Let's not be hasty. It will depend on BOTH parties KEEPING their commitments..........and not falling back to their own versions of unpredictable conduct.

this is not a magic show........it is reality.

Isn't it interesting that BOTH "dear leaders " are playing it to the hilt.


Playing a hunch....... I kinda think this will work..........or at least make a good start.

time will tell. Not to worry about cudos to Trump........he will grant himself PLENTY of them.........as is his style. That is just him. Because he does this ...... giving him credit ..even when due becomes meaningless.

Um. . . no, it doesn't. If Trump gets a solid agreement with good verification protocols, he deserves the Prize.

Just like Obama deserved the prize for setting up a sound nuclear weapons reduction regime. The subsequent cheating doesn't nullify what he did.

You do have a point. Given that the S.Kora leadership played a significant role..... it should be acknowledged too. IF all this comes to pass. as is hped. the biggest effort / CHANGE is on N Korea's' part.....and that too should be recognized.

but let's not get ahead of things. Plus the Trump regime has a credibility issue. A LOT of variables in this situation.

Again ..... this Korea stuff is all media hype in order to take the voters' mind off of cuts to social programs taking place in Congress this very day.

Of course North Korea is prepared to shut down the testing facility inside a mountain. It just recently tested a 100kt weapon which caused a 5.7 earthquake. The site is destroyed already.

Lets just wait and see how long it will take for North Korea to allow the United Nations inspectors in to inspect all nuclear facilities.

I would bet that Trump and The Clowns will all be gone from office by the time inspections take place.

And remember .... Iranian negotiations actually began in 2003 and then the P5+1 in 2013 and signatures in April 2015.

Hi! JLM

It is what might be falling from the sky that I am concerned with and not that the sky itself is falling.

North Korea to ‘close’ mountain nuclear test site after collapse revelation, unify time zone with Seoul

The last five of Pyongyang’s six nuclear tests have all been carried out under Mount Mantap at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site in North Korea’s northwest

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has pledged to close the country’s Punggye-ri nuclear test site in May and let US and South Korean experts and media confirm the closure, Seoul officials said on Sunday, as US President Trump pressed for total denuclearisation before his meeting with Kim.

North Korea to

They will likely Unify with the south now and do the same or similar to what Germany has done.
Rumor has it globalist companies are lining up to do business in such a low income environment.

Meanwhile ...... as the media continues to gossip onward, in the legislature and state capitals, laws and regulations are being manipulated with.

Every week the media must come up with another "Villan" and perhaps one more "Value" to distract everyone from even being quite aware of what laws and regulations are being discussed within the Congress and where the leadership are creating a police state, as the economy continues to crumble.

Art of the deal.

Yep!

North Korea says its harsh rhetoric was tit-for-tat but claims it's still willing to 'sit' with U.S.

Regardless, Kim said, "we are making it clear that we are willing to sit down any time and in any way to solve the problem."

Kim Kye Gwan said that Kim Jong Un had "made every effort to make the meeting with President Trump a good start" and that "we are willing to give the U.S. the time and opportunity with our big and open heart."

On Friday morning, Trump said he welcomed the "warm and productive" statement from North Korea.
