No clear i said
Last year the world went through a period of uncertainty when the ruler of N. Korea began to let off his fire work collection.
The threat of an all out nuclear war was at the highest since the time of the 'Bay of Pigs' incident
The guy in NK gave the impression that he had no qulams what so ever of starting a war with USA, or any one else he fancied at the time.
World markets went through a tough time and concerns of imminent disaster ruled the media.
But according to the latest news that is now behind us.
With the assistance of China Trump and the 'Rocket Man' are to meet in May.
A meeting we are reliably informed to deal with the problem of nuclear prolification.
Maybe there will be a resolution to ease the overall threat of war.
But the fact is this may not be the case as information coming out of USA today said the meeting between these two is to discuss hair styles and where the best place to get a hair cut.


Happy daze John in Oz.

By the time the conversation has been translated and looked at for any misleading statements or words then double checked perused and answers qualified as to authenticity John and they were finally through the admiration stage of each other’s hair styles, most would give up and go home. I certainly hope that some concrete answers can be achieved, he is or must be the only president to have got so far with NK. The history teachers and the ex oilmen not to mention the ex military didn’t achieve any better. So Trump hair and bravado has got somewhere even if it proves to be just mutual admiration. As the world waits and wonders they are probably sampling the passable Chinese whiskey which is just about palatable. Cheers salutez campagni down the neck and up yours in Cantonese American and various other world wide toasts they will know them all. That’s after the drinks have been checked out wonder what the fatality rate is for their wine tasters. Cheers JWS.

I should imagine confusion will occur when they sit down to eat. Rocket man will ask Trumpet do you prefer Labrador or New Foundland, Trumpet will likely say don't know never been.

The Orient is still very inclined to suffer “loss of face”, that was one thing to be wary of with a Chinese crew. Never make them lose face. The same with Arabic nations of a certain religion you did not touch their head which was sacred. I would imagine most diplomats when they are chosen for certain areas of the world are hopefully trained in the etiquette of the country they are going to be working in, if not they are in strife before they ever start.
