Fantastic to see the end of the Korean War!

History...right here!
Talk about kissing ass! The Korean really know how to play Trump’s mega ego.
North or South Korean?
I wonder what the truth is. Trump may be an awful president, but he IS a negotiator and perhaps sending a bully to deal with a bully is not such a daft strategy.....
Or IMHO, Trump has no long term goal and prong to flip flops between major decisions at a moments notice, making him dangerously unpredictable, so both Koreas would rather have a relationship where they are aware how far they can push each other's buttons without going to war. Better an enemy you know, than a friend you don't.
Trump's only contribution is that he's so ignorant of diplomacy, he's pushing the two old enemies together while undermining his own country's influence in the peninsula.
Nobody really knows what goes on behind the scenes, but here's what I think happened:
Kim Jong-un is a bully and comes from a line of bullies. When the bully wanted attention, or couldn't afford to feed his family, he would act all aggressive and scary... this usually resulted in previous Presidents cravenly giving him what he wanted.
The pattern was repeated many times... angry threats followed by empty promises followed by concessions from the west... of course, in the meantime, they grew more and more powerful and dangerous....
Finally, he tried it on Trump. Trump dealt with the bully exactly how all people should deal with a bully. Everyone knows that if you give the bully your lunch money he'll be back tomorrow... Trump slapped him down.
Next task will be to do the same to Iran.
Godspeed I say...
To add... I am still very concerned about the NK citizens... I've said before that I believe a war to liberate NK would be a moral one, imho... a humanitarian one....
His nuclear testing sites were located on a mountain bordering China. Last year, during nuclear testing, he accidentally blew up the mountain and it collapsed, along with all his nuclear testing sites. Now, China is pissed and they sent scientists to monitor the nuclear fallout leaking near their border. For the first time, their main ally is considering sanctions upon them.
