    Default How's That Nobel Peace Prize Going?

    Seems there was no actual agreement with NoKo and we're back to saber rattling

    Did any Trumpers actually believe that Trump had solved anything with that photo op visit to Singapore?

    As far as I can tell, no other American president except the Orange One, was ever willing to give the North Korean tin pot dictator a photo op, legitimacy on the world stage, or to shake their hand and gush public praise for them, without receiving a single, substantive guaranteed concession in return.

    But Trump is basically a chump who can get easily played. He is not cut out for international diplomacy and geopolitical strategy. Mostly, I think his real talent was selling frozen steak products.

    I hoped, but I have seen NK leaders in action for too many years to believe anything until it actually happens.

    Stupid Tom says wait and see, with his eyes closed.
    Leviticus 19:33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong. 34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the homeborn among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

    Cheering despots? I can't say I am surprised. But smarter people will wait till there is actually an agreement before emotionally erupting.

    LOVES despots, tyrants and saber rattling and pretending Trump is the problem.

    So how does it happen by doing nothing?

    The Nobel committee despised Bush so much, they gave the president that succeeded him a Nobel prize for being not Bush.

    That being the case, I'm not sure they'd give Trump a prize even if Trump brought world peace.

No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18

    Trivializing the purpose of the Nobel Peace prize to spite anyone only destroys liberal arguments.

    "Trivializing the purpose of the Nobel Peace prize" TD #14
    What in your opinion is "the purpose of the Nobel Peace prize"?

    And in what way does it destroy "liberal arguments"?
