Frankly, I didn't expect to see this in my lifetime. If it really happens, I don't know who to credit. I'm sure Trump deserves a fair amount of the credit, but perhaps the Pyeongchang olympics were also a factor and maybe China just got fed up. I'd sure like to hear an interview with Kim some day, about why he did this (assuming he really does it).
It is a diplomatic maneuver by the North Koreans to get from underneath the sanctions. So far, they are giving up nothing, Kim said he would destroy the nuclear testing tunnel. Duh, the tunnel is no good to start with, the majority of it collapsed during the last nuclear test, and the rest of it is contaminated by all the radioactive material from the all the other nuclear tests. Furthermore, the North Koreans already perfected the making of a powerful nuclear bomb, so they do not need the tunnel. The most the US will get from this meeting is a promise from the Koreans to stop missile and nuclear testing for the exchange of economic help! The same old trick!
Breaking news.... N Korea cancelled high level talks with S Korea. http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/news/2018/05/16/0200000000AEN20180516000500315.html 2018/05/16 03:29 SEOUL, May 16 (Yonhap) -- North Korea said Wednesday it is canceling high-level talks with South Korea planned for later in the day due to ongoing military exercises between the South and the United States. The North's Korean Central News Agency said the Max Thunder drills between the South Korean and U.S. air forces are a rehearsal for invasion of the North and a provocation amid warming inter-Korean ties. The high-level talks were meant to take place on the southern side of the truce village of Panmunjom to discuss follow-up measures to the two Korean leaders' summit last month.
Excellent. It helps to confirm that the U.S has not deviated from preparing for Plan B just because there is talk in the air. Don't kid yourself though. Kim has heard all about South Korea expressing fears that Trump may cut an easier deal with North Korea than South Korea wants, so Chubby is looking for a reason to skip meeting with South Korea and just meet with the Americans.
I am all in favor of it. Kim has led all the lefties into believing that he has mastered this nuke game so he does not need to do anymore development..............ahhhh, not exactly......if you look at his tests over half of them explode at or soon after launch or land wherever the rocket wants to rather than where planned. So go ahead and launch that ICBM Kim and let us know how it works out for ya if it lands in China. Shits and giggles for all.
Good. Take no shiite from Chubby. Three prisoners home. Nothing given away. Should always explore peaceful alternatives first. Done.
