It is actually happening. Could the Non-Proliferation Treaty be returning to the forefront of international policy?

I fully expect this to be a major breakthrough for the Non-Proliferation Treaty. I also expect all the peacemakers to be in line for a Noel Peace Prize nomination.

The people responsible for this breakthrough are very brave. One would expect South Korea to launch into nuclear proliferation themselves, but, instead the new President of South Korea saw a way forward. The entire world needs to come to a stop to realize the incredible movement toward peace and prosperity these meetings will bring, including bringing families together that have been separated by a border for decades. It is simply incredible.
