Been a historic week for North and South Korea … admit it, this picture is stunning.
And the fact that President Trump played a YUGE part in making this happen is even being recognized by his critics tells you he actually did something good here.
North, South Korean leaders commit to “No more war” on peninsula in joint statement.

No more war.
Finally.
I’ve been critical of Trump foreign policy missteps in past year: TPP, Paris, too many unnecessary missteps with allies to count.
But today’s historic North/South Korea breakthrough does not happen without priority & pressure from US President.
Trump deserves full credit.

Major props to Ian for giving credit where credit is due.
It’s not an easy thing to do.
Trump, Xi, Moon and Kim together get my vote for the Nobel Peace Prize.
— ian bremmer (@ianbremmer) April 27, 2018
Agreed.
Obviously, still a lot of work to do before there’s sustainable Peace.
But it’s not like the Nobel Committee doesn’t give Prizes in advance of accomplishment…

Sadly there were a few people in the ‘resistance’ who weren’t overly thrilled with Ian’s comments:
We should all pretend for now, that this North Korean leader is not a suspected criminal that planned the killing of his own brother and probably hundreds more

That’s not what Ian said.
Why Xi and Trump?

Ummm… wha? Does she think Kim did this on his own?
Obama would get the prize just for trying to pacify the koreas

They would give Obama the Nobel Peace Prize for thinking about trying to pacify the Koreas.
Obama got one for converting oxygen to carbon dioxide!
