Trump’s Stunningly Effective North Korea Policy Leaves Professional Diplomatic Corps Gobsmacked
CTH ^ | March 8, 2018

Posted on 03/08/2018 6:25:13 PM PST by Helicondelta

The statement tonight by South Korean National Security Adviser Chung Eui-yong is so jaw-dropping in significance it has left the professional diplomatic apparatus stunned.

A year of targeted and strategic geopolitical policy execution by President Trump, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley has resulted in North Korean leader Kim Jong-un accepting denuclearization and requesting a meeting with President Trump to achieve terms therein.

The possibility of a willingly denuclearized Korean peninsular is such an astounding policy victory; it is difficult to conceptualize. Here’s the statement from South Korea’s Chung Eui-yong:

“Good evening, today I had the privilege of briefing President Trump on my recent visit to Pyongyang, North Korea. I’d like to thank President Trump, the vice-president and his wonderful national security team, including my close friend General McMaster.”

“I thanked President Trump that his leadership, and his maximum pressure policy together with international solidarity, brought us to this juncture. I expressed President Moon Jae-in’s personal gratitude for President Trump’s leadership.”

“I told President Trump that in our meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said he is committed to denuclearization. Kim pledged that North Korea will refrain from any further nuclear or missile tests; he understands that the routine joint military exercises between the Republic of Korea and the United States must continue. And he expressed his eagerness to meet President Trump as soon as possible.”

I have a feeling that Donald Trump has made good on quite a few threats against NK....we just haven’t heard about them.

North and South Korea only have a cease fire in place.

North and South Korea have to go into a FULL treaty with penalties and full withdrawal from the border.

If they don’t talk there will be a war. And if there is a war millions will die.

You sound like the Obama crony Farkas claiming that this development is “unfortunate”.

Maybe you missed his UN speech where he threatened to “destroy” them.

A face to face is total victory for Kim.

Kim is suckering Trump.

They have to do this via Satellite. I don't want President Trump shaking hands with that piece of sh**.

Sure. A total reversal of NK's posture for as long as anyone can remember is real blow to the Trump administration.

What the hell are you smoking?

Why wouldn't the Norks simply try the same ploy again..?

Maybe because over 200 engineers and technicians killed, a mountain collapsed and prior to that a streak from space?

I trust Kim far less than the distance I could throw him. Still say he could be trying to buy time. Sounds positive but keep his feet to the fire.

The neo-cons lead by Cracker Graham and John Bolton wanted to start a war with NK.

I saw mention of this collapse someplace; do you have a link?

(Weapon causing the collapse could have been “Rods From God”)

Someone on the Q-anon thread interpreted Q’s drop as meaning the CIA has been running NK for many years, and that Trumps people have finally gotten the upper had.

I thought that was ridiculous.
But now.........

re: your thread that was just pulled.

The moderator says “search still works” yet I can’t find that Daily Caller article in search using “quick” or “archive” or “match all words” or “match any word.”

Weird!

Pretty sure there will be no handshake and no smiling for the cameras.

Trump loathes Un.

The tariffs hurt China.

...and while others are distracted by the cost of washing machines, I believe this was a lever that brought NK to the table.

A couple of links:

WHAT HAPPENED IN NORTH KOREA 🇰🇵 ON OCTOBER 10, 2017? THE RODS FROM GOD MAY HAVE NUKED KIM JONG-UN’S ENTIRE NUCLEAR TEAM…..

As many as 200 construction workers are feared dead after the collapse of a tunnel at a nuclear test site in North Korea
