If that is a true intention, and he goes on with it (he often says stuff but does not do it) then Trump is showing some unexpected flexibility.

Why wouldn't he go through with it? What specifically in the past that Trump has done would make you think he would back out of possibly the greatest diplomatic coup of the past 50 years? If Trump gets Kim to give up nukes, he will get a Nobel for it.

The North Koreans have apparently declared they are open to negotiations to completely divest themselves of nuclear weapons, and have agreed to discontinue any testing for the duration of the upcoming talks. This is huge.

Well I read the news and was pretty surprised. However, it was also said in the news that Kim Jong un has NOT YET promised to resort to denuclearisation. It's just that Trump and Kim Jong un are gonna have talks but it's very generic. Does it constitute Negotiations? well we don't know. As of now, let's just hope this meeting yields positive results and not end up in some sort of a physical brawl over the meeting table.

How will things end for North Korea?

A matter of speculation.

Things will not end well for Babylon. Nor for Israel.

Not speculation. Babylon's fall is predestined. Every empire has a life span.

People think Trump's bluster is going to lead to a nobel peace prize? LOL Wtf.

Never mind the fact that this is like barely half a story. It wasn't even the North Koreans who released this info. Don't any of you wonder why?

You watch too much CNN. It does not matter what Trump does in your eyes and it would be wrong. So, what if North Korea is neutralized...would anyone give him credit? You do not have to like Trump to hope for the best with a situation. OTOH, what if this escalates things? Everyone fails to see that under Trump there have been far less missiles and drone strikes than under Obama who had the most. Rattling and bluster is not akin to actually terrorizing countries...ones who are loose cannons in the case of North Korea who mistreat human beings. I am not a Trump fan, but I will not criticize him for the worlds problems either. OTOH, much chaos to come is by design.

I think hes a loose enough cannon to make it happen or to use the moment as a distraction. Either way, Obummer had multiple peace/negotiation offers from NK and not only turned them down, his regime refused to even respond. The MSM also refused to cover those olive branches. Now that Trump has made this bold announcement, the liberals & MSM are shrieking about it. What a backwards world from a few years ago, the liberals are the ones howling for conflict with Russia, NK and etc. while demanding their schizophrenic Middle East policies be implemented. War mongers on the left, war mongers on the right...... The middle path seems logical.

How would you explain to someone who has no dog in the fight of the US vs NK stage play how The US gets to keep nukes but no one else can?
Russia, China, UK, France, Israel, Pakistan, India, etc. all have nuclear weapons. Where do you get this "US gets to keep nukes but no one else does?"

But Trump didn't make any announcement. This was an initiative from the North Koreans that was expressed through South Korea, asking the US to the negotiating table. It's huge news, but Trump didn't say anything.
