President Trump's finest moment so far had been in the buildup of American forces in the waters around North Korea during the early part of 2017. Three carrier strike groups showed Kim Jong-un that he wasn't dealing with Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton anymore.
South Korea is very similar to us in that it is no longer the God-fearing powerhouse that it once was. It also has gone the way of the snowbird that flies south to avoid the harsh reality of winter. (folks this is an abstract analogy....I'd be planted on Siesta Key typing this right now for the three hard winter months if I had the money) The continued development of nuclear weaponry in North Korea is a new threat to the United States....they can now reach our shores....it's not new to the South Koreans....as the communists could always reach Seoul....so in their defense....a potential war with North Korea means a lot more to them than to us. They have a Clinton type of president....and President Trump had to deal with that.
The mere thought of such a war was strong enough that most of America was extremely concerned. Prayers with pleading were being offered....where pleading does not usually accompany our prayers anymore; but then the pleading....the grasping of the hem of the Lord's cloak....faded....as an announcement was made that President Trump and Kim Jong-un would meet in Singapore. South Korea's President Moon Jae-in said that a 'miracle' had occurred as he acknowledged that Kim Jong-un was eager to meet with President Trump....whose finest moment then began to fade.
Is it even possible today to apply the same pressure that was applied a year ago? Even if it is....North Korea has had a year to further prepare. Communist China has had a year to continue to build up its military position and plan....and Putin has had a year to to meet with both communist nations for possible cooperation.
A reality show summit was not the best idea. Smiles and handshakes with a man like Kim Jong-un was not wise....it only served to legitimize him in the world's eyes. President Trump demanded to first meet privately with the North Korean dictator....without the President's advisers present....just as he had done with Vladimir Putin. This move was strange as it sowed even more concern and distrust as to President's Trump's deal making apart from the full awareness of the people experienced in dealing with communists.
So we now have another summit coming up.....in the worst place imaginable.....Hanoi. Is there no one in the President's inner circle who could have reminded him that 58,000 Americans gave their lives a war brought on by the leaders in that city? So we will once again have flags draped everywhere....('Old Glory' and the red star)....probably with a huge bust of Ho Chi Minh hovering overhead somewhere....with a smiling Kim Jong-un promising great things.
Folks....having reiterated all of this from past posts....the primary issue is not North Korea itself....as important as that is....it is more that the North Korean problem is coming to a head....along with a number of other equally dangerous problems coming to a head right now. We should be talking about these things on conservative talk radio....but it's all been Jussie Smollett....whoever that may be. Everything emanating from the Left is dealing with impeaching President Trump while promoting absurd grotesque candidates for president. Everything on our side is pointing out how absurdly grotesque these candidates are....as if we don't already know that....and this as a storm is coming upon humanity such as there has never been anything comparable to in the history of humanity....save one....Noah's flood.
Whether or not we ever get a President Elizabeth Warren.....or whether or not Donald Trump is impeached.....once again as important as these things are....are not the single-most most pressing issues. The most pressing issue is that God has....as of now....forsaken us....big fancy mega-churches and all....booming economic statistics notwithstanding....we are undone....woe to us....we tried to do it on our own....throwing God's name around as if it were a magic word....but are left as were Hophni and Phinehas who thought that the mere presence of the Ark of the Covenant would secure victory in battle....but who perished....the Ark being captured....and the news of which that brought on the death of Eli....and led to the naming of a child....Ichabod...."the glory has departed!"
