Problem I have with that is I don’t trust the word of the North Koreans, or the Russians, or the Red Chines. Not one bit.
Neither do I. Someday the South will have to do it. Better now, while fatboy doesn’t have a stockpile of nukes.
This is such a bad deal that it was not seriously proposed. And it’s being hyped by this sh!tty blog.
It’s an opening position to try to get talks in place, but it does NOTHING to address core US interests.
And make no mistake, the US has strategic, vital interests at stake. Sufficient to fight a nuclear war over.
Our strategic interests are:
1. Complete dismantling of the NORK Nuclear, Bacterial and Chemical weapons programs. Verified by US and Japanese inspectors in the manner they see fit. Because these programs are a direct and imminent threat to the below interests AND, soon, the US mainland.
2. Protection for our treaty allies in the North Pacific. The preservation of their capital stock and markets. Japan and South Korea must remain the US sphere of influence.
3. Protection of the sea lines of communication between allies in the North Pacific and the US mainland.
Without these three core strategic interests being satisfactorily addressed, there is absolutely nothing to talk about.
