    A massive story in response to the world wide fear of nuclear catastrophe etc. Why are no news agencies reporting this?

    It's not even a back page story.

    It's like it didn't happen...

    It was never a story to begin with. NK have been throwing shapes for over half a century.
    It was hot air by Kim enhanced by more hot air from Trumpy.
    Inevitable conclusion.

    It was on the radio today and RTE news tonight, how much coverage of a non event are you seeking?

    China and North Korea purposes are fairly well aligned.
    Japan and China are opponents and if their Heads of State met it
    would be big news. North Korea has issues with Japan, South Korea and
    USA.

    Kim and Don's meeting is way more important. Don fails to secure a deal, people like John Bolton will be telling Trump to strike now or it is too late.

    We can't give them attention - that's what they want. That's letting the communists win.

    I like Kim's train.

    Big 1950s looking diesel loco. Supposedly it's bomb proof.

    He was summoned. The new Supreme Leader of China wants to know why everybody is suddenly friends and what Kims Masterplan when he meets Trump. All the lines are tapped so they had to do it face to face.
