Obama Created Monsters, Trump Ended Korean War

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo with North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un

President Trump is the ultimate diplomat, because he is the ultimate negotiator.  As Trump was tough with North Korea, and essentially making Kim Jong Un pee in his pants, the Democrats were freaking out, warning that Trump was going to cause nuclear war with his threats and hard handling of affairs with the North Korean dictator.  I think the same may be in the cards with Iran, too.  Peace is achieved through strength, and diplomatic victories are achieved when negotiating from a position of strength.  The appeasement Democrats fail to recognize that hard truth.  Trump is fully aware of the reality that hasn't been practiced since President Ronald Reagan.

Like North Korea, Iran has been a problem child in the world.  Iran has been lying with deceptive genius, and pursuing their nuclear dreams despite Obama's disastrous Iran deal.  In reality, the appeasement deal did not help the situation.  It created a monster.  Trump wisely realized how bad the deal was, and has gotten the United States out of it.

As with North Korea, the liberal Democrats were warning that how Trump is dealing with Iran, it will lead to war.  They are wrong again.  Bullies and tyrants are actually cowards, and Trump is calling their bluff . . . in North Korea, and Iran.  Trump has been directly engaging with tough talk and hard sanctions, and the result is a step in the right direction, and positive results.

The Iran deal was not a treaty.  It was never ratified by the Senate, so first of all, that makes it easier for President Trump to exit the deal.  Second, by doing what he is doing, Trump is playing hard ball and is giving Iran's leadership a basic decision to make: Work with us, and we will help you make your country prosper, or continue to defy the world with your nuclear ambitions and suffer the consequences of sanctions, economic ruin and possible war.  He's forcing their hand, as he did with Kim Jong Un in North Korea.

The reality is, Iran has been lying and cheating during the very bad Obama Iran Deal.  Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu has provided the evidence, revealing that Iran has continued to pursue nuclear weapons with a secret warhead project.  The Israelis pulled off an incredible undercover mission stealing a 100,000 files that have proven what Iran is really up to.  The documents 'conclusively prove' nukes were being sought by Iran's leadership.  In the United States, the authenticity of the documents has been confirmed.  Because of the threat, Israel has been on a war footing, and say they were ready to bomb if necessary.  As the great negotiator, while Israel and Iran exchanged fire, including a hit by Israel on an Iranian recruitment base in Syria, leaving 26 dead, with a spectacular display of massive fireballs, the United States continued moving forward with its hard stance against Iran, and with opening its new embassy in Jerusalem.  Defiant, Iran fired retaliatory missiles over the Israel border into the Golan Heights at a military base.

Iran is still not ready to succumb to the great negotiator, largely because their growth as a monster during Obama's presidency, as a result of Obama's bad foreign policy, still has them thinking they can throw their weight around.

The three hostages released are
Kim Dong-chul, Kim Sang-duk and Kim Hak-song,
who were arrested in North Korea and
sentenced to around a decade each of hard labor.  
In North Korea, dictator Kim Jong Un has succumbed.  He's met with the South Korean leader (literally walking across the border to do so), met with China, is ready to meet with Trump, and has even released three American hostages arriving tonight with Trump ready to greet them . . . this will be the first time since 2009 that there have been no hostages being held in North Korea. Kim decided to grant amnesty to the three Americans at the "official suggestion" of the U.S. president, said North Korea's official news agency, KCNA.

Secretary of State Pompeo will arrive with the newly freed hostages.

Trump knew that despite the idiotic warnings by the Democrats, "maximum pressure" was what would work with North Korea.

President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for this.  After a leader from the south had the chance to meet with a North Korean leader for the first time in over half of a century, the South Korean leader said Trump should get the Nobel.  Trump is ready to meet with Kim Jong Un, and many signs have suggested that the site will be Singapore.  Nonetheless, President Trump has suggested the meeting should be at the border between the two Koreas.

While the Democrats claim this is only a chance for a propaganda victory for North Korea, I think, based on the genuine grin I keep seeing on the dictator's face, and what I have learned about Trump's superior negotiation skills, this is finally for real.  If the North Korean dictator is ready to give up on communism and absolute power, this will be as huge as the fall of the Berlin Wall.
