Neither of these articles suggest that. The first one is an "in case" thing, and the second one means they prefer meeting with S Korea to meeting with the US, as that's already happened several times.

We also leaned there was actually a few things happening before this that lead to the cancellation
North korea not answering phones after repeated contact attempts, they also just never showed up at a meeting for top officials from each country that was supposed to happen in Singapore to iron out the details on the June 12 summit

They didn't start beefing over nothing. The Trump administration started doing victory laps on TV as soon as the meeting was declared, acting like they got everything they wanted out of a deal that hadn't been made yet. Idiocy.

That along with North Korea threatening both South Korea and the US within the last week lead to it.
After Pence threatened N Korea, you mean. Convenient to ignore that the people who canceled the meeting also helped blow it up.

Say, wanna buy a truckload of 'commemorative coins' (LOL), super cheap?? Kim is playing the orange oaf life a fiddle, for all to see! "Nobel Prize", can you even IMAGINE?! :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

Glad we're back to meeting with adversaries after Trump declared a trade war on our allies. I'd say one step forward, two steps back, but the two steps back always comes first with this administration.

"Administration", lol. You must've meant 'clan of mafioso grifters'. Between his detached, guilt-soaked ramblings & sundowning, I sincerely doubt if he could even recall what he had for breakfast.

Ugh, another embarrassment on the global stage. (G7 cringefest, anyone?) Lil' Kim played the dotard, yet again, for all the world to see. Once we're rid of the demented oaf and the White House has been adequately bleached & scrubbed, it's time for the fatboy to meet Franz Ferdinand.

Regardless of what your view on President Trump is, the road is being paved for North Korea to come out of isolation and stop killing and starving its people.

Honestly, Trump could ban guns, create universal healthcare, free college education, promote gender fluidity, and I’m pretty sure you’d still bitch and moan incessantly.

Why can’t you be objective here? Much is to be gained for the interest of world peace. Is he an asshole? Yes. Is he divisive? Yes. But this is an accomplishment regardless. As it pans out, the Doomsday Clock gets pushed farther back. How is that bad?

He'd cure cancer, and they'd complain about him putting doctors out of work. :P It's fun to watch them bitch though.

What accomplishment? Trump didn't get a guarantee on anything, and he made a lot of key concessions. He went into this promising the world and came out with his tail between his legs.

We all know that people really bash Trump for not being a liberal, another Clinton or another Obama.
Dude, Trump's not even another GWB. People bash Trump because he acts like a fucking toddler. Competent world leaders piss him off because they call him out for it, then he runs to little Kim for solace and gives away every bargaining chip the US had. Sad.

People hated GWB for not being liberal or having liberal beliefs, so...

Yeah, it wasn't the trillions in wasted spending on pointless wars. Or the economic crash/recession caused by regulatory repeal. Not at all. /s

Trump's trying to speedrun that second part and add tariffs to the mix.

Shut up you sexist bigot, IT WAS HER TURN!

Blah blah blah blah. Clinton can blow it. Try again.

And yet when Obamacare cost the economy 800 billion dollars, no one batted an eye. Talk about a shitty failure of a healthcare system. If Obamacare is so "affordable" why can't I afford it?

The "blue wave" is coming, and we're going to impeach Drumpf, and all his sexist cis white male bigots! Then it'll finally be her turn! You will be saying Madame President! Better watch out, Mueller is coming for Drumpf and his Nazi party!

I'm not playing the "whataboutism" game, there's no comparing GWB or Trump to Obama, a competent adult.

This is denial, but it’s whatever. I won’t discuss politics with you anymore because you refuse to acknowledge any points outside of your own personal views. I think you’re a good guy, I really do and I enjoy our conversations on gaming. But even as a center-left individual, I have trouble finding common ground with you when it comes to Trump. He sucks, so I’ll take the good where I can. Hope needs fuel every once in awhile.
