Came across the following tweet:
How long before a federal judge in Hawaii orders the Korean War must continue

I thought the No-balls Peace Prize was awarded based on “good vibrations” (Obama), as opposed to RESULTS (Trump)? :rolleyes:
The other way I look at it is, if things go on the path they are right now. De-nuclearization and a formal end to the war- what in it’s place wins the NPP? Some crappy twit on a front know one knows about wins- and then Trump trolls the crap out of them that way. If just the Koreans win the NPP, Trump gets to troll the organization for excluding him.
The NPP committee must be sweating it out right now. It will be the first time the NPP is hoping for a war, or the failure of the peace process.
Nobel Peace Prize isn’t awarded just on results. When they consider how hard Trump slapped Rocket Boy around (and called him “Rocket Boy”), his nomination (in the unlikely event he gets one) will sink like a rock.
Even though, Ironically, it is probably one of the core components as to their mentality of disarmament.
Kim just vowed to SK that he would denuclearize if USA vows to not invade.
Sounds like someone started coming around to the idea that could actually happen with this POTUS.
When push comes to shove, Rocket Boy got scurred.
Trump simply talked to “Roket Man” on a level he would understand. I like that about Trump, He WILL come down to your level to get your attention.
I think the sanctions got real. Going after Chinese companies is cutting off his last lifeline.
Kim can only keep control domestically for so long as things get worse.
I agree Trump has been extraordinarily effective in accomplishing the goal. But it is NOT the path to a Nobel Peace Prize.
.
I think a number of factors are influencing this:
The sanctions are becoming painful.
China isn’t backing this play and the longer it went on the more anxious they became.
I think he’s got a radioactive mess under that mountain and perhaps a plethora of issues that go along with it.
He’s running out of people to shoot without a possible grab for power via his military.
So did Arafat and a bunch of other actual terrorists. Basically if you are a subhuman butcher and you temporarily stop killing innocent people wholesale you get a peace prize. Obama got one for what people “hoped” he might accomplish, that really set everything to a meaningless standard, but it was still better than giving them to actual terrorists.
If I was Obama, I’d have told them to keep their “participation” award and I’d have been genuinely offended by their expectations of my ability as a world leader. If I was Trump, even given that he is a very ego driven individual, I’m not sure I’d even want that award or to be listed with that crowd of very questionable individuals.
I’d rather just make any actual contributions to peace that are within my ability to facilitate and let history record the event.
