I actually agree, somewhat with NK. The other countries at the table bring nothing (unless one is South Korea). From the NK perspective I can’t see any benefit to talking to anybody but us.
The problem is that the NK is nothing but a pack of liars and there is no point in discussing anything with them when experience has shown us that their word and written agreements are worthless.
Well they might talk to Taiwan.
If they rattle the nuclear saber they should assess how the other nuclear powers are going to react.
“From the NK perspective I cant see any benefit to talking to anybody but us.”
What do we need to talk about? The one and only thing we want from NK is for them not to blow up Korea or Japan, otherwise we want or need krapall from them. Why is it up to the US and only the US to pay NK to not blow people up? Why cant Germany pay them?
