Let's keep it real. Donald Muthafukking Trump is gonna win a Nobel Peace Prize
The Nobel Peace Prize should go to President Moon. He’s the one that reached out to the North Koreans and kept lines of communication open even though the North ignored his outreach at first (they were focused on their nuke/ICBM tests).
Then Moon carefully managed to engage with the North Koreans while making sure to keep the US in the loop and doing so without pissing off either side. He practically became the mediator between Trump and Kim.
When things got hot between Trump and Kim, Moon himself said that there would no military attack on North Korea without him having a say on it. This was his way of pushing back on the potential bloody nose strike.
Take Moon out of the equation and today’s meeting and even the Trump-Kim summit either takes much longer to happen or doesn’t happen at all.
Trump’s maximum pressure campaign def played a role but the North Koreans had to be able to reach out to someone once their nuke tests were complete. Moon and the South Koreans were ready to not only reach out but use diplomacy as the means to find a solution.
Besides, how on earth will Trump get the prize when he appears dead set on pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, which, among other things, could affect the denuclearization process in the peninsula?
