Trump meets Kim Jong-Un for peace talks and liberals are displeased

‘We will be stopping the war games - they’re very provocative, and it will save us a lot of money. I want to bring the troops home, but that’s not in the equation right now’. - Donald Trump

Trump is an ass, sure. I loathe him for many reasons, not least his actions in Palestine. But if he is being remotely sincere in this statement, during a press conference following his meeting with the North Korean leader, then it is a big step forward, and undoubtably a 'fuck you' to the military-industrial complex.

Following this statement by Trump, CNN promptly began with the criticism, once again revealing themselves as mouthpieces for the arms dealers who advertise with them.

It isn't just CNN. Across the board, liberal pundits and their followers are reacting in disdain or disapproval at this meeting, many seeing it as further evidence that Trump is doing Putin's bidding. Liberals have gone insane! Someone really needs to explain to them that it is possible to oppose Trump AND oppose going down a path towards nuclear war. And it is also just possible, that this isn't all some conspiracy to benefit the Kremlin.

But unfortunately, it is hard for liberals to seriously oppose Trump, because the reality is, that there isn't much of a difference between him and their liberal political idols; the Nancy Pelosi's etc. Both are neoliberal corporatists. To oppose Trump on matters that really matter is to oppose their idols as well. And, as liberals (in my experience) tend to be irrational ideologues, I don't see this happening.

What's more, recently the Democrats actually voted for a higher military budget than Trump. So maybe it shouldn't come as a surprise that liberals now appear more militaristic than Trump!

John Bolton is probably loving all this commentary by the liberal media; the love-in between liberals and Neocons continues!

Whatever you think of Trump. Whatever you think of Kim. I think this is a very positive step forward. With America’s history of aggression, diplomacy needs to be praised. Let’s just hope it’s sincere on America’s side, and that North Korea can finally sign a peace treaty and reconnect with the outside world. Who knows what’s going on behind the scenes; maybe the skeptics are actually right to an extent, and we should not take this meeting remotely seriously? Though, with China and Russia’s backing, NK should be protected from America’s wrath whatever happens.
