Fun fact. When Washington was elected nobody knew what to call him as the first elected President by the population. All kinds of ridiculous titles were offered. Eventually, dont know who offered it, but we just went with the simple Mr President.
"As they deliberated over appropriate designations for the new president, Vice President Adams suggested the following titles: His Elective Majesty, His Mightiness, and even His Highness, the President of the United States of America and the Protector of their Liberties.
That last one is like a GOT title.
Moon has an interesting take on the Norths recent temper tantrum:
South Korea'''s Moon says North Korea-U.S. talks '''on track''', criticism a ploy
This may be promising news, but you can never tell with NK. They are erratic to say the least.
Also, I don't think people want Trump to fail on this. The only thing I've said negatively is that he straight up, bold faced lied that the soldiers' remains were already in country at one of his little rallies.
When did u say that no remains were returned?

"Mr. Trump said last month that the North Koreans had already sent back, or are in the process of sending back, the remains of our great heroes. But the repatriation has yet to happen."

And we can go on and on. Fact is several have been, and as Trump admitted full repatriation is yet to happen.
"As they deliberated over appropriate designations for the new president, Vice President Adams suggested the following titles: His Elective Majesty, His Mightiness, and even His Highness, the President of the United States of America and the Protector of their Liberties.

Continued negotiations between the United States and North Korea hinge on Washington's willingness to make a "bold move" and agree to a peace treaty with Pyongyang, according to an official with close knowledge of North Korea's position on the matter.
If the US is unwilling to replace the armistice agreement that ended the Korean War with a permanent peace that would ensure the survival of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's regime, Pyongyang will likely not proceed further with denuclearization talks, the source said.
The establishment of a legally binding peace treaty would require the approval of two-thirds of the US Senate.
North Korea is putting pressure on the administration of US President Donald Trump to begin lifting sanctions, according to the official, believing they have done "so much" by freezing nuclear and missile testing, destroying one of their nuclear sites, and facilitating the upcoming repatriation of US service members' war remains.
For his part however, Trump has privately expressed frustration over the perceived lack of progress in the talks, according to a US official, though he regarded the testing freeze as a positive sign.
Wondering if this could lead to more. And wondering what the China angle is.

Would a peace treaty be worth the price of denuclearization?
imo hell yes. not sure what good has come from staying at war with them. not sure what terms they would want, but I would be more than willing to end it that mess.
