This could actually work.
Dennis Rodman Offers to ‘Straighten Things Out’ Between Trump and Kim Jong-un
-
Donald Trump is president and Dennis Rodman is going to negotiate a treaty between N Korea and the States. I'm trying to pin point the exact date I accidentally slipped into an alternate reality.
-
-
@antipodean just what I was about to say
-
Is "Rodman on a peace mission" even half as crazy as Obama pushing "Seth Rogen to provoke hostilities"...?
-
I still find it highly amusing, scary and instructive that Obama and Hillary finger-wagged and condemned the filmmakers of "The Innocence of Muslims" as irresponsibly provoking violence, warning about consequences of cultural insensitivity and blaming the film for the Benghazi fiasco (a total lie, as it turned out), yet out of the other side of their mouths being shock-shock-shocked!! that "The Interview" might also be culturally insensitive and have consequences provoking a tyrant that they have long inferred is thin-skinned, insane and has his finger on the button of an atomic bomb that is three-to-five times bigger than Hiroshima's Little Boy bomb. Do as I say; not as I do. Amusing. Scary. Instructive.

An interesting read here that provides some background as to why expecting China to help sort shit out with NK is not as straightforward as some think.

People in neighbouring Japan have been warned by the national broadcaster NHK to take shelter.

C*nts could at least fire them at a reasonable time. It's fucking rude.
-
Would it help if America promised to buy the oil of China that they currently send to N.Korea? I mean telling China to give up a source of revenue for no reward (given NK are never going to attack China) is probably not going to work.
-
if it weren't as serious as this could be, it would actually be funny!

haha, if this is what keeps his people thinking he is not bowing to US pressure, then great!
-
Struggling to see any point to Trumps tweets about this
Not saying anything any adult in the world doesn't already know since the 80s - the US Military (not Trump) will annihilate any country (other than Russia China) that strikes US soil in about 48 hours. No need to publicly brag, and that's all he's doing.
Feel for the nations around Korea that didn't vote for this shit stirrer -

It’s almost like magic. (The Art Of The Deal.)
-
@salacious-crumb nah. That doesn't wash because North Korea already knows what will happen if they bomb the US. They have private communication outlining that.
Why the need to skite (deter) so publicly?
Why send all us people on twitter this deterrence message?

He’s sending it to the people of North Korea (and China). True, Dear Leader Rocket Man will doubtless do everything possible to deter his people from getting that message, and unless you have a problem with that, maybe that’s the whole persuasive point. The sick pathetic repressive North Korea regime that starves it’s people of food & human rights isn’t going to be brought down by missiles; it’ll be brought down by trade and internal pressure. If insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, then maybe Donald is trying a sane alternative to break the cycle. It’s a shame FDR didn’t have twitter account to communicate directly to the German people in the mid-1930s.

You might be right in who he is sending the message to and in the case of China it might even be worthwhile. But the NK population has no say and cannot influence the Dear Leader. To my mind it is still worthwhile sending the message because what does it cost? Though I would still say that he could have sent the message in much better terms.
