Ho-Hum-in


Kim Jong-un has canceled a meeting with South Korea today and is threatening to pull out of his planned summit with President Trump ... all because of well-advertised  joint military exercises between the US and South Korea. So what else is new? Such negotiating tactics are to be expected from North Korea ... as they have behaved the same way many times in the past.

It is the TV media that us the manic-depressive in this scenario. They love to glom onto good news and bad news to whip up a viewership frenzy. They should know ... as I am sure that Trump knows ... that there will be many zigs and zags before this negotiations with Kim are done ... for good or bad.

Will this process end with the denuclearization  of the Korean Peninsula ? For what it's worth, my guess is NO ... history is a good predictor ... but what do I know?
