I don't know how thw "Reagan Doctrine" applies here. The Reagan Doctrine specifically had to do with assisting resistances and counter-revolution in Marxist countries, instead of using our own forces, we provide the mens for the Contras and Mujahedin to roll back the Commies. That doesn't really apply to North Korea, and certainly doesn't apply to the current Middle East setup.

From Wikipedia:
Under the Reagan Doctrine, the United States provided overt and covert aid to anti-communist guerrillas and resistance movements in an effort to "roll back" Soviet-backed communist governments in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The doctrine was designed to diminish Soviet influence in these regions as part of the administration's overall strategy to end the Cold War.

The philosophy of realpolitik works wherever it’s tried. Direct, no-BS, bilateral discussions and negotiations, based on practical considerations, i.e., no UN-brokered “agreements”, between two interested parties stands a far better chance of success than any multi-lateral agreement and they tend to last a lot longer. Rather flies in the face of the globalist, “We are the World” philosophy, doesn’t it?

Where’s Trump’s Nobel Prize? I mean obama got one for doing nothing which allowed the destruction of at least 2 countries by ISIS and the migration/invasion of Europe by cavemen which will ruin it forever.

Trump has managed to bring rocket man to the table agreeing to get rid of his nuclear weapons and did it in just over a year. I think they should rescind the obummer Nobel award since he caused world wide death and destruction and give it to the person who actually did something good for the world; President Donald J. Trump.

If both sides here are sincere and honest in discussions here there is great potential for the whole world but N Korea has the most to gain.
