What will end up happening is a document being signed by Kim, the South Koreans and Trump....ending the Korean War. You can measure up everything accomplished by the eight years of Obama, and all of it together will not measure up to this one single moment.
So will start a dialog...step by step actions. Very limited in value.
Reunification? For the next ten years...no. But I do believe that Trump will step up and agree to move between a thousand and two-thousand troops out of South Korea within one-year. And by the third year after the treaty is signed...it’ll be just 10,000 US troops left there.
The Nobel Peace Prize will go to Kim and the South Korean President...not Trump. But I suspect that Kim might shock the Prize committee by refusing to come unless his ‘good friend’ Donald is included on the award. At that point, all of us will start laughing over fraud by the prize committee.
The South Koreans are stuck in a unique position when unification talks finally occur....they have to invent a title and position (with power) for Kim.
I think we arranged this with China and Russia to get their ok.
The question is, what was in it for them? What guarantees did we give them vis-a-vis future US presence on the peninsula?
I don’t agree with pepsionice, I’m more of a coke guy, but I do love the scenario you drew!
And I'm saying that when I try to look at things non-partisan. Obama had negative accomplishments (Afghanistan, Izlamik State, destruction of the US medical system etc.) - he was such a waste, such an utter waste
I wish the Republican party had run Condaleeza Rice against him in 2008.
This sounds like the best description of what *could* happen better than anything else I’ve seen.
Remember what happened when the Warsaw Pact group began to break up, and the Iron Curtain began crumbling. Our high-priced “intelligence community” either couldn’t or didn’t foresee such a thing happening. Too many careerists had vested interests in seeing the status quo continue.
A peace treaty formally ending the Korean War would leave the loony lefties so hopping mad they’d forget to hop. Especially as the hermit kingdom opened up, and the real joys of the “socialist workers paradise” came to light.
Interesting thing is, Kim Jung Un’s grandparents were Christians.
North Korea has a very interesting history of Christianity in it before the communists took over.
I know Koreans whoa re praying for his salvation.
