Well...
The US diplomatic corp is basically a failure.
https://www.americanthinker.com/art..._the_state_department_is_a_gift_to_trump.html
94% of diplomats’ political contributions go to Democrats. They live in a no-conservatives cocoon. State Department employees see Donald Trump as an enemy and they’re not going to support him. Even if they wanted to support him, they don’t have the fire that it takes to negotiate with rogue states. When it’s time to fight, their training makes them weak. Unlike a Manhattan real estate developer, they’ve never had skin in the game. They lack negotiating skills.
And so their opposition to the President is a gift. They do not wish to support him, and he can simply ignore them.

State department sounds like London. He did say in an interview with P. Morgan that he sees nobody in the dems on the horizon who is capable or a threat and eluded to a new air force one being built and wishing a part term in it.
I thought the Putin summit was very difficult for him and it showed. Trained killers have that effect.

Canadian surveillance plane buzzed by Chinese off North Korea, DND reveals
A Canadian military surveillance aircraft monitoring United Nations sanctions was harassed in international airspace off North Korea by the Chinese military — part of "a pattern of behaviour that's inappropriate," Canada's top military commander said Wednesday.
The incident involving a CP-140 Aurora, which has since returned home, took place in October as allied nations monitored the sea lanes for cargo ships and tankers intent on violating embargoes imposed on North Korea by the UN Security Council.
"We have been interfered with on our flights in the area and been challenged inappropriately in international airspace," Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jonathan Vance said in a year-end interview with CBC News.
The Chinese, he said, flew too close to the sophisticated maritime patrol planes, used improper radio procedure and "inappropriate language."

Seems to me that if we wanted him taken out, it would had been done by now using a number of ways that would make it appear to be an act of God.
The government within a government is not partial to the USA but is mostly all major governments.
I am sure there is some plan in place where he is some part of that.
A sinister plan or something else. If something else then I must say even though they may think they are paving a very nice road they may want to be wary of just where that road will lead them while keeping in mind...appearances can be deceiving.
A sign post ahead...no not the "twilight Zone"...HELL!

North Korea's Kim: I don't want my children to bear burden of nuclear arms - report
HANOI (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un told the U.S. secretary of state he did not want his children to live with the burden of nuclear weapons, a former CIA officer involved in high-level diplomacy over the North's weapons was quoted as saying on Saturday.
Kim made the rare personal comments to Mike Pompeo during a visit to the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, in April last year to lay the groundwork for the historic first summit between the North's leader and U.S. President Donald Trump in June in Singapore, former CIA official Andrew Kim said, South Korea's Yonhap news agency and the Wall Street Journal reported.
“'I’m a father and a husband. And I have children'," Andrew Kim quoted the North Korean leader as telling Pompeo, when asked whether he was willing to end his nuclear program.
"'And I don’t want my children to carry the nuclear weapon on their back their whole life.’ That was his answer," Andrew Kim told a lecture on Friday at Stanford University’s Asia Pacific Research Center, where he is a visiting scholar.

As outrageous and cynical as this is, it has always been the norm for communist regimes.
