This is incredible, we are living a turning point moment in history folks.
Families may finally be able to be reunited if they decide to open the borders and be a one united Korea.
Family meetings in August. Atleast thats the plan.

Not really. China has more influence on NK and are the ones that started the thawing process so far. We've just had a generic embargo for decades that did nothing, really, to sway NK one way or the other, nor did a US president set the stage for this to happen.
Of course China has influence but if the stakes were not raised the Chinese wouldn't be able to pressure them as well. The embargo while it did nothing the current administration made this topic a front issue in public relations for the last year.Not really.

I think that making this a major world issue and the use of Brinkmanship did raise the bar. After Kennedy threatened MAD on the world in Cuba, detente did happen for awhile in that sense.Well yeah, the world who put sanctions on them all did to some degree probably but Trump in recent times, absolutely not other than passively carrying on what came before.
I don't think there should be unconditional peace with a country that butchers thousands of people in concentration camps. Is there a provision in this treaty that calls for UN inspection of known gulag sites? I don't expect a magic wand, but I don't really give a shit about gestures like this. What does the North Korean government expect to gain from this? Legitimization, continued existence? I know there's no way to depose them, but I'd hope that legitimization and participation in the global community is offered as a reward for not just denuclearization, but some signal of ending these camps and reforming their penal code. The human rights situation is the most tangible, real world consequence faced by people living today, not threats of hypothetical nuclear war.What are you expecting, a magic wand to solve all problems in NK, the shittiest country in the world?
This is a huge step towards more dialogue, less tension, more AID into the country as well, so yes, it will bring tangible change.
All it took was their nuclear testing facility collapsing and removing all leverage NK had in the conflict!

And all it took was NK accidentely destroying their own nuclear facility!
Really amazing news.
Wait, is this true? Do you guys have a source for this?Damn that's amazing. Good thing North Korea's nuclear site collapsed.
You know, Mr. Kim Jung Un, besides running your country with an iron fist, forcing people to smile and worship you at all times, execute or assassinate any politic foe, and threatening to send the world into WWIII...you ain't half bad.
I hope Dennis Rodman will be there to attend the signing of this peace treaty.
And this is an extremely important point. Things need to change in NK, and fast!This is wild and good for Moon, but the rest of the world should not be happy until decent humanitarianism is established to save the populace of NK and the regime is tried for crimes against humanity while reunification happens.
I have a feeling that's still far away, sadly.
"i'm the one who collapsed their nuclear test site !"
Trump and his administration played a key part in getting North Korea to the table. Obama got his for doing nothing.
I ain't sayin' that. I think it's worth nothing unless there are inspectations that ensure the closure of concentration camps. Otherwise it's a peace treaty that doesn't stop any killing, which is sort of a difficult peace treaty to care about.Lol at people saying a peace treaty is worth nothing unless there is regime change.
Have some realistic expectations
Good news.
Trump had fuck all to do with it. It almost reads like a pact against Trump and aggressive foreign policy to me.
NK is not a big place.
Let's hope the idols are safe from now on.
of course! so aggressive he sent Mike Pompeo to Pyongyang. If this peace deal holds up your kids are going to read all about how Trump was a key factor in getting this deal done.
