I noticed that too. North Korea seemed to seriously be ready for some peace talks. I recall being horrified when Rudy opened his big mouth and said Kim was ‘begging on his hands and knees for another chance to arrange a Summit with Mr. Trump.”

I could not believe his indiscretion and lack of diplomacy, especially knowing how sensitive the Asian countries are about pride and losing face. Then I thought, maybe Trump wanted that to be the final ‘test’ to see if Kim was REALLY ready.
Turns out there was no official North Korean reaction AT ALL!
Well now.

Wow. Do you think the US media will follow suit and tone down its anti-US rhetoric or is that too much to expect?

A total of FIVE! US Administrations have tried to get the Palestinians to finally look at the Jews in Israel as HUMAN BEINGS, rather than hate-filled animals. So far, no sign of progress, although Trump is trying something different, which is to treat the Palestinians as they are - which are hate-filled beings - and then see if they GET THE MESSAGE.

Not much different on the Korean Peninsula. The FIRST STEP in achieving a real peace there is ACCEPTING that Americans are human, along with South Koreans. If Mr. Kim is doing that, we are actually getting really, really, close to having peace there.

Those in darkness hate the light. And USA, for all its faults and mess-ups...is still very much a shining city on a hill. And you can tell this by who its enemies in the world typically are.

As far as the Korean peninsula is concerned, Americans have done so much to protect and safekeep Korea — which was always in a vulnerable place when left to its own. (Dealing with fates like decades of brutal Japanese occupation etc...)

In the 19th Century/20th Century especially, Americans did not just help pave the way for South Korea to be where it is today— but even Pyongyang before the Cold War and Korean War, was populated with American missionaries. They not only built churches, but schools and hosptials. They did not “colonize” or impose culture and language the way others had done past. Some Americans even gave their lives. And following Korean War, Americans gave aid to the North in the midst of hostility.

Unlike the Russians (who created the North Korean state) and Chinese who, when acting ideologically, act in the name of communism — and when without ideology, in the name of expediency...

At least where Korea is concerned, Americans always had a noble foundation they were ultimately operating from. Again -even through its faults and mess-ups. It acted in the name of freedom and the best interests of the S.Korean people were served. And that is why they are in a place now economically/politically/socially to begin the process of reunification in this way.

The Winds of Change are blowing again, this time to the East.

Thank you President Donald J Trump. You and Mr Reagan are the presidential heroes of my lifetime.

This is one of the signs you would expect, if North Korea was serious about coming in from the cold.

I take it as a positive sign - time will tell but Trump seems to be doing what the "experts" have long considered to be impossible.....

MAGA!!!

Now if we could only get the US media to do the same.
