Exactly! As North and South Korea Begin to Talk, Trump Watches From Sidelines
By MARK LANDLERJAN. 3, 2018

WASHINGTON — While the two Koreas were gingerly reopening a border hotline, President Trump was gleefully taunting Kim Jong-un about the relative size of their nuclear launch buttons.
That, in a nutshell, captured the challenge facing the Trump administration as South Korea embarked on fragile new talks with North Korea on Wednesday.
Yet the president, so accustomed to being the center of attention, must now watch from the sidelines as these longstanding enemies open a dialogue. The talks at first are likely to focus on North Korea’s potential participation in the Winter Olympics, which are being held next month in the South Korean city of Pyeongchang.


The White House also reiterated that Mr. Trump would continue to defy Mr. Kim, regardless of any diplomacy underway. The press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, defended the president’s Twitter message late Tuesday about Mr. Kim in which he said, “I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!”

Yeah, President NUT-JOB deserves a Nobel Peace Prize! BTW, I don't believe Obama deserved one either, but at least he didn't bring us to the brink of nuclear war by having DIARHHEA OF THE MOUTH!

South Korea's leader~ Moon,is who deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, if a peace treaty is created.

Well, in trump world where up is down and down is up, giving a Peace Prize to the person who behaves the most verbally abusive during the "contest" should win.

And actually since coercion NEVER brings about lasting positive change , trump would be the winner of the Fake - Nobel Peace Prize.

Fitting. He s the fake president, the fake husband, the fake businessman, spreader of fake news, fake person (David Dennison, Donald Baron), fake american.

The peace price is decided by a norwegian committee.

And he may soon have a Nobel Peace Prize to show for it. Trump and Kim are currently the favorites to win the prize, according to one British oddsmaker, and some of Trump’s aides are telling reporters that a lasting thaw between North and South Korea should win Trump the award.

For a fake president, his name will still be in real history books. Forever.

Mattis is will be on the front lines and was in disagreement with our invasion of Iraq and doesn't want to end up in the same situation again.

That's just it there is no plan B, even assuming Russia, China and the other countries back out which isn't even a remote possibility what is the next step. Iran goes back into the nuclear program and we put the sanctions back in place, war is not an option.
