Koreas to make peace

[Jumi]

I doubt it although Kimmy can happily go back executing his staff and citizenry with anti-aircraft guns.

He probably will keep it cool for a while. If they make the peace treaty there will be less excuses for that.

Anyways North Korea were the invaders starting the Korean War. I suspect it bides the country enough time to become more powerful for the future. That of course will be for another generation to contend with once they embolden themselves to invade again.

It was so long ago that I don't think it matters who started it. The people responsible are all dead or elderly.

It's at least a step in the right direction and hopefully it's for the right motives.

Trump: ‘Good chance’ North Korean leader will do right thing | Newsday
Say whatever you want about Trump but I think he deserves a little credit in all this.

 

[Father Heathen]

My wallet is guardedly hopeful.

Now for the provocative question....
If peace breaks out, will Trump be blamed?

I actually welcome the possibility that he's not entirely useless.

Not having partisan views is good. If someone you regard useless does something useful, it's not bad to support that and oppose the other things.

Well, like they say, a broken clock is right twice a day.

Want to know what will convince me that Kimmy is at least half serious about at least a protracted peace?

The complete dismantling of the DMZ to pre Korean War status. That would be the canary in the mine for me.

This perhaps is pertinent - I didn't even know they had such things as the Falcon air-to-air nuclear missiles, or about the incident:

October 25, 1962 - A bear almost turns the Cuban Missile Crisis hot

The Cuban Missile Crisis is perhaps the closest the world has ever come to global nuclear war. Four instances over the 13-day event stand out in particular, the first one happening on October 25, 1962.

Tensions were already high during the crisis, and the US military was placed on DEFCON 3, two steps away from nuclear war.

Just after midnight on October 25, a guard at the Duluth Sector Direction Center in Minnesota saw a figure attempting to climb the fence around the facility. The guard, worried that the figure was a Soviet saboteur, shot at the figure and activated the sabotage alarm.

This triggered air raid alarms to go off at all air bases in the area. Pilots at Volk Field in neighboring Wisconsin to panic, since they knew that no tests or practices would happen while the military was on DEFCON 3.

The pilots were ordered to their nuclear armed F-106A interceptors, and were taxiing down the runway when it was determined the alarm was false. They were stopped by a car that had raced to the airfield to tell the pilots to stop.

The intruder turned out to be a bear.

Not even a Russian bear (or Soviet one).

Folks, the world is running out of oil and soon thereafter natural gas in amounts we can rely on as our energy source. Nuclear electric energy is our future sustainable energy source.

Having said that we need all the existing centrifuges we can make as well as all the uranium we can find to run these electric nuclear generation plants.

The world needs to “buy” their enriched uranium giving North Korea a good money source to improve the living standards of their country.

Anyone here agree or disagree?
