Much has been made of the North Korean summit. What people seem to forget (conveniently?) is that North Korea has signed denuclearization agreements with the last four presidents (Obama, Bush II, Clinton, Bush I) and reneged on all four. It appears Trump may be the latest in a long line of "great hopes - no effect."

Trump and North Korea
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

According to CNN
North Korea monitors claim nuclear test site dismantling has begun
We'll see if the summit happens, and how that goes. The guy's a nutcase. (yeah, ask me which one)The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I also think the "Trump peace prize" is just a tad premature...The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

I don't think anybody ever seriously expected Trump to win the Nobel Peace Prize. It has lately become a participation trophy awarded by liberal elites to liberal elites which disqualifies Trump by default.
Although I think it would be hilarious if Trump was offered it and then told the committee exactly where they could shove it.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God
