tRump may be world's (universe's/eternitie's?) luckiest man. North Korea nukes.

So Un's nuke test site has collapsed. Kaput.

So of course he's willing to negotiate a 'cease testing' now.
And THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES is COMING TO HIM!
Meeting places have been narrowed down to Singapore or "Mongolia".
So THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES COMES TO HIM.
This is HUGE for Asian culture, especially North Korea.
The 'most powerful leader in the world' will come to him.

And the Dumbass will get and take ALL the credit for bringing world peace.
If he gets a fucking Nobel I'm just gonna binge drink for a few weeks.

However, any peace between the Koreas is great, and I'll give at least some credit to Spanky for it (after all, it was largely his craziness that pushed Kim to test a larger nuke than Korea was sure it could handle). As for the Nobel Peace Prize, once I found out that Kissinger won that thing, it lost all significance to me.

The only thing I am really fearing is that Trump and the Repubs will get to ramrod their agenda through months or even years with no pushback (kind of like how Bush and the repubs did after 9/11). By the time the collective news class ejects its head from Dump's dumper it may be too late to change or fix it.

I bet the review board would giggle in their office passing around the application form for a good long while though.

to make Trump look good. Putin saw the ship sinking and needed to throw out a life preserver.

The problem is that we are so focused on the Russian involvement in the 2016 election, that people are not paying attention to what they are doing now. There is really no other explanation to why we would go from Trump and Kim lambasting each other on Twitter to them getting along so quickly. Even with a collapse in the North Korean testing site, Kim could just bluff for a while if he was in a contentious mood.

Honestly, has Trump done ANYTHING to make this happen? Yes Pompeo went see Kim, but that was only because Kim acquiesced. Why should Trump get an award?

What was the collateral damage from vaporizing his mountain? Did he lose his labs, fabs, and scientists?

I think we should consider the real possibility that North Korea suddenly became friendly when their dream of strategic nuclear capabilities were lost in the boom.

I hope our satellite images can solve this mystery before President Dennison gives away the store because Kim smiled at him.
