In a bright flash of showmanship, of which President Trump is well known for at this point, he took to twitter and asked his 51 million followers, the following question;
"Numerous countries are being considered for the MEETING, but would Peace House/Freedom House, on the Border of North & South Korea, be a more Representative, Important and Lasting site than a third party country? Just asking!"
This question comes on the heels of a historic week, in which we witnessed a world changing event unfold, one of which will move the world in a better direction for decades to come.
Ironically, the MSM was largely sullen about this news, which came as a shock to many, as there is no way possible that the potential end of the Korean War and the possible nuclear de-armament of North Korea could be spun as negative by any sane individual. Sadly, the MSM has proven time and time again, that they are anything but sane.
Instead, they chose to take the tactic of discrediting President Trumps influence in this ground breaking achievement, a tactic that was quickly squashed by the President of South Korea days later, as he suggested that President Trump should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his key part in the negotiations, forever stamping out the fake news narrative spun by the MSM.
Now, as the days tick by, real action needs to take place and fortunately, that appears to be exactly what is happening behind the scenes.
As mentioned at the start of this article, President Trump went directly to the people, asking them for their input on the location of these peace talks, snubbing the MSM in the process.
The DMZ is the location that he is suggesting, over other key locations that were initially suggested such as Switzerland, or Sweden. But why?
We know exactly why experts would suggest locations such as Switzerland or Sweden, two third party countries that are commonly thought as "neutral" parties and "safe" locations for diplomatic talks.
But I believe this is exactly why Trump is not suggesting those locations. These locations would project the need for safety, they would suggest that negotiations could turn sour, and things could get ugly.
Instead, I believe that Trump is once again playing 3D chess, a term that is often attributed to him, for his ability to play the political game expertly, keeping one step ahead of his enemies and opponents.
By suggesting the DMZ, a location that is still technically classified as a "hostile" location, President Trump is telling the world, in a round about way that negotiations are in fact much farther along than anyone is assuming.
Having negotiations settled in this location would be so historic, and so symbolically earth shattering that it would immortalize the time forever in history. The imagery around it would be comparible to that of "the fall of the Berlin wall".
I believe what President Trump is suggesting is that negotiations have all been but settled, if but only for a few minor terms and concessions yet remaining, of which will likely be ironed out before any official meeting is allowed to take place.
This is a good thing, this is a step in the right direction, and anyone who attempts to spin it negatively is simply attempting to project their agenda on you. Rejoice and celebrate, for as I mentioned in last week's article, we are entering a new golden age.
