Don, you have been busy on this thread... good for you..

But....

Putin owns trump.. even after the closed door secret meetings between them the slinking scared dog look on trump face while Putin grinned to the world was front page news world over and still laughed about..

Reagan and Gorbachev,, that was the culmination of generations of american policy, Ronnie got to do the ending.. but Gorbachev got awarded the peace prize..

Kim has gotten all he wanted out of trump and in return given nothing..

Rockets???? this is a list, count them...


October 19, 2016 Failed launch of an intermediate-range missile [19]
February 11, 2017 North Korea test-fired a Pukkuksong-2 missile over the Sea of Japan. This was the first launch of the new medium-range ballistic missile .[20][21][9]
March 6, 2017 North Korea launches four ballistic missiles from the Tongchang-ri launch site in the northwest.[22] Some flew 620 mi (1,000 km) before falling into the Sea of Japan.[23][9]
April 4, 2017 North Korea test-fired a medium-range ballistic missile from its eastern port of Sinpo into the Sea of Japan[24][25][9]
April 15, 2017 North Korea test-fired an unidentified land-based missile from the naval base in Sinpo but it exploded almost immediately after the takeoff .[26][27][28][29]
April 28, 2017 North Korea test-fired an unidentified missile from Pukchang airfield.[30][31] The missile, believed to be a medium-range[32] KN-17 ballistic missile,[30] faltered and broke apart minutes after liftoff.[32][33][34]
May 13, 2017 North Korea test-fired a Hwasong-12[35] missile from a test site in the area of Kusong.[36] The missile, later revealed to be an intermediate range ballistic missile,[37] traveled 30 minutes,[38] reached an altitude of more than 2,111.5 km, and flew a horizontal distance of 789 km (489 miles), before falling into the Sea of Japan.[37] Such a missile would have a range of at least 4,000, reaching Guam, to 6,000 km.[36][35]
May 21, 2017 North Korea test-fired another Pukkuksong-2 medium-range ballistic missile from Pukchang airfield,[39][40] which traveled approximately 500 km (300 miles) before falling into the Sea of Japan.[41] The missile landed about 350 km (217 miles) from North Korea's east coast.[41]
May 29, 2017 North Korea fired a Short Range Ballistic Missile into the Sea of Japan. It traveled 450 km.[42]
June 8, 2017 North Korea fired several missiles into the Sea of Japan. They are believed to be anti-ship missiles.[43] The South Korean military said the launches show the reclusive regime's "precise targeting capability."
June 23, 2017 North Korea tested a new rocket engine that could possibly be fitted to an intercontinental ballistic missile.[44]
July 4, 2017 North Korea tested its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) named Hwasong-14 on July 4.[45][46] It launched from the Panghyon Aircraft Factory 8 km southeast of Panghyon Airport.[47] It was aimed straight up at a lofted trajectory and reached more than 2,500 km into space.[48] It landed 37 minutes later,[49] more than 930 km from its launch site,[50] into Japan's exclusive economic zone.[51] Aiming long, the missile would have traveled 7,000–8,000 km or more, reaching Alaska, Hawaii, and maybe Seattle.[49][52][53][54][55] Its operational range would be farther, bringing a 500 kg payload to targets in most of the contiguous United States 9,700 km away.[56][57][58]
July 28, 2017 The 14th missile test carried out by North Korea in 2017 was another ICBM launched at 23:41 North Korea time (15:41 GMT) from Chagang Province in the north of the country on July 28, 2017. Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Boston, and New York appear to be within range.[59] The missile's reentry vehicle (RV) was seen by people in Japan as it entered the atmosphere and landed near the northernmost Japanese island, Hokkaido.[60][61] Analysis later revealed that the RV broke up on re-entry; further testing would be required.[62] The CIA made an assessment expecting adequate performance of the RV under the different stresses of a shallower trajectory towards the continental US.[63]
August 26, 2017 North Korea test-fired three short-range ballistic missiles from the Kangwon province on August 26. Two travel approximately 250 kilometers in a northeastern direction and one explodes immediately after launch.[64]
August 29, 2017 On August 29, 2017, at 6 AM local time, North Korea launched a ballistic missile over Northern Japan.[65] The missile's short and low trajectory and its breakup into three pieces is consistent with the failure of a heavy post-boost vehicle.[66]
September 15, 2017 North Korea launched a ballistic missile on September 15 from Sunan airfield. It reached a height of 770 km and flew a distance of 3,700 km for 17 minutes over Hokkaido before landing in the Pacific.[67]
November 28, 2017 North Korea launched an ICBM from the vicinity of Pyongsong at 1:30pm EST/3:00am Pyongyang time. The rocket traveled for 50 minutes and reached 2800 miles (4,500 km) in height, both of which were new milestones. The missile flew 600 miles (1,000 km) east into the Sea of Japan; unlike summer launches, the Japanese government did not issue cellphone alerts to warn its citizens. North Korea called it a Hwasong-15 missile. Its potential range appears to be more than 8,000 miles (13,000 km), able to reach Washington and the rest of the continental United States.[68][69] Much about the missile is unknown. The missile might have been fitted with a mock warhead to increase its range, in which case the maximum missile range while carrying a heavy warhead might be shorter than 13,000 km. Based on satellite imagery, some experts believe that North Korea may now be able to fuel missiles horizontally, shortening the delay between when a missile becomes visible to when it can be launched.[68] The rocket is believed to have broken up on re-entry into the atmosphere.[70]
November 15, 2018 North Korea tested an unidentified "ultramodern tactical weapon" with Kim Jong-un in attendance at the testing ground of the Academy of Defense Science. "[T]he test did not appear to violate the voluntary moratorium North Korea imposed on nuclear and long-range ballistic missile tests" in 2018 and "South Korean daily newspaper Chosun Ilbo on Friday [11/16/18] quoted anonymous government sources as saying that North Korea had tested multiple-rocket launchers this month", per the New York Times.[71]
May 4, 2019 North Korea launched several short-range projectiles from the vicinity of Wonsan on the country's east coast,[72] one possibly a Russian Iskander missile which can make course corrections during its flight.[73]
May 9, 2019 North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles[73] from the vicinity of Sinori in North Pyongan Province (launch area also, in another source, identified as Kusong[73]) at 4:29 p.m. and 4:49 p.m. local time.[74]
July 25, 2019 North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles, believed to be of a new design.[75]
July 31, 2019 North Korea launched "several" short-range ballistic missiles.[76]
August 2, 2019 North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles at 2:59 a.m. and 3:23 a.m. local time.[77]
August 24, 2019 North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles from Sondok in South Hamgyong Province. Both fell in the Sea of Japan.[78]
September 10, 2019 North Korea launched two short-range projectiles from Kaechon shortly after proposing to resume denuclearization negotiations with the US. Both the projectiles fell into the sea off the North's east coast.[79]
October 2, 2019 North Korea test-fired a new-type submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) in the waters off Wonsan. South Korea's military said the missile, which was dubbed Pukguksong-3, flew about 450 kilometers and reached a maximum altitude of 910 kilometers, making it an intermediate-range ballistic missile. It fell into the exclusive economic zone of Japan off Shimane Prefecture. North Korea said the launch was successful.[80][81]
November 28, 2019 North Korea test-launches two “short-range projectiles”[82]. Rocket exhaust was visible from Russia [83]

