The first step on a long journey is just as vital as the last one. |

Unfortunately, Trump has a habit of putting the boot in on his first step! |

I wonder how much all parties really want to seek peace and how much is just buying time...... |

The North Koreans have always been willing to talk if they think they can get something out of the talks. They have never once followed up talks by keeping to their undertakings. Several times serious initiatives towards peace made by South Korea have been destroyed by N Korea. On past form Olympic dilplomacy will go the same way. |

I agree about the South China Sea, Rollo. |

I wouldn't say the north Koreans have always been willing to talk if they think they can get something out of the talks, otherwise the fact they've said they'll talk wouldn't be news worthy!! |

Continuing Satellite imagery shows China is gradually taking over the South China Sea. |

Which would explain why aircraft carriers are sailing in the waters. |

I think many of us said a while back we wouldn't be surprised if the idiots on both sides did something stupid, not sure any of us put a time limit on it...so if it's been six months of "peace" great but that's because they knew the Worlds press would be looking closely to the area....now the games are over lets see who knows.... |

Unstable dictatorships & Islamic terrorist groups can cause consternation worldwide & many sleepless nights for political leaders. |

My worry with Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un - which this thread is about - is that they both have a vast amount of 'growing up' to do :-( |

Looking forward to listening to 'Analysis' on BBC Radio 4 this evening, the topic under discussion concerns how dictators survive in office. |

I am always intrigued by how they become dictators. |
