Trumps smoke and mirrors veil the real deal

So if Trump had managed to pull off an agreement from North Korea to denuclearise I would have taken my hat off to him (not that I wear one, but anyway...)

However in summary what we find is

• Trump handed the North Korean dictator a respectability card never dished out before by an American president.
• What did Trump "the great negotiator" get in return? Looking through the veil of the smoke and mirrors it appears to be nothing of substance.
• Trump seems to have forged forward, casting aside all human rights issues, purely again on a vanity stunt, just so he can claim to the blinkered faithful. "I achieved what no other US president did" when all other Presidents could have done the same if they had been prepared to toss aside the horrendous human rights issues that North Korean has.
• We've achieved an agreement from North Korean to completely denuclearise ..... Sorry what!!... no you haven't ... more smoke and mirrors. Turns out all that was agreed was a working towards denuclearisation, totally different.
• Lol Trump just recently withdrew from a 110 page agreement with Iran only to wave around a two page document with nothing of substance on it as if hes achieved something other than legitimising a Dictator, you couldn't make it up.

So setting aside all the smoke, mirrors and look at me how great I am. What did we actually see achieved.  These are the actual points from the signed agreement.

1. The United States and the DPRK commit to establish new U.S.-DPRK relations in accordance with the desire of the peoples of the two countries for peace and prosperity.
2. The United States and the DPRK will join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula.
3. Reaffirming the April 27, 2018 Panmunjom Declaration, the DPRK commits to work towards complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
4. The United States and the DPRK commit to recovering POW/MIA remains, including the immediate repatriation of those already identified.

"Put simply, Kim is saying he’ll get rid of his nuclear weapons only when Russia, China, the US and everyone else gets rid of theirs."

Hmmmm now where have we heard that before?

Oh yes that would be the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Entered into force 1970 and extended indefinitely in 1995.

 Article VI: Each party "undertakes to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a Treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control".

So for  48 years the members of this treaty have been forging ahead negotiating on complete disarmament ..... except they haven't. Trump couldn't even get Kim to sign back up to this treaty, at least that would have been something more official.

Instead hes come out with .... NOTHING with regard to nuclear weapons.

What a joke!

Kim will party on this achievement for years and rightly so. Hes negotiated with the biggest power on earth and gave away absolutely nothing.
