I sure hope so, but I wouldn't bet on it... Dictators always seem to have an agenda and will say anything to get whatever it is that they want... JMHO

I agree it is huge, but they are tricky

 

The six-party talks aimed to find a peaceful resolution to the security concerns as a result of the North Korean nuclear weapons program. There was a series of meetings with six participating states in Beijing:^[1]

• North Korea
• South Korea
• Japan
• United States of America
• China
• Russia

These talks were a result of North Korea withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in 2003. Apparent gains following the fourth and fifth rounds were reversed by outside events. Five rounds of talks from 2003 to 2007 produced little net progress^[2] until the third phase of the fifth round of talks, when North Korea agreed to shut down its nuclear facilities in exchange for fuel aid and steps towards the normalization of relations with the United States and Japan.^[3][4] Responding angrily to the United Nations Security Council's Presidential Statement^[5] issued on April 13, 2009 that condemned the North Korean failed satellite launch, the DPRK declared on April 14, 2009 that it would pull out of Six Party Talks and that it would resume its nuclear enrichment program in order to boost its nuclear deterrent.^[6] North Korea also expelled all nuclear inspectors from the country.^[7]

[Synopsis]

I really like the potential and prospect for peace on the Korean Peninsula. Hopefully, Kim Jong Un can effectively help the North Koreans to transition to an entirely new way of thinking and lifestyle peaceably to include providing an entirely supportive means for each North Korean to affirm and enjoy amicable relations with those, like The United States Of America Citizens, who were so systematically propagandize as ideological and otherwise mortal enemies.

 

I am wondering, “What will the leadership of the unified North Korea look like?” What will become of Kim Jong Un? Will there be similar initiatives instituted like when East and West Germany united? With Socialist Russia and Communist China as land neighbors, what will the form of the unified Korea look like? I would hope the unified Korean Government would be nearly or exactly the same as what exists now in South Korea.

 

I am also wondering, “What will happen with the obvious human rights abuses (physically and psychologically) that have been and are being committed by North Korea?”

HELL FREEZES OVER: Even Liberals Call for Trump NOBEL PRIZE Over Korea

posted by Hannity Staff 

Some members of the mainstream media took a brief hiatus from their non-stop bashing of President Trump Friday, with some going so far as to say the Commander-in-Chief deserves the Nobel Prize over his handling of North Korea’s nuclear program.

Sen. Lindsey Graham -a vocal critic of President Trump- was the first to suggest the award, saying “It’s the biggest change since the end of the hostilities.”

“We’re not there yet, but if this happens, President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize,” he added.

A prominent reporter for NBC News also mentioned the prize, writing “It is a dangerous world, dominated by outsized personalities who act aggressively on behalf of their nations, including not hesitating to threaten — and even engage in — war. Fortunately, one is President Donald Trump.

“History — and in particular, the American voter — has a way of calling forth the right person to lead at the right time,” said NBC’s Keith Koffler. “Americans can feel assured that they have chosen the right man for the moment.”

“Trump’s big, bad personality is just right for this dangerous world,” he added.

Replying to @ianbremmer

I’ve been critical of Trump foreign policy missteps in past year: TPP, Paris, too many unnecessary missteps with allies to count.

But today’s historic North/South Korea breakthrough does not happen without priority & pressure from US President.

Trump deserves full credit.
