Devil’s gone AWOL
What better environment for the devil to flourish than a meeting involving two individuals: A monster and a moron. It seems the summit between T-Rump and Kim Jung Un produced little beyond photo ops. Lots of fu-fu dust permeates the moment but fails to obscure the reality show that’s center stage.
Why would two carnivores settle for the salad bar? C’mon guys, where’s the beef?
The language in our new mutual agreement is the weakest of any previous pact and appears to have been drafted, almost spontaneously, by China. Note: In January 1992, during the George Herbert Walker Bush administration, the two Koreas signed a joint declaration agreeing not to “test, manufacture, produce, receive, possess, store, deploy or use nuclear weapons” or to “possess nuclear reprocessing and uranium enrichment facilities.” To verify this agreement, mutual inspections were also included. That was 26 years ago.
So where’s the devil today? His absence in this agreement is conspicuous and confirms without question that public relations, not international relations, was the central goal of this faux summit.
Historic? Highly doubtful. The weight of history is too ponderous for a document that is wafer-thin, sans details, to survive. It’s closer to evaporating than enduring.
