Oh, I don't know what the ultimate likely outcome will be. But, this is a golden opportunity.

Indeed.

Lil Kim and South Korean President Whatshisface are meeting as we speak in the demiliterised zone. Some funny looking traditional Korean music and clothes going on there. I noticed they made Lil Kim walk a kilometre or so just to puff him out and make him look like the fat mess he is. President Whatshisface looks very fit and trim.

Trump, Nobel Peace Prize :{D
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Now that would be delicious. I'd hear the gnashing of teeth and rending of garments in Hollywood from my backyard.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Nothing has happened yet. NK and SK have done this dance before, and nothing happened. Even if they do, Trump will manage to fuck it up somehow..

While it lasts lets be optimists. The movement of people starting with relatives could become a flood heralding unstoppable convergence. And like the collapse of the Berlin wall...this final bastion of totalitarian communism be overthrown. In a instance. So, what is wrong with hope?

There's nothing wrong with hope. But it's outcomes we need, not hope.

Throw enough money in and the situation will improve. Realistically the peace dividend requires forward investment, twice so with the North....

Money's not the issue. It's power for the Kim family. Anything that weakens their grip on power will never eventuate.

What I worry about is 1) Trump and 2) corruption. It will be like the joining of East and West Germany on steroids.

There'll be Trump Towers in Pyongyang before you can say Kimchi!
