Quote: I only squash cock roaches after I’ve actually noticed them son.
Was the Kissinger trip still an official state visit? Yes.
Was China currently involved in hostile actions against the United States, even more so than NK is now? Yes.
Would today’s media make it impossible for Obama to pull off another Kissinger Goes To China, secretly? Yes.
I take it none of those so called “degrees” you’re always banging on about were in history or political science.
Holt shit - are you ignorant. FYI: the administration is claiming the Clinton visit to North Korea was private (officially unofficial). Critics and anyone with a brain are saying it was in effect an official visit because that's how the Norks will be able to portray it in their propaganda (because he is a spouse of the current Sec of State).
China was a huge and important nation. The Norks are tiny and rogue. It's kind of like the difference between hostlie actions by the 70s USSR vs. hostile actions by 70s Libya. The ways one responds to one of these two very different stimuli has no baring on the other.
Ex-pres Clinton picking up two hostages in North Korea is like Kissinger secretly opening detante with China! LOL! This is one of the dumbest things I can remember anyone saying on XPT. I may have to put it in my sig line.
