Nobel Peace Notice: Trump's Bellicose Threats and Demeaning Name-Calling Unites Korean Peninsula

[kentuck]

No doubt, the people of North and South Korea saw something that Donald Trump was doing with which they did not feel comfortable. His threats of nuclear obliteration of the Peninsula made both sides take notice. In the end, they both figured they had more in common with each other than anything that Donald Trump had to offer. Both sides felt threatened by the comments of Donald Trump.

So, in that sense, Donald Trump has helped to bring the Korean people together. It is doubtful, and no one would recommend it, that the Trump style of diplomacy will be adopted by the United Nations or any other country in the world.

If the Nobel Peace Prize does not stand for threats of annihilation and childish name-calling, then it stands for nothing.

1. Maybe this:

"If the Nobel Peace Prize does not stand for threats of annihilation and childish name-calling, then it stands for nothing"

I think you meant...."does not stand against threats...."

[kentuck]

2. No. I was being facetious.

I should have put one of these at the end:

3. OK, I guess I need more coffee!

4. SK President Moon

campaigned on the promise of better relations with NK and even hinted at re-unification. This has been in the works before Trump got involved but he’lltake all the credit if it’s realized. He’ll never get the Nobel for threatening to nuke NK.

5. I'm sure we will hear about the credit that Trump deserves..

But, I agree that the seeds for reunification had already been planted, but the threats from Donald Trump will be portrayed as "tough diplomacy" that nobody else was capable of doing.

What next? He threatens to blow Iran off the map and everyone in the Middle East unites to oppose his plan to blow up the world?

"Crazy" is the new strategy?

6. So far, its all talk. Lets see what happens.

It could be an absolute disaster, escpecially with Trump and Bolton involved.

7. Kim Jung Un is more likely to win a Nobel Peace Prize than Donald J Trump.

Is it time to pull the troops out of South Korea?

[octoberlib]

9. Yes and Moon. That will probably be one of

NK’s demands but would SK go along with it? And I’d think the Chinese would be leery of too much democratic influence . It’ll be interesting.

8. If it's a disaster, clearly it will be Obama's fault

If it happens to work out due to no effort of Trumpy, Trumpy will take credit.

This guy is nothing if not predictable.

Your sig line rocks!

11. Thanks,treestar!

10. He may very well bring about World Peace.

Of course, the United States will be a smoldering, radioactive ruin, but you can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs.
