It's just the body language. You don't need to be an expert on body language to see what's happening.

And Theresa May got to hold his hand because he has an issue with steps (except AirForce One)

Trump pull.
Macron feint. When you go towards someone but veer at the last moment.
Trump push through. When you come from behind and push someone away so you can be in front.

Jon Schlinder @ 20comittee suggested tonight that the IC think that Putin pulls strings in NK not China. His theory is that every time things get too hot a for Trump NK ping out a missile to distract. I think that's a step too far for me and in the land of conspiracy theories. BUT

What about that very odd tweet about NK and Russia not being happy?

In that context, it starts to look a lot different and not such a crazy theory.

I don't want to think of the implications of Schlinder is right, so conspiracy theory it is staying.

cozietoesie · 29/05/2017 01:02

It's about six steps too far for me. I think he's just wrong.

Isn't it plain unfortunate that Moon's official residence is called the 'Blue House'? Wink

Nice reflections on what would have been JFK's 100th birthday. Bit of an antidote to the tone around #45.

Yep - just "add more dollars", or in government-speak, 'budget greater funds' - unless he thinks they can just print more money.

I suggest that we add more dollars to Healthcare and make it the best anywhere. ObamaCare is dead - the Republicans will do much better!

From North Korean Official news website, re: missile launch:

'The respected Supreme Leader was told about the test program for new weapon system at the observation post before ordering the start of its test-fire.

Watching the successful test, he said ardently:

"Seeing such a perfect new-type anti-aircraft guided weapon system, I miss the General more a lot. That weapon system is a posthumous one the development of which had been guided by him with much effort since the start. The General would have been very glad to see this perfect weapon system as he had put his heart and soul into the work to bolster up the state anti-aircraft capability until the last moments of his life."

He told KPA commanding officers and officials of the academy that the weapon system's efficiency to detect and track targets has remarkably improved and its hitting accuracy has also increased, compared with those of last year. Some defects in the weapon system, discovered last year, were perfectly overcome to stand the test, he said, adding: This weapon system, whose operation capability has been thoroughly verified, should be mass-produced to deploy in all over the country like forests so as to completely spoil the enemy's wild dream to command the air, boasting of air supremacy and weapon almighty.

He set forth highly important tasks for the strategy for development of modern anti-aircraft guided weapon system of Korean style.'

He's invoking Kim Jong Il?

The Fake News Media works hard at disparaging & demeaning my use of social media because they don't want America to hear the real story!

TheClaws · 29/05/2017 01:38

Cozie, sorry, I didn't make my NK quote clear I guess - it's a grab from a story on the official NK news site. I didn't want to link to it due to risk of web nasties.

TheClaws · 29/05/2017 01:38

So no, he not invoking anybody, but he sure is dumping this morning.

TheClaws · 29/05/2017 02:13

Sorry again, Cozie, I misunderstood you. Kim Jong Un does refer to Kim Jong Il frequently in official communications, I've noticed. Whether that respect is real, or faux for the population, who can say?

Lweji · 29/05/2017 08:38

Yep - just "add more dollars", or in government-speak, 'budget greater funds' - unless he thinks they can just print more money.

That's exactly what he thinks. He's said so before.
