| 2018-04-18 |
| [National Review] North Korea and South Korea are reportedly preparing to announce an official end to their 68-year war. North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and South Korean president Moon Jae-in will meet next week to discuss an end to the war, the newspaper Munhwa Ilbo said, citing an unidentified South Korean official. The two countries have technically been at war for 68 years since the Korean War began in June 1950. The three-year conflict ended with an armistice instead of a peace treaty in 1953, and smaller conflicts have flared from time to time since.

| #7 My personal hypothesis is that Pudgy’s time spent in the West prior to assuming power predisposed him to seeking a peaceful reconciliation with the South and the rest of the world. For the same reason I view KJU as an especially dangerous character. His first hand experience in the West exposed him to all the rot, self loathing, masochism and zero civilizational confidence that has been a determining factor in Western politics and culture since the end of the Soviet Union. For his father and grandfather the West would have always been an alien, inscrutable and and somewaht scary entity. Not for KJU. IMO he's especially dangerous like a wolf dog hybrid. |

So long has he is able to guarantee his own safety and personal standing as the “Dear Leader”, he can now be hailed as a savior to his people by bringing them into the 21st century and with all the material trappings that come with it. |

| #5 ...yeah, he's actually doing stuff that warrants it. He doesn't qualify for an Affirmative Action award for just getting elected. Just the opposite. |

| #4 IF this works out,a very big if, I know, Trump would truly deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. He won't get it, of course. |

| #3 Why am I really skeptical of this as massively whiffing of bullshit? If Pudgy stays in power, this 'declaration' is worthless. |

| #2 Appears Pudgy throwing tantrums and threatening to blow up the world got him no where. 68 years of decay, starvation and no electricity is not worth it any more. |

| #1 President Trump and Mike Pompeo to visit Pyongyang, sign documents ending war, open new U.S. Embassy. Kim Jong-un and POTUS talk about new, luxury hotel, and yugely discounted soy beans whilst putting on the back nine. Pompeo drives golf cart, smiles ? |
