CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 11, 2O18
NORTH KOREA HAS GIVEN UP THREE MEN IT HAS HELD AS PRISONERS AND THEY WERE FLOWN BACK TO THE U.S., ACCOMPANIED BY SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE POMPEO.
THE QUESTION IS: WHAT DID AMERICA GIVE IN RETURN? IF IT IS JUST A “GOOD WILL GESTURE” BY PYONGYANG IN ADVANCE OF TALKS WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, THAT MIGHT BE OK. LET’S HOPE IT IS NOT MORE THAN THAT.
KIM JONG-UN, WHO HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF UNTOLD NUMBERS OF PEOPLE AND THE INCARCERATION OF MANY OTHERS, IS HARDLY THE TYPE OF PERSON TO BE OVERFLOWING WITH GOOD WILL, KINDNESS AND COMPASSION. HE SHOOTS PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT SUFFICIENTLY WORSHIPFUL OF HIM.
BUT MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, PRESIDENT TRUMP’S STRONG STANDS AND WORDS AND HIS BACKING OUT OF THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL IS WHAT IS BRINGING KIM TO THE TABLE.
IF THE PRESIDENT CAN OFFICIALLY END THE KOREAN WAR AND GET KIM TO REMOVE NUKES FROM HIS COUNTRY – A BIG IF – HE WILL DESERVE MORE THAN THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. HE WILL DESERVE RE-ELECTION. I’M CAL THOMAS
