Kim Jong Un has announced his intention to make strides toward a nuclear free Korean peninsula.<\/p>\n<p>So what caused Kim Jong Un&#8217;s about face after threatening the west with nuclear annihilation for the past seven years or ever since he came to power? Well, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2018\/apr\/26\/north-korea-nuclear-test-site-collapse-may-be-out-of-action-china\" target=\"_blank\">apparently North Korea&#8217;s test facility has completely collapsed after the last test and may be unusable<\/a>.<\/strong> So that would definitely change Kim Jong Un&#8217;s tune if he couldn&#8217;t back up his churlish threats with, you know, actual firepower. We&#8217;re thinking that&#8217;s a\u00a0of lot of egg on Kim Jong Un&#8217;s face.<\/p>\n<p>But what is really strange is that Trump is somehow receiving credit for the Korean peace summit. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2018\/05\/02\/politics\/nobel-peace-prize-republicans\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Top Republicans have even submitted his name for a Nobel Peace Prize<\/a>. But what&#8217;s even\u00a0more peculiar\u00a0is that the United States press and media has seemingly\u00a0buried the test site&#8217;s collapse. Go ahead and Google &#8216;north korea test site collapse&#8217; and the latest stories all date to April 25-26, 2018. Instead of stating the obvious reason for Kim Jong Un&#8217;s sudden enthusiasm for peace, it&#8217;s letting slide the narrative that Donald Trump is responsible for ridding the Korean peninsula of nuclear weapons without even mentioning the collapsed site. <strong>We think the destroyed test site is huge! Why is this news not getting more attention by the media?<\/strong> Not even the late night comedians have mentioned it. Just more bizarre events\u00a0in a bizarro world where Donald Trump is somehow now the world&#8217;s greatest peacekeeper.<\/p>\n<p>Now that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/worldviews\/wp\/2018\/05\/09\/trump-axes-the-iran-deal-and-creates-a-new-crisis\/?noredirect=on&amp;utm_term=.f5eca2f7f3e9\" target=\"_blank\">Trump has nixed the Iran deal despite urgent pleas from our allies in France, U.K. and Germany, not to<\/a>, we wonder if America&#8217;s CEO\/Dictator\/&#8217;Peace Guru&#8217; will use the same game of nuclear brinkmanship that he used with North Korea.
