But experts warned that no amount of personal chemistry can compensate for inadequate preparation. “The failure was an admission of a need for more time and working-level talks to achieve an agreement,” Scott Snyder, a Korea expert at the Council on Foreign Relations, told The Washington Post. “You aren’t ready for a summit if your secretary of state, national security adviser, special envoy to the talks and the president aren’t all singing from one sheet of music,” said Richard Nephew, a scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University.
When reckoning with North Korea, the Trump administration has struggled even to agree internally on what “denuclearization” looks like. While Obama stayed out of the various rounds of negotiations between U.S., European and Iranian officials, Trump’s rush to personalize the process gave Kim a theatrical pas de deux with the American president, and proof that Pyongyang’s covert pursuit and possession of a nuclear arsenal was the right ticket to legitimacy on the world stage.
ishaantharoor Really?
ishaantharoor This article would be funny if it just wasn’t so twisted.
ishaantharoor No nuclear test Return of hostages He met with NK return of military remains Otto returned Sanctions in place
ishaantharoor So I guess he should’ve let them continue to build nukes while airlifting $billions in the middle of the night to them
ishaantharoor Hilariously bad analysis.
ishaantharoor That’s the dumbest hot take ever
ishaantharoor HA HA HA HA HA - stupidest thing I've read this week, and I deal with methmouths & crackheads on a daily basis
ishaantharoor Failure to what? Pile money on a pallet maybe?
ishaantharoor The Iran deal was the biggest failure in US diplomacy. You simpletons can’t bring yourselves to see reality stop being blinded by this unhealthy hatred for opposing opinions. Your sanctimonious attitude is just disgusting.
ishaantharoor Just how stupid do you think people are?
ishaantharoor This takes a special form of stupid to print this logic, let alone believe it. By this logic, Trump should provide an open invitation for Un to build what he wants in return for “monitoring” lip service.
ishaantharoor 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ishaantharoor You are ether high or stupid.
ishaantharoor But but what about the Canadian-Russian UraniumOne deal that the USA mediated. 😂
ishaantharoor Desperate for a legacy, Obama rolled over on any attempt at negotiation, instead sending the mullahs $400MM in cash as a show of good faith he'd accept whatever deal they were willing to give. Trump walked from a bad deal. This WaPo comparison is pure fantasy.
ishaantharoor Do realize how stupid this article is?
ishaantharoor It take to to make a deal , for that to happen their has to be meetings talks to reach the meeting for minds. Then reduce to writting . stop being an donkey . all your doing showing how big an ass you our.
ishaantharoor FakeNews and highly biased analysis smh
ishaantharoor The washingtonpost is complete DemocratParty propaganda B.S. Iran was paid $150 billion and they continued to develop nukes. It was a horrible lie by Obama and the money was funneled to terrorists! The Post is not a friend of U.S. citizens with their deceit.
ishaantharoor Yea right.... merit load of cash?
ishaantharoor Analysis: is FakeNews
ishaantharoor
ishaantharoor
ishaantharoor No, OBama Failed in Iran, Trump reversed that decision. Now he is with NK, Something OBama Never Could Do!
ishaantharoor This article reminds us that WaPo is a biased propagandizing FakeNews spewing whatever their puppet masters are telling them to say failing “news” outlet!! To paint the Iran deal in a positive light shows this uninformed writer is nothing but a puppet!! Despicable!
ishaantharoor Failure? You are beyond biased. Iran was criminal what Hillary and Obama did
ishaantharoor The echo chamber
It is a big shame!! and some other American media started to advocate reviving the bad nuclear deal with terrorist regime of Mullah in Iran!! I it is so confusing!!
ishaantharoor What is the WaPo SMOKING?
ishaantharoor Rhodes, said he was manipulating the media in his efforts to sell the Iran Deal: “We created an echo chamber,' [Rhodes] admitted, 'They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say
ishaantharoor Should have titled.. it Shot Down Over Hanoi
ishaantharoor No matter the outcome of that meeting, your headline and story would have been negative. Which is why nobody takes you seriously anymore
ishaantharoor LOL, no it's a reminder of how f---ing stupid Obama was when he agreed to the Iran deal and handed over billions in cash to a terrorist regime.
ishaantharoor Bwahahahahahahasnortgiggle Bwahahahahahahasnortgiggle Bwahahahahahahasnortgiggle Bwahahahahahahasnortgiggle Bwahahahahahahasnortgiggle Deep breath 😂
ishaantharoor WAPO is trash.
ishaantharoor So walking away from a bad deal proves the merits of a bad deal (Iran). Makes sense.
ishaantharoor
ishaantharoor Failed, I think not, especially since NK has signaled they want to meet with him soon.
ishaantharoor What merits?
ishaantharoor I'm sorry, what have Dems accomplished in Korea?
