It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Didn't Trump have a moment where people thought he might actually help Korea unify?

yea during trump's presidency it was the 2018 USA-DPRK summit that led to a De-escalation between both korean govs and the USA, which led to a summit between both koreas and then another USA-DPRK one in vietnam 2019, and then one with all 3 in the DMZ later that year

the talks didnt led to much, i think most santions stood in place, the DPRK said later that trump only did them as a political move, but if we believe what Moon Chung-in who was the Special Advisor for the then president of the ROK the talks mostly failed due to John Bolton and allies that wanted a hard disarmament followin the libyan model which the DPRK diplomats where fully against
