North and South Korea are slated to engage in high-level military talks on Thursday for the first time in more than 10 years, a new report states.

The discussions are designed to build upon South Korean President Moon Jae-in's historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in April, which resulted in an agreement to sign a peace treaty and a stated dedication to denuclearization, South Korea’s Yonhap News reports.

The discussions will likely target restoring inter-border military communications, establishing regular military talks, and creating a hotline for North and South Korean military leaders, per Yonhap.

Additionally, the meeting may address recovering remains of fallen soldiers from the Demilitarized Zone.

Good on Trump. “Churchill actually said, ‘Meeting jaw to jaw is better than war.’ Very true.

This is really quite a deal....and shows how coordinated Trump is with S.Korea and China....it would not be moving along as this is unless it's really a go......still trust but verify.

Well let me see.....Trump and Kim met ...first time two days ago to agree officially with the plan to remove highly complicated and deadly material out of N.Korea.

You should lend them you’re magic wand.......

must be one of the ‘instant gratification’ folks thinking removing nuclear material is like driving up to a hamburger joint to pick up your order.

Trump forgot to leave behind a nuke amnesty box.

U.S. intelligence wants inspectors to access roughly 100 sites, including Yongbyon, the nation’s main atomic complex just 50 miles north of Pyongyang, as well as a factory in Chongsu, near the Chinese border, suspected of producing nuclear material....The only way to know if North Korea’s declarations are accurate is to verify them through on the ground presence.

Additionally... the Trump administration wants to destroy the weapons itself with assistance from other countries. Components would then be shipped to a research lab in Tennessee.

In addition to giving up its nuclear weapons, the U.S. also wants North Korea to end its ballistic missile program and get rid of all of its biological and chemical weapons.

A lot of this is underground.

This image worries me...

Is frog-marching part of normal politics in NK?

Kim has gout. Just an FYI. Doesn’t look like a frog march to me. Looks more like a lets help dear leader.

“I notice Kim still has his nukes.”

They need to work out DMZ issues, for a heightened flow of inspectors back and forth, before the operation starts. The US and our allies want to disassemble the stuff ourselves on site, rather than trust the Norks to do it. A lot of people and equipment will be driving back and forth.

Also, they are likely in talks to develop a peace treaty to end the war. That is why things unrelated to WMDs are being addressed, like repatriating the remains of those killed in the war.

I did not think of that.

Dear God, I hope you are correct.

The interactions I saw of Trump and Kim from Singapore looked to me like the interactions between a father and son.

If it was an act on Kim’s part then he should win Best Actor for the performance.

I have a feeling that Trump told Kim that the US was going to provide him personal security. Kim speaks English, and he and Trump were alone for short periods of time...without even translators.

I think he was not the actual leader of NK, I think he was used by China as a puppet. I believe that Trump wants Kim to actually be the leader of NK.

We are watching history here, very important history..I pray it all ends well... The deep state is not happy about what Trump is trying to do in NK.

The short video clips I have seen of Kim being shown the actual conditions most poor people in NK endure were powerful! I do not think Kim actually knew how bad things were...he was weeping like a baby...it was not an act.

I have now added Kim to the long list of people I ask God to guide and protect whenever I pray.

When Trump showed him The Beast there was a point to it. I followed at least all the media details for the summit. I think Trump was offering to sell him one. Possibly the sale would happen before denuking to protect his ample rump. Un looked mighty happy after the meeting. Hell Trump even made him a propaganda film to rally his people to his back. The dudes in the funny hats run the country and use Un. They are mostly 70 to 80 years old. To quote Un, Dotards.

He has nukes and a hell of a nuclear mess in his backyard too.

Neither China nor South Korea really relished the idea of living next to a nuclear slob. Bomb threats or no.
