Strike on North Korea

It is hard for me to believe too, but I think they are very sincere and see that NK has no future in the modern world today with the economic sanctions that they have been burdened with.

Look at this statement: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...=.b5ba71999bb4

A senior White House official said the North Korean leader’s message included a “commitment to denuclearization” and emphasized that the United States would demand verification that the North is meeting its obligations in any prospective deal.

If Trump doesn't bolster and blow the tender oriental mind of Kim Joung un's mind, we could see real fruit come out of these peace talks.

Peace between NK and SK that is.

Any denuclearization of NK would certainly mean the USA leaving SK, which I think would be a good trade off and save 20,000 innocent soldiers at the DMZ at the same time.

I think only good will come out of this, but who can trust them (North Korea) not me

I can't find it online now, but I heard that the prelude to these talks is that the US should guarantee the safety of North Korea if they give up their nuclear program. Like we did with Iran on cyber warfare, remember that little clause in the Iranian deal?

So, either I am in the Twilight Zone, or maybe there is a real sliver of optimism going on here?

I still wouldn't trust the bugga and I'm wondering if such a commitment will be seen as a sign of weakness by those who would oppose him in his own country.

<Precisely what poor premier-for-life Xi is thinking...while keeping a straight face for the photo!

China has long been North Korea’s only treaty ally and largest trade partner. But that relationship has soured as Beijing has stepped up enforcement of sanctions, which economists say are starting to bite North Korea’s economy. Mr. Kim declined to meet a Chinese envoy who had recently visited Pyongyang.

There's some serious 'suckin' up' goin' on here-exactly who's the 'sucker' is unclear....

That must be one of those kiss and make up pictures ... I see lipstick on both of them

At first I thought it was KJU who made this uninspected travel to Beijing, as an desperat action, trying to get the Chinese to remember their friendly relations throughout the history and thereby ease on the sanction against KJU.

Now I have learned it was the Chinese leader who invited KJU.

Xi Jinping is probably thinking 'This guy really needs to do something about his hairstylist'.

This is how nuclear war with North Korea would or could unfold....an interesting read from the Washington Post.

The writer demonstrates a low opinion for the parties mentioned and those not mentioned. The article will get seriously considered for the drama it infuses in those that think like him or are open to such fantasizing.

Yes, anything is possible and nobody knows 100%, but his projection should not be followed.

The Washington Post published it, not out of accuracy, but for the drama.

Would make for a nice movie though!!
