NorKor progress under the God Emperor: better or worse than under any other Murcan president in the history of history?
Trade:
The God Emperor wrote: | This is why [I and Drunkers] agreed today, first of all, to work together toward zero tariffs, zero non-tariff barriers, and zero subsidies |
The last being the critical one.
You were saying something funny about tariffs not working?
The God Emperor is pro free-trade. But free of tariffs and free of subsidies: "fairer and more reciprocal".
"the European Union is going to do better, stronger, bigger"

None were happening under Obama, or Bush II. The "monitoring" was always a bad joke anyway, with Dear Leader giving poor old Hans Blix (oh no, not Hans Blix) the run around.

The God Emperor is making progress. Bear in mind that the NorKorians have already set up Little Rocket Man as a false god; it'll take them time to see the light, even if it's a very, very bright one.

If only that had been a tweet and not a joint press conference with Drunkers.
Tariffs can be dismantled by His will alone. The God Emperor giveth tariffs and the God Emperor taketh them away. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I made the strongest and best use of a rhetorical device that anyone has ever used since I invented rhetoric.

Just another quick "are we in the same reality" check: you do realise that Trump is actually President, and one of the few things over which he has direct control is tariffs?
He can drop US tariffs any time he likes. He wants to do so, when the EU stops acting in a predatory, protectionist manner.
Recall, Murcan tariffs on subsidised EU steel being dumped on them follow EU tariffs on subsidised China-China-China steel being dumped on them.
The EU blocks perfectly healthsome chlorine gassed USian frankenchickens. The only weaponised "food" that Murca bans is haggis, because they are sane.
This can all stop as soon as the EU stops, with a stroke of the golden pen in the mighty and large hand of Trump. The God Emperor isn't escalating, he's equalising. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Apart from the dismantled nukular site, which is literally a concrete achievement, but to be fair, it's OK to not count that because Trump has silly hair.

The God Emperor has already achieved more equitable trade with the EU by sheer executive fiat.
The free trade will come when they submit fully to His will, as they shall, lest they SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE.

You, sir, are wrong about Kim and Vladimir Vladimirovich. The Stable Geniuses of NK have been talked to for half a century; it's nothing new. Putin has been talked to countless times since he took over; the only new aspect is that we saw no prior US president kowtow to him.
Again, I will hail Trump if he achieves something with the EU trade. But the evidence for that will be goods actually being shipped transatlantic without tariffs collected; so far no such thing happened. |

You believe this trade war is Trump's final position then? Not part of his style of ongoing negotiation by action?
Well, I suppose if the EU and others aren't prepared to move (and we know how self-righteous the EU is), neither will he. Who will blink first?

The carrot-and-stick choice that has been offered up till now has failed, the carrot not being sweet enough, and the stick not being big enough, resulting only in driving the two regimes in question further into a corner, only making them more entrenched. Or were you seeing positive results I had missed?
Trump is kowtowing? I think he has been quite clear in his carrot-and-stick approach. And he certainly has the bigger stick. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

And that's the thing about both Trump and Brexit. They are such big changes, that "wait and see" is really all we can do. But I do think that sooner or later, such projects would have to be tried by the West. Everyone was acknowledging before these two 'events' that the world beyond us was changing. And yet so many people seem to have wanted to carry on as before.
I don't really know if Trump or the UK's EU referendum results are the right approaches, but if it brings our dear leaders to their senses about such changes, then it can't be all bad. We can't go on burying our heads in the sand forever. Although actually, I could, cos none of it makes much difference to me, hence why I'm sitting back and enjoying the whole thing ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Yes, Trump will need at some point to nominate a successor.
