I don't know what's wrong with North Korea. I really don't think we would ever invade them if they just gave up the Nuclear weapons and stopped threatening people. If they think this is the way to avoid a war then they must be kidding themselves. I think they are making a huge mistake by provoking us. Maybe they have finally figured out there policy is going to have the opposite effect to what they want. This is just the beginning but it could be a very big development.

It's a little early to break out the champagne, guys. This isn't great news.

This is a shell game. There are literally hundreds of places that we would need to inspect in North Korea. Being allowed to make a quick visit to one site that we used to have full time access to is not a net gain for our side.

North Korea's nuclear program is a long term project of almost unparalleled secrecy. In the year that we've been gone, and the decade before that, any number of underground facilities could have been tapped to support this effort. We will be able to superficially check the current state of affairs at Yongbyon, but this won't tell us much that we don't already know.

I am not impressed. I'd caution anyone against being overly excited about this.
