Tucker Carlson joins Trump in North Korea, John Bolton exiled to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (Video)
RT CrossTalk host Peter Lavelle and The Duran’s Alex Christoforou discuss the media reaction to US President Trump’s historic entrance into the North Korean side of the DMZ. Fox’s Tucker Carlson was at the event with the US delegation accompanying President Trump.
Trump became the first sitting American president to ever step foot in North Korea, and while Carlson was there covering (and maybe even advising) the President, missing from the historic diplomatic moment was uber war hawk, national security adviser John Bolton.
Bolton was dispatched to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Erdogan accepts Syria DMZ off-ramp, in deal with Putin (Video)
The deal struck in Sochi averts a large scale Syria’s offensive on Idlib, as Turkey gives it guarantee to monitor what will effectively become a demilitarized zone.

Putin and Erdogan Plan Syria-Idlib DMZ
As I recommended in a post on September 10th, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan jointly announced on September 17th, “We’ve agreed to create a demilitarized zone between the government troops and militants before October 15. The zone will be 15-20km wide,” which compares to the Korean DMZ’s 4-km width.

South Korea and the Art of Collaboration
If raw, naked propaganda makes you sick, stay away from South Korea (ROK)!
While the Western brain-conditioning machine wants you to believe that it is actually the North that is successfully indoctrinating its citizens, those of us who have worked on both sides of the border (or on both sides of the “DMZ”) know much better. And if they don’t tell, they lie!
