"Seoul's Defense Ministry said Monday it will pull back dozens of its frontline loudspeakers on Tuesday.

It says Seoul expects Pyongyang to do the same.

South Korea had turned off its loudspeakers ahead of Friday's summit talks, and North Korea responded by halting its own broadcasts." foxnews.com/world/2018/04/30/latest-s-korea-to-remove-loudspeakers-at-border.html

Seoul had blasted propaganda messages and K-pop songs from border loudspeakers since the North's fourth nuclear test in early 2016. The North quickly matched the South's action with its own border broadcasts.

"South Korean President Moon Jae-in said Monday that President Trump deserves to win a Nobel Peace Prize for his role in talks to denuclearize the Korean peninsula and end the decades-long war between the North and South.

    Orange Anus claims to have damaging information on this Tester guy in Congress. Why doesn't he tell us, the public, what he knows? Is it really presidential to be holding that info back as leverage in politics?

    Absolutely it is. One of most benign tools of a politician.

    My bet on why little Kimmie is acting all nice is because they destroyed their own nuclear test facilities

    Kim is young enough, not yet stained with any especially egregious badness, and likely does not want to run like a squirrel in a wheel anymore. However the NK scheme does not permit him to retire before he is dead. There are many good reasons to end this artefact of history. The only one reason to stay - the joy of power. If Kim prefers long term survival of himself and his people, it makes sense to make friends while the terms are good.

    Didn't he feed his uncle to a pack of dogs or something?
