Why isn’t this bigger news?
 

Why?

If Obama did it they'd have school children singing songs about him and it would be non stop news on ALL media outlets.

or they'd name something after him..

One example:

Fungi: Caloplaca obamae, a lichen species

Now I know why I itched so much for 8 years.

Maybe because Trump is not involved or he hasn't Tweeted about it yet.

He's Tweeting
 

Lead story on the nightly news last night, lead story on cnn.com right now. Lead story all over.

So I'm not sure what you mean by "bigger". BlueChip is right, you wanted some tweets taking credit?

Trump 2-1 win Nobel Peace prize
 

Not lead story on Morning Joe
 

^Actually, they did open the show with Korea. The first 10 mins of the show are playing on their site:

I'm not a fan (far from it) of the Morning Joe hosts but please verify information before you pass it off as fact.

Agreed
 

It's huge news, and it is getting plenty of world attention.
Stop taking everything so personally.

Between the change of heart by NK on the Winter Olympics,
and tougher talk from the Trump regime, something appears
to have made Kim Jong Un think a little clearer for once.

Maybe tougher talk is what the situation required?
Something worked. You have to hand that to Trump.
Happened more by trial and error, though.
Added to the fact that Kim could still go home sulking.

Nobel Peace Prize for Trump?
A successful resolution on the Korean peninsula would deserve it.
Trump's massive ego would expand even further.

Trump's tweet is 1000% accurate.

Time will tell...

I've said this in other threads... The NK holds all the carrots and have all the leverage in this discussion.

Ending the war =/= a victory.
Ending testing =/= a victory.
Ending ICBM development =/= a victory.

Those are all carrots.

Verifiable abandonment of medium/short range ballistic missiles and/or inspections of existing inventories = victory.

Demilitarization of the DMZ = victory.

As long as the administration stays that course everything is fine. The ultimate goal is a normalization of relations. Talking is good.

After reading a bunch of this its apparent the North Korean's are seeking multilateral and not bilateral talks.

If that is the case the United States should really take a back seat in discussions and simply be "present" at discussions as the North, South, Japan, and China hammer something out. Their goalposts are already further away than ours are...

Should be an interesting 6 months or so. This has happened before in the late 90's when their program became public knowledge and we began war-gaming the situation... don't forget:

The Kim's always appear to be pretty smooth operators so hopefully something concrete does get done.

I love the smell of optimism in the morning.:ThmbUp:
