Nanker Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Sure. They're talking. Big deal. The media is all over their recent A-Bomb tests and super-secret ICBM test flights over Japan, Wake, Hawaii, and San Francisco. There have been what - seven or eight A-Bomb tests just since March of this year, and 27 - if I count them correctly ICBMs fired at the US of A in that same time period. Trump's administration has done NOTHING to keep this country safe and out of war with the Great Leader of the struggling people's democracy North Korea.

Of coursr. There's always lower level talks to lay the groundwork for a summit. Usually, everything's decided before the big kahunas talk. Usually. I wouldn't trust either of these impulsive bozos to change terms before the handshake is over.

3rdnlng Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 Is NK serious or is this just going to be another example of Lucy holding the football? http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/kim-jong-un-plans-formal-nod-to-denuclearization-south-korea-says/ar-AAvYEtF?ocid=HPCOMMDHP15 SEOUL, South Korea — Kim Jong-un, North Korea’s leader, plans to formally announce his willingness to denuclearize his country when he meets with President Moon Jae-in of South Korea this month, an official from the South said on Tuesday. The statement is expected to be part of a joint declaration that the two leaders will adopt when they meet on April 27, said Mr. Moon’s chief of staff, Im Jong-seok. Negotiators from both Koreas have agreed on a rough framework for the joint declaration, he said. They are still discussing other aspects of the joint statement, such as whether the two Koreas would commit to holding further summit meetings on a regular basis, Mr. Im said. South Korea is also trying to persuade North Korea that Mr. Moon and Mr. Kim should hold a joint news conference at the end of their meeting in Panmunjom, the so-called truce village on the inter-Korean border.
row_33 Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 that's how they negotiate.... a lot of patience is required with all countries in Asia leading off bowing and scraping and apologizing, like Carter and Obama, is the worst beta move possible with this type of diplomacy

During the W admin, Rice and Powell were sent to China to negotiate, a major first for African-Americans in international diplomacy unfortunately race riots broke out in Cincinnati at this time and took up all of the lazy media's attention

{::'KayCeeS::} Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) North Korea developed their nuclear program as a deterrent. They want to do their own thing without interference. There is no way in hell they will actually shoot off a nuke against any country. Because they would be obliterated within the hour. You don't think they know that? They've insulated themselves from the West's attempts to coup d'etat for the last 60 years, and what, you think that's just stupid luck? Of course not. With an active nuclear program, it gives them the ability to negotiate the best possible relationships with whatever countries. Not too difficult to understand.

And yet here they are, suddenly offering to denuclearize. It could be that North Korea had other reasons to avoid such deals ...

NK knows that we could crush them and thinks that we just might do that if they continue with their nuclear program. OTOH they could be just !@#$ing with us as they have in the past.

But both of those countries have a border with North Korea. So obviously, that's a serious national security issue for both Russia and China, no matter what. "If" North Korea is offering to denuclearize, it will probably be something like Iran: with serious economic/trade considerations that will enable them to engage in the world economy without sacrificising their way of life. In other words: Russia and China are "vouching" for North Korea, because both of those countries have certain assurances/deals/understandings with North Korea which now allows North Korea to deal . And we, as the US, can't ignore this because we certainly can't ignore anything Russia or China does. That would be my hypothesis, anyway. I have no illusion that it's the total truth, but I think it's a very reasonable theory.
