Bravo President Trump!
Well done Sir!
Well done Sir!
It’s a good gesture but not nearly as absolute as you would think. There’s a lot of wiggle room for more testing even if the statement is honored. We’ll see what happens at the summit.
First Iran now NK. Last two presidents are killing it!
Oh sorry, I forgot about the double standard.Lol Iran is more belligerent and destructive in the region than they’ve ever been. Their missile programs got a huge boost from Obama unlocking billions of dollars for them.
The Revolutionary Guard should have sent him a thank you note.
Oh sorry, I forgot about the double standard.
At least you're on the record that any deal with NK short of us being able to conduct inspections is bad.How many Americans has N Korea killed in the past 45 years? A handful?
Iranian militia have killed thousands of US service members in the past 15 years.
But hey- they gave up their nuke program for a few years . Yay. Oh and we can’t inspect their military sites. Yay. What a deal

Well prepare to be disappointedWell of course. Military sites included. Everything.
The deal should also require stopping their ballistic missile programs. Something the Iran deal completely avoided .
No, it's true. The Obama administration agreement wasn't to stop Iran, but to get them to 'slow down' for awhile. Even the administration admitted this, when the US media isn't editing it out. Seriously. It's one of the biggest, intentional omissions by the US media.Oh sorry, I forgot about the double standard.

if someone told me this was going to happen even a few months ago, i wouldve thought they were insane.
i think you are right. why else would they suddenly decide to do this?I'm still skeptical. I think N Korea is on the brink of economic collapse, with China finally executing sanctions, and now they're just totally desperate. Looking for a life line. I don't buy they'll denuclearize 100% as would be the mandate.

whats funny is they probably wont give trump a peace prize even though if this deal does go through, he would have done far more than obama even dreamed.Well .... looks like the Iran deal was as crappy as everyone expected it was. Israel blowing the roof off of Iran's secrets.
Does Obama have to give back his Nobel Peace Prize because his foreign policy was all smoke and mirrors .... with a smidge of BS added in?
Nope. President Obama should have never accepted it in the first place.Does Obama have to give back his Nobel Peace Prize because his foreign policy was all smoke and mirrors .... with a smidge of BS added in?

Frankly, I would have been insulted, and I think President Obama actually was. I mean, there's no bigger insult than to be given something before completing anything. It was an anti-W. award. He said he accepted it as a motivation to make his presidency one of peace.
Honestly, if I was President Obama in 2009, having accomplished virtually nothing by then, I would have deferred the prize to someone else ... like maybe Ronald Reagan for helping bring about the end of the Cold War. And if not Reagan, and possibly better yet, a virtual nobody in political circles who actually has done a lot for world peace.
Which is why the easiest way to avoid declining is to defer the award to someone who feel is more worthy. President Obama could have done that.It was a complete farce that Obama was chosen for the Nobel, and really cheapened the award. I know he considered declining it since he knew he didn’t deserve it, but it was decided it would look even worse to turn it down.

Yeah but I 100 percent support him accepting it . He was backed in a corner . I didn’t agree with most of his politics but Obama was put in a tough spot by Both friends and foes throughout his presidencyI've never heard of anyone defering a nobel peace prize, it would probably look about the same as turning it down. But I think it would have been a better idea than accepting it, he absolutely did not deserve it.
Maybe because their nuclear test site collapsed?i think you are right. why else would they suddenly decide to do this?

that could definitely be part of the reason. many others have pointed to trump finally getting china to come around and actually tell north korea stop. probably alot of various reasons added up to the negotiations.Maybe because their nuclear test site collapsed?

You haven't heard about it because they were deferred before they were publicly announced. What did you not understand about my comment about deferring praise? You do it without people knowing.I've never heard of anyone defering a nobel peace prize, it would probably look about the same as turning it down.
Which brings me back to deferring ...But I think it would have been a better idea than accepting it, he absolutely did not deserve it.

The Nobel Prize committee very much does contact award winners before they are publicly announced, especially in the case of political issues whereby accepting the award could cause great issues for the awarded.
Again ... you're missing the point.That link about Einstein was fascinating, but had absolutely nothing to do with your example of the committee choosing someone and then that person declining or deferring the prize. It says no one was chosen for the 1921 prize initially.
The situation reached crisis point in 1921 when, paralysed by indecision, the Nobel Committee decided it was better not to award a prize at all than to give it to relativity.
The highly anticipated meeting between Kim Jong Un and myself will take place in Singapore on June 12th. We will both try to make it a very special moment for World Peace!
