Monks Support Trump for Nobel Peace Prize

3. Do you believe this would please the Cambodian Monks who, by their nature, want peace?
NO, I DON'[T BELIEVE BUDDHISM ADVOCATES FOR INHUMANE TACTICS, DISRESPECT FOR THE EARTH AND HUMANS OF ALL PERSUASIONS.....I BELIEVE PEACE IS OBTAINED BY HUMILITY RESPECT AND A REALIZATION THAT WE R ALL ONE....TRUMP DOES NOT EMBRACE THAT CONCEPT......THEREFORE THE VIDEO POSTED. I KNEW WAS A SHAM....ANY MORE QUESTIONS???

Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who kept their swords.

Yeah, how do you know what a Cambodian monk thinks about Trump’s peace negotiation that ended that war? I’ve seen no evidence that the video is fake either. If it was fake, your worthless sources would be calling it fake.

And why not answer #1 and #2? Hard to accept the truth ?

It really didn't take long, but there's a good reason why your trusted sources haven't informed you about this... you know the reason, right? Anyway, if you don't trust Reuters, you're gonna have to delete a whole bunch of your past posts. Buddhist monks are indeed thanking Trump for his efforts and are endorsing him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Just be an adult for once and admit that Trump did something good... you can also admit you were wrong, but that's about as likely to happen... not

Buddhist monks hold portraits of U.S. President Donald Trump during a march for peace, in Phnom Penh

Why did Cambodian monks thank Donald Trump?

The Buddhist monks were conducting a peace march for 1.8 miles from Wat Phnom to the Independence Monument in central Phnom Penh. Along the way, they stopped at the U.S. Embassy to show their gratitude for Trump's role in negotiating a ceasefire to stop the violence between Cambodia and Thailand, according to Buddhist Door Global. One of the monks also nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize, a gesture that numerous world leaders have made in recent months.

The fragile ceasefire was negotiated after five days of fighting in late July that led to the deaths of dozens of people and to the displacement of more than 260,000 people along the border. The ceasefire, which Trump urged on but was likely to come together anyway, has brought an end to major fighting, although both sides have accused the other of violating it.

The territorial dispute between the two nations remains unresolved, which is why the ceasefire is so fragile.

Ven. Khem Sorn, chief monk of Phnom Penh, said that the march had been organized to honor those who died and also to support the Cambodian government's efforts to work toward peace.

“It means that we only want to live side-by-side with Thailand as a good neighbor, living with unity and peace with each other,” he said, per The Associated Press.

“This is the spirit of a nation that loves and desires peace,” he added. “If any side wishes to continue fighting, that is their choice. But for Cambodians, especially the monks who follow Buddhism, our spirit is to protect peace. Even if false statements are made about our country, if we remain truthful and united, we will prevail.”

The United States and China were both putting pressure on the countries to come to a ceasefire, with Trump threatening to delay trade talks unless an agreement was reached. The underlying conflict is still simmering, though, and it's clear that the commitment to peace on both sides is fragile, at least for the moment.

Even so, Trump has taken credit for halting the violence, and understandably so, per The Guardian. What might be needed in order to see a lasting peace, though, is a firm commitment to more in-depth negotiation that resolves the underlying dispute and makes another conflict less likely. For the moment, it's unclear whether the president and his administration are committed to a longer process that can push Thailand and Cambodia toward a peace that lasts.

WHAT WAS BLOCKED FROM POST WAS THE MARCH WAS TO HONOR THE DEAD AND ALONG THE WAY THEY STOPPED TO THANK TRUMP, ONE MONK OFFERED A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE STATEMENT....CAN TRUMP GO THE DISTANCE IS THE QUESTION...UNTIL THERE IS SOLID EVIDENCE OF ALL THE WARS ENDING, NOT JUST TEMPORARY CEASE FIRES AND HE HOLDS THE LINE TO GET IT DONE...THEN I WILL TELL U HE DESERVES A PEACE PRIZE...BUT THERE HAS TO BE A SOLID,STABLE CONSTRUCT....AS OF NOW, THERE IS NOT....

He is amazing!

The point was that Buddhist monks were thanking Trump and you said it was fake. You are still clenching your fists hoping for failure while the people on both sides are hoping peace holds. Again, what a horrible way to look at good news.

TDS is going to ruin what’s left of your life if you let it.
