TOKYO — The United States and Japan opened the door Sunday to new nuclear talks with North Korea if the saber-rattling country lowered tensions and honored past agreements, even as it rejected South Korea's latest offer of dialogue as a "crafty trick."
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters in Tokyo that North Korea would find "ready partners" in the United States if it began abandoning its nuclear program...

Kim Yung Dung will never give up nukes, he will start selling them!
pucker up
Here’s a thought, nuke them first and see what happens.
It’s actually provably impossible that this is anything more than the usual blah-blah-blah. John Bolton was on Fox this morning and listed, for example, four times in various administrations where they declared that it would be “unacceptable!” for NK to achieve nuclear status.
Let’s go back and look at who gave them nuclear technology in the first place. It was Clinton. And now we have more democrats thinking we can talk them out of keeping them. They must be idiots or something.
NK has been whipping the Department of State diplomats at every turn for many years. Unfortunately the DOS has been a laughing stock of the rest of the world a long as I can remember. It is our military they respect, and rightfully so!
Its simple if we had a Guy like Reagan Just say go head nuke us or nuke south Korea and we nuke you country back into the pre stone age
Wonder what we will offer them this time to “be good?” Give a kid candy often enough for stopping yelling and he learns yelling gets him candy. Of course I wouldn’t expect our State department to understand the nuance of that, even with Kerry there.
We should fully remilitarize Japan, or at least start advocating it. That would get the attention of the Chinese and the Russians.
Japan would never go for it, if they had to pay for any of it.
They don’t have to. In fact, we don’t want them to. we just have to make the Chinese and Russians think about it.
They want billions of dollars for a false promise to end their nuclear program.... we have done this before.
we should?
How about let them arm themselves, they already one of the biggest navies on Earth
Big sign of weakness, but then, that's what you would expect of anything Kerry is involved in.
Our administration is a malicious joke. True words were uttered by a great historian who said “In declining states the leadership intuitively choses the most harmful course of action.”-1888
How about complicit?
Its clear that John the Dope intends to run for President again in 2016. He wants to campaign bragging on avoiding a nuclear crisis in Korea. What he won’t say is that it probably cost the US taxpayer 300-500 million in new aid to keep the North Korean thugs quiet for the moment.
. . . Pretty sure you didn’t read the whole post. and the Japanese navy hasn’t been formidable since the battle of midway.
