Why would anyone doubt the good intentions of a crazy fat kid playing with matches and about to burn his own house down.

No Trojan Horse here but maybe a Pyongyang Pony,

Actually, Kim is trying to project the appearance of being a real nation.

The concept of being an athlete is is incomprehensible when you are starving and corrupted by worms

The act has nothing to do with peace in spite of the old gray whore’s wishful thinking.

It’s a tactic by Kim Jong un to make us look like the bad guys should we continue to beat the war drums. A tactic is just a manipulation, a maneuver as in a game of chess.

Kim Jong Un has no intention of negotiating....let’s put it this way he negotiates like the Democrats negotiate. Everything his way is just fine with him.

The first bead of sweat showing on King Fatty’s forehead, as heat from the sanctions starts to build.

No need to offer him anything, now that sanctions are starting to work. Ramp up the embargo on his fuel through winter. Make him beg for a deal, and make him pay a lot for it.

I see a Trojan Horse.

Haven't the Norks worked on biological warfare? Couldn't the Norks take over a "desolated" South Korea?

Suppose North and South Korea were to negotiate reunification. The economically prosperous and wealthy South would hold every trump card. The negotiations would surely favor the South.

But if the North could put a functional nuclear arsenal on the table, that changes the balance considerably.

The only thing North Korea has going for itself is Rogue Nation status and membership in the Axis of Evil. It is leveraging that advantage to produce something of value. That way it doesn’t have to show up at the Reunification Party empty-handed.

At least Kim Yong-Un has some sense and is trying to resolve the crisis peacefully. ...................... So you would put trust in a man that murders his own relatives? Even Hitler didn’t do that. Its a commie thing.
