I guess I am asking about implications. How, or how will this potentially change the US’s standing in the world?

Is Putin getting his money’s worth?

It hurts. It’s another example of how America has dropped from a leader to an outcast. Sure, the Trumpies say this was a success and we showed the Europeans who was boss, but the fact is that the US is an embarrassment.

This was a massive failure of leadership for the US/

add to the long list of things we apparently can do without—things like a manufacturing or industrial sector, we can heap on such trivialities as allies or friendly trading partners We can probably do without NATO as well. Putin must be grinning himself silly.

Trump stole all the news coverage. Couldn’t get any real news on G7 meeting.

He is not Presidential material.

Even Fox News called him a “Dictator”

I don’t think it’s funny. He’s in WAY over his head, in almost every international meeting. His diplomacy skills, are non-existant. He admitted to no research before the summit with NK. Doesn’t even a novice negotiator know that this gives up some respect/power, on their side, by saying such things?

The North Koreans, will have studied Trump extensively. And ,unlike Trump, they are probably pretty aware of the situation. This is an historic opportunity to begin relations with NK, in hopes of freeing an unknown number of people in prison camps. If anyone thinks 70 years of conflict, and distrust, along the world’s most heavily defended border will be completely figured out in Trump’s first meeting, I can’t believe that.

Some decent, honest dialogue with the powers that be, would be a great start. I think realistically, we should hope to simply open a line of communication, and start talking about realistic goals/stipulations, for lifting sanctions.

The Pentagon is about to fall over in disbelief but don’t think there will be a coup

True, not funny.
While those of us who see the direction things are taking can be happy for what will be numerous improvements, I am sorry so many people are stressed.

As Angela Merkel put it “sobering and somewhat depressing.”
