I have a smile from ear to ear this morning and it is because President Moon Jae-in was insightful enough and brave enough to lead. I congratulate all involved, it is a return to the NPT and I am grateful.
I am looking forward to a North Korea that is part of the world stage. In realizing how this young leader took in the sights of Singapore it gave me pause to be abhorred by isolation of an entire country. This meeting between Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump reaches beyond signatures on a paper, it is opening up the world to the North Korean people. This is a movement of people that will provide families with a place to be together and a world of people to be curious. North Korea is unknown to the world's population except for the myopic rhetoric of politics. That is no way to define an entire country of people.
I look forward to a verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and peace in the region with a return to normal economic opportunities that would be offered any other country seeking peace. This is the beginning of the official end of the Korean War. There is much to be proud of for both Donald Trump and Kim Jong un. The USA is taking the right path this time and I hope reflection of the enormity of this accomplishment will cause reflection of the hideous politics existing with Iran.
Today is a historic day. Well done.

The reds, the whites and the blues; can a path forward be more obvious? The single red star on the North Korean flag definitely looks lonely.
...1. The United States and the DPRK (click here) commit to establish new US-DPRK relations in accordance with the desire of peoples of the two countries for peace and prosperity.
2. The Unite States and the DPRK will join the efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula.
3. Reaffirming the April 27, 2018 Panumunjom Declaration, the DPRK commits to work toward complete denuclerarization of the Korean Peninsula.
4. The United States and the DPRK commit to recovering POW/MIA remains, including the immediate repatriation of those already identified....
The decision to end the presence of the USA within South Korea and war games by the USA has been discussed already. Mr. Pompeo has met with generals in North Korea before the joint statement was drawn up. Where has everyone been?

Seoul - One of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's top officials (click here) arrived at Beijing airport on Wednesday on his way to the United States where he is expected to help lay the groundwork for on-again, off-again talks between Kim and US President Donald Trump in Singapore on June 12.
Trump himself confirmed the news of Kim Yong Chol's trip to the US early Tuesday, tweeting: "We have put a great team together for our talks with North Korea. Meetings are currently taking place concerning Summit, and more. Kim Young Chol, the Vice Chairman of North Korea, heading now to New York. Solid response to my letter, thank you!"...
These issues are decided. This is not a new strategy at all. This is where the USA was once before. The USA miltiary ruined the last attempt to end the Korean War before, they won't do it this time.
End of discussion.
