the world stage.
Besides the "we're not giving up our nukes" there was the "don't bring human rights into this or the deal is off" the other day. Human rights is the elephant in the room - the "haves" in that country have done horrible things to the "have nots" and to anyone who is or looks like they are in the least bit inclined towards dissent or even thinking for themselves. Their human rights issues are going to be much more obvious the more they open up.
