nevermind the fact that the actual dimensions are so close together in size and that table is like 10x longer than it is wide lol
I'm happy beyond words about this momentous decision. I hope that the two Koreas will thaw tensions, and reunify one day.
I guarantee he did this as a big fuck you to trump, he managed to organise peace with south korea with next to no US involvement.
Couldn't Trump's pressure have had at least a bit of a hand in this happening though?
???
From what I've seen, South Korea's mostly been giving credit to him, but western analysts can't decide between crediting him or Xi Jinping
e.g.
SK Foreign Minister:

The president earlier this year:

Really sucks my grandfather died last summer, he fought in the Korean War and he never got to see the real end of it, plus since it had a fairly inconclusive ending it never really got the attention other wars did.
I feel like the credit should go between all the leaders of NK/SK, China, and US. Not any one in particular. Though some more than others.
The summit image on CNN's website is amazing

Holy shit someone needs to fire their graphic designer.
Alright, someone needs to do a World Leader Battle Royal in WWE 2k18.

Yeah the measurements are definitely way off. As they described it, the table would be almost circular.
Lockheed's stock is nosediving because of the peace talks

Northrop's and Raytheon's too
really makes you thonk 🤔
I have always considered the Korean War to have been long over since 1953.
Just because there's been no "official" peace treaty doesn't mean a conflict is active or ongoing.
If you want to be super picky about it, especially in regards to the US, there wasn't even a US declaration of war against North Korea to call it a war to begin with.
Trump-and-Dump scheme?
They already had peace, this is just a formality. This makes Kim look stronger and bigger on the world stage doing this without the help of Trump
I wouldn't really call artillery trained on your capital 24/7, peace.
Wishful thinking, but can you imagine how fantastic it would be if one day NK and SK merged to just form.. Korea
Then a huge chunk of the world is not at peace.
There are a lot of countries that have military outposts along their borders. Not everywhere is as safe as the US-Canadian border. Or the Danish-German border in your case.
Peace is not shooting your gun. Peace does not require disarming.
I severely doubt that there's a lot of, if any, countries, that are at peace, that has entire artillery batteries aimed at civilian targets as large as a capital city.
what is "most of the balkins, middle east and india/pakistan for 1000$"
imagine that will break the stock market, peace.
though I'm really interested in where the money for other stocks is being transferred to.
Why does it seem like this is such a minor footnote on the news? You'd think with how much people talk about North Korea that fucking, everyone would be talking about this, but most people don't even seem to know about it that I've asked irl.
I'm guessing, in a good way, that people have calmed down since the situation is simmering down and Syria is currently the pressure cooker situation.
well the news overhyped Nk, especially the trump friendly side of the news, but to most this is just same old same old considering they've made these sort of big diplomatic breakthroughs regular before slinking back behind the bamboo curtain.
Peace is boring and doesn't make headlines, my guess.
There was a cease fire declared, which means they only had a long cease fire and not an actual end to the war. Also it's true that there was no formal declaration of war between the US and North Korea or China, but there was a declaration of war between the North and South and both North Korea and China declared war on the US.
Also there were many small border skirmishes, artillery bombardments and small "invasions" after the cease fire. When Kim Jong Un took power in the north they shelled a disputed island off the coast of South Korea, even.
No one says that World War One was from 1914 to 1919.
Aggressions between the Allied and Axis ended in 1918 (plus it was only a few months later when the Treaty of Versailles was signed so it's really not a huge difference), however aggressions continued between North and South Korea for over sixty years. It's not really a fair comparison.
finally the bloodshed will cease
