It's all fake news - ask Mr Trump.

Good to see North Korea's Kim Jong-un meeting South Korea's Moon Jae at the boarder between their two countries as a precursor to peace talks. What guns and bombs failed to achieve, possibly a handshake between two old enemies will, we can only hope.
A comment please Foxy. I know you want peace in the world as much as I do. Posted by Paul1405, Friday, 27 April 2018 8:08:33 PM

Dear Paul,
Of course I want peace in the world. And we're not alone in this. For millennia people have hoped for peace in their time. Today, we have two vital elements for international peace-making in place. The first is the United Nations, which provides a forum for world opinion and a mechanism for conflict resolution. The second is a body of international law that specifies the rights and obligations that nations have toward one another - particularly with respect to aggression. However a major difficulty with international peace-making is that compliance with the resolutions of the UN and the rulings of its World Court are voluntary, for no country is willing to surrender its sovereignty to an international body. The UN is most effective when the superpowers are able to agree on a course of action and mobilize their blocs to support it. Even so, the organisation does provide an influential forum for world opinion, and while it doesn't always prevent war, it surely helps make it less likely. Hopefully, something positive just may come out of the meeting of two previous enemies. We'll have to wait and see. Posted by Foxy, Friday, 27 April 2018 8:56:21 PM

"Please do not forget the great help that my good friend,
President Xi (Jinping) of China...particularly at the border of North Korea. Without him it would have been a much longer, tougher, process!" Thank You President Xi. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/north-korea-south-korea-donald-trump-korean-war-nuclear-weapons-a8326321.html Posted by Foxy, Saturday, 28 April 2018 2:00:53 PM

Don't you recall that Mr Obama assured us that his brilliant diplomacy had caused the Syrians to give up all their chemical weapons which was why he didn't need to enforce his red line. He did this with the co-operation of that other exemplar of truth and virtue, Mr Putin.
To believe otherwise would be to think that Mr Obama lied to the world...and that just can't be true.
