I will say this. If the two Koreas and their hostility and the peninsula is de-nuclearized, Trump will deserve a large amount of credit

This would be the biggest thing in a half century; easily Nobel Prize level. If NoKo de-nuclearizes and there is a peace treaty between north and south, Trump should get it, for sure. Whether he will or not is another thing altogether.

China has always been the string puller on this one.

If it comes to pass, I expect a u-turn on our recent china trade sanctions

Agreed. But there might still be better trade agreements.

Yes, moving towards balanced trade is critical, an issue too long ignored.

I also don’t think they would give him the Nobel, it would probably be joint between North and South leaders, though Trump is deserving of recognition. Too much crow for that crowd to eat.

North Korea is not going to denuclearize (they saw what happened to Libya), and any Nobel coming out of this would be jointly shared by Kim and Moon like Theo520 said.

I don’t know how that happens though, with Kim Jung Un not being prosecuted for crimes against humanity.

That isn’t a problem unless the US makes it a problem. The US partnered with ‘Uncle Joe’ Stalin. He was a much worse mass murderer. US moral standards are completely subjective. A big obstacle to peace is if the US, the only country to nuke innocent people, wants to make it an issue. The US could prolong the war, since the US lives on war.
 
I actually think it had to do with that covert meeting between mike pompayo, maybe the deep state give nk and ultimatium and not a good one at that. But i do believe that nk might be deceptive in the long term.

You’re probably right. A Nobel committee that is sufficiently unserious as to give Obama a prize for doing nothing at all, is unlikely to give Trump one for perhaps saving the world from a nuclear exchange.
 
I heard on the news that after the meeting between North Korea and South Korea, they both decided to get arid of all their nuclear weapons, and to end the war. I hope that’s true.
 
North Korea noted that the USA annihilated a couple of hundred Russian mercenaries in February.

Russian Mercs: Battle With U.S. Was 'a Total F***up'

Recorded phone calls suggest around 215 Russian mercenaries were killed by U.S. artillery and airstrikes in a battle in Syria on the night of February 7.

North Korea didn’t want to be next.
 
Why do you think that after collapsing his own mountain, Un suddenly, after a couple of months of the USA killing Russian mercenaries, has pulled his own plug?

[Connect the dots.]

[Like … all of a sudden???]

We’ll probably not know that he really is doing it for awhile, and we won’t know the reasons for it for a long time. One thing about the mountain. If it really collapsed, it probably resulted in earthquakes and radiation release. As little as I think China cares about its people, widespread belief that NoKo got them irradiated could be damaging to the Peking regime. There might be more (and worse) to that story than we know.
 
Let us hope that this is the beginning of the end of the Korean War. It makes sense to me that N Korea looks to modernize, and potentially become more similar to China. As former Chinese Primer Deng Xiaoping said, making money is good.

Mere speculation.

they are already providing cheap/slave labor to China, if they move to modernize the investments from the south will be HUGE. Their labor will still be dirt cheap but they’ll keep far more out of the exchange.

Duh, that is mostly what we do here 😜
What matters when we are clear it’s our speculation and not fact.

As for the talks, I hope they result in more than just words. Perhaps this time they will.

I suspect the cost of their venture is just too much of a drain. If the facility is destroyed, they’d have start fresh. People involved may also be pushing back after a major failure.

Except Monte is putting it across as fact and not as speculation IMHO