ishaantharoor A least he didn't give them a hundred and fifty billion......before he left
ishaantharoor The Iran 'deal' had no merits whatsoever.
ishaantharoor Just wait... how many times has the dirty WP had to eat its words? In fine print of course.
ishaantharoor
ishaantharoor You don't stop eating just because you have diarrhea
ishaantharoor Failure?! Art of the Deal!
ishaantharoor So we should give North Korea 150 billion, let NK dictate inspections, all while they run around in the streets yelling death to Israel and America? Hmm, sounds like a great deal
ishaantharoor Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
ishaantharoor Trump walks away from a bad deal Obama accepts a bad deal WAPO: See, this proves Obama’s Iran deal has merit Put the pipe down guys
ishaantharoor Just when you think WP couldn’t possibly publish another idiotic biased article....and here it is
ishaantharoor ImpeachTheMF !
ishaantharoor Dear bubble dwellers... Trump succeeded in saving you from nuclear war with North Korea
ishaantharoor FoxNews FoxNews StateDept realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse FLOTUS U fake medias have go so used to the compromising presidents that u just hate a tough & no nonsense president. God bless Trump
ishaantharoor Please fill us in on the accomplishments of our other presidents regarding North Korea......... I’ll wait.
ishaantharoor Yes, walking away from a terrible deal is a great reminder of how terriblethe Iran Deal was. EmbarrassmentToJournalsim
ishaantharoor
ishaantharoor It's a reminder that no deal is better than a bad deal, which is the WaPo headline we'd be reading today if Trump had made a deal,
ishaantharoor Bullshit propaganda
ishaantharoor
ishaantharoor Maybe he could fly Kim over some pallets of cash in the middle of the night
ishaantharoor You're nothing but a left-wing political rag!
ishaantharoor So we went from 'Trump takes a bad deal to distract from Cohen' to, 'anything would have been better than nothing'? Does anyone at the post have any idea as to why they are so hated and mocked?
ishaantharoor It's like every single person who works for the Washington Compost is mentally ill or something. TrumpDerangementSyndrome
ishaantharoor
ishaantharoor So much WINNING hahahahaha I just don't know what we are gonna do with so much WINNING realDonaldTrump MAGA 😆
ishaantharoor wrong again; if Iran had developed nukes, Israel would not let that go unchallenged. No such possibility in North Korea.
ishaantharoor WAPO IS GARBAGE LOL
ishaantharoor Merits?! Wtf drugs u idiots on?!!! Un WANTS to modernize NoKorea, Iran suppresses modernization, NoKorea doesn't carry out terrorist attacks thru world like Iran and they don't try to take over other countries to spread terror network!! U guys really r reatarded!!
ishaantharoor How fake news becomes foreign policy - a sneak peak at Qatar's Media Inf...
ishaantharoor I thought this was a headline from The Onion.
ishaantharoor Is this HealthyJournalism or TDSJournalism? 🙄 It would have been a “yuuge success” if he would have just said “sorry” for what his predecessors did...right?🤷🏻♂️
ishaantharoor Opinion: By overestimating his capabilities as a negotiator and peacemaker, President Trump just spends precious time and money on fruitless meetings with the leader of North Korea, which makes the world more dangerous. This inexcusable amateurishness..
ishaantharoor Failure? President Reagan had to meet with Soviet Russia ten times to end the Cold War.
ishaantharoor Trump Loses War in Vietnam.
ishaantharoor Failure? Lol He's doing a great job. Obama left us in a potential nuclear war. If Hillary was President we would have been at war already.
ishaantharoor
ishaantharoor How is the second face to face meeting with North Korea a failure? No more missile testing. No more nuke testing... That's FAR more progress then anyone else, where the fuck is the failure part? MSM IS the Enemy of the People. And the WORLD! All they want is war
ishaantharoor The Bezos-owned Washington Compost is a joke.
ishaantharoor Negotiating man to man towards peace is never a failure or waste of time. NorthKoreaSummit
ishaantharoor Yes, a true nuclear arms elimination deal, carefully crafted among allies & Iran, with strict verification requirements in place. An achievement Trump can’t even dream of reaching.
ishaantharoor It’s almost as if the *presidency isn’t an entry-level gig.
ishaantharoor Look at this Qatari propaganda piece
ishaantharoor It was a meeting idiots?

Opinion | Wise Rethink on SyriaOpinion: The bad news about Donald Trump’s foreign policy is that he often makes damaging comments on impulse, but the good news is that he can be persuaded to change his mind Just like a toddler, now I'm filled with confidence in him. To paraphrase Bismarck, Syria is not worth the bones of one American soldier.. The psychopathy on display at the WSJ is sickening and inhuman. You lied us into so many wars and now you're lying to keep us in them when we finally have a chance to do the right thing and stop participating in the bloodshed. Millions of dead are on your hands. Never forget.
