I agree with you. And IMHO, that's what all these "diplomatic" trips were about.

Remember what Trump said about secrets...."send a courier".

Tubby lol!

The rest of your post, sobering and disturbing.

Japan waited SO LONG to end WWII and STILL didn’t want to.

Give up!!

Sounds like a very hollow threat to me.

There have been plenty of truly evil men throughout history that didn’t care about the loss of life, as they were that power hungry. Does Kim fit this profile.

I heard it only takes one...

The only real experience we have says it takes two.

If we air-dropped food and other life sustaining supplies into North Korea on a continuing basis, it couldn't help but create a different impression of the outside world in those people's minds.

Nope they would run to thank the glorious leader for the food, they are that brain washed.

Yes. You would tend to think (rationally) of these dictators as putting their own survival as the top priority, but it doesn’t seem to be the case. Saddam had 9 months to withdraw and make some concessions that would virtually guarantee his survival and continued power. All that time watching a massive buildup of coalition forces. If he withdrew from Quate and offered some concessions he would robbed the coalitions will to invade. But no, Saddam chose to hide and hand dug hole under a small house in some little village. Did he take his sons? No. Did he care what happened to even his sons? Probably not.

I think it might be better to model such dictators more like serial killers, which they are -btw. Each conquest is ever darker and the risks taken
are incrementally greater. Enjoying the press and even attempting to create the greatest possible spectacle (Ted Bundy defending himself in court).

Ultimately, I think Kim would be the type to take everyone down with him. If he can’t deliver a nuke, he’ll use it on his own soil. The two fission reactors he has will be made into Chernobyl’s. The question is would this military follow such orders.

They haven’t, but there is nothing wrong with their trigger finger whether it is on an AK-47 or nuke.

The biggest problem is that Trump’s promise of an economic progress will not be realized.

>How long could the PRK sustain a war?<

.
If they go nuclear it will be of a short duration but of great distress on both sides.

Not many smiles anywhere.

You’d better be quaking in your boots. If we can be invaded by muzzies coming across our southern border, Kim can easily smuggle a nuke through San Diego by means of coyotes.
