Dennis Rodman is starting to really just piss me off. The guy talks shit like there is no tomorrow in his attempt at worm diplomacy. Since this guy went to North Korea he has been talking endlessly about how North Korea does not really have the desire to go to war with the US. What exactly makes Rodman an expert on foreign policy? I can respect his simplistic view on how things should be done but I think Rodman is forgetting a few things. There is an enormous amount of red tape that accompanies politics and I seriously doubt that Kim Jong Un is really going to listen to Rodman when it comes to matters of international diplomacy.
Rodman is now attacking Obama and frankly this is the part that bothers me. I think that it's commendable that he is trying to go back to North Korea in order to help free Kenneth Bae but the way he's going about it he's coming off like a total jackass. The fact that he talks to Kim Jong Un doesn't mean that Un is willing to do him a solid which would in turn into a PR nightmare for him. Rodman may have the right idea but this is more complicated because there are politics involved. Un has his advisors and they will voice whatever they need to voice in order to Keep North Korea's image as a badass military regime.
Rodman should try subtle instead of making every possible move into a media spectacle because this isn't the type of situation that calls for his press whore brand of entertainment.
