"The North Korean government has decreed that every able-bodied citizen must turn in 100 kg (220 lbs) of human manure a day to be used for fertilizer, to bolster the agricultural sector."
I smell some really rank BS in this one. Yes they are hurtin’, and the way to fix it is for them to give up their nukes period.
Mean ol’ heartless PDJT wants to win this, and get it over with now, not leaving it to someone that isn’t going to handle it his way in the future. Git er done.
Hey FatKid, yes you fatso, in a starving country, give up your nukes you maniac. Have your nuclear technology at your seaport awaiting pick up by our teams to dismantle and recycle them.
That is right fat kid, give it up, you lost, either give up your nukes or your own slaves eat you.
...
They’ve been hurting for years. Kim feeds his army and the people starve.
Just another UK Socialist mouthing off about something he has nothing to do with.
I’ve often wondered if Kim would follow through on a plan that would open NK to far more contacts with SK and the outside world, and the investments Trump talks about and the chance for far greater economic opportunity for NK citizens.
Where would that leave Kim? With more freedom and far better economic prospects, would the NKs want Kim still lording over them as a pot bellied dictator?
I doubt it. Not convinced Kim wants to see NK become more like SK, even if the Chinese would allow it to be set in motion with a denuclearization deal.
Kim probably would have turned in his nukes by now but for Hillary’s double cross of Qaddafi. We may not sympathize with him but we can understand his justifiable fears.
Perhaps some solid guarantees can be offered that some future Dem won’t decide to betray him to score political points.
I was an MP I Corp. Grp. HQ in ‘66 Camp Red Cloud. I remember the stories, and it never got better.
Food would be exempt from sanctions for humanitarian reasons.
The humanitarian exemption is in the sanctions.
Plenty to quibble with here. But a good overall summary!
We gave food money to Saddam....He built 50....yes 50...new palaces.
Oh yeah.
Just pointing out an obvious fallacy in the article.
Otherwise it’s pretty good.
I Like the mention of “intermediate” goals. Like with China, we’ll have to settle for less than we want with NK.
And, like with China, we have to get what we need.
(Cue Rolling Stones...)
If Kim wants the sanctions to go away, all he has to do is agree to Trump’s conditions.
I think its in Kims best interest to make some kind of deal with Trump that helps his people these people have never knew nothing but pure struggle and if there living conditions and access to food was not a problem anymore Kim would be seen as a true living God your not going to turn on the man thats feeding you and these people are loyal to the death to this dictator..
Absolutely!
And Kim’s young enough that he could have a George Washington-level of admiration for decades. And great wealth!
I can only explain his behavior by China’s influence, especially with the military.
Yet leaders have rejected clearly good choices throughout history.
The ‘Rats always make things difficult
They don’t want the Kim regime to go away, its an easy boogy man the cia can prop up
SEND A BOMB DOWN THE NUKE SITE. END OF STORY

Bingo. Libya and Iraq are case study on the price of compliance on non-proliferation for nonconformist regimes. We should expect more countries pursuing weapon programs in future making the planet a more dangerous place. With India and Pakistan in charge of nuclear deterrent it is already scary. Now imagine Ephiopia and Eritrea on the same terms.
Sounds like he's praising Kim's skill while trying to imply Pres. Trump is an ill-prepared dumbass.
Well, we shall see. Pres. Trump had the guts to try, something every President since Truman did not.
In the long run, Trump will win out.