I was using your figures. I don't really know what years Obama had the most or least # of farms lost but know precisely how many were lost under Trump. If you have the specifics on how many per year were lost by Obama I would greatly appreciate the facts.

Hug,,, that is just not true..

Don, you are way off on this one...

This is part of our history with NK and the end of President Obama negotiations..A continuation of the failure of NK to honor agreements from the end of active war in the 50s.

2012
North Korean leaders attend a parade honoring the seventieth birthday of the recently deceased Kim Jong-il.

February 29, 2012
Nuclear Operations Briefly Suspended
Following a meeting between the United States and North Korea in Beijing, North Korea commits to suspend its uranium enrichment operations in Yongbyon, invite IAEA monitors, and carry out a moratorium on long-range missile and nuclear testing. In exchange, the United States is to provide tons of food aid. The deal falls apart after North Korea launches a rocket and displays road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles at a military parade.

President Obama gave billions of $$ in war aid to Ukraine, but not the missiles which trump belatedly gave and now sit in warehouses in western Ukraine..

President Obama never went on an "apology tour"...

It was the military strategy formed during President Obama terms which was used to end ISIS. then trump pulled out of Turkeys way and all of ISIS remnant prisoners walked away and began reforming. Look for more terror strikes soon..

Our soldiers did not come home. After tossing our allies the Kurds under the bus for Turkey to kill, our troops now are rent a cop for the oil wells of the ME... not coming home, still dying in the sand..

NO, but I have driven through it..

I would name the lake, but I have a wife who would kill me and hang me by the toes for revealing any personal information on any part of the internet..

Her sister taught school in Wisconsin women prison on had more scary tails to tell my wife then I knew existed.. so my little wife is very extreme about keeping information away from the internet..

So I remain a slave to other peoples worries..

permafrost Loc: Minnesota

Lou, I looked under several wordings to find that information including "farm bankruptcies under Obama" and all that I got were overall policy articles and farm news..

I can not see how such a simple question should be hard to find an answer..

It must be that i am not asking the question properly..

I will try again later..

Leach Lake, Stony Lake, Lot of lakes up there. Beautiful country.

permafrost Loc: Minnesota

Ah yes, I was trying to locate it in my mind... and Leech lake was at the top of the list. near Walker and whatever that highway is..

Leech Lake is/was one of my favorite lakes, it is very large and has great topography. both for viewing and the fish..

Sunset on leech lake, I like the rocky parts of the lake best but sunsets are always fine

That is beautiful.

Back in the 60s and 70s I owned 40 acres a mile out of Hackensack. Never spent a winter up there, but made several trips in the summer and fall. Finally sold it due to the fact that at that point and time I ended up in New Mexico and Hackensack was too far away.

Kim wants attention so he can get free stuff from the world and most importantly, to maintain his power in N Korea. Kim is also paranoid ad thinks he has to have the threat of a nuke to prevent being attacked. Problem with him is that he actually thinks we might attack him without provocation. Thus, soon I think, we will have to attack him without provocation or we will come up with some. It is a country which needs to be set free and reunited with its southern brothers. Kim wants that too but with him in charge. Never happen. If Kim would declare the border open and allow full freedom of travel between the two countries their might actually ba a chance he could retain his power and N Korea become a functioning friend of the South. Again, but or Kim.

Ever wonder why we haven't gone in and just shot the bastard??

Frosty, you are a master at revisionist history. My facts and truth cannot compete with your endless distortions of events.

But I do envy your retirement property.
