Lol, hedging? How am I hedging?
Can you be so monstrously ignorant as to hold Trump responsible for the actions of another man?
Clearly you gave not read what I posted. Let me try again, using smaller words. NK currently has harsh sanctions against of which the most severe have been. Placed since MAGA took office.
These will remain in place until all aspects of the denuclearization are completed AND verified. If you are grasping what it is I’m saying then please try your very best to explain to us all any downside to the MAGA plan.
"Even if the little tyrant reneges we have lost zero, Nada, zip NOTHING!"
By putting forward the delusional and absolutist argument that Kim's inevitable bait and switch doesn't produce some kind of loss.
Yeah, if Trump had given them a Pallet of Money and a Nuclear Reactor (to build their Electric Grid, wink, wink), the Democrats would be singing his praises.
>>>By putting forward the delusional and absolutist argument that Kim’s inevitable bait and switch doesn’t produce some kind of loss<<<
Yep, even if he backtracks Kim did get an all expense paid two day Vacation in Singapore. I’ll be he didn’t even have to sit through a two hour Timeshare Sales presentation either.
So tell us all the inside information you are privy to which gives you the amazing ability to see into the future AND determine the actions of others.
And I note here you have failed, as I knew you would to explain the downside to the attempt by MAGA to accomplish that which all before have tried to do and failed. Not only failed but failed at a cost of millions of our tax dollars.
OK sparky, have at it and this time try omit the guess work and tea leaf reading and stick to reality in the here and now.
It never fails to amaze me that people think they can’t figure something like this out only because they aren’t privy to special information. There is no reason to think that correct analysis here requires this. What is needed is a willingness to spend some time looking at North Korea’s behavior on this subject over the last 3 decades.
See:
1985: North Korea signs Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. BROKEN
1992: North Korea signs Join Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Prohibited possession, production and testing of nukes. BROKEN
1994: Humanitarian aid agreement “Agreed Framework”: North Korea promises to stop producing plutonium. BROKEN
2000: Madeleine Albright “Expanded Framework”. BROKEN
2005: Six Party Talks 1. North Korea refuses to denuclearize
2007: Six Party Talks 2. North Korea agrees to declare and not proliferate nuclear programs. BROKEN
2012: North Korea says they will suspend testing and enrichment in exchange for aid. BROKEN
explain the downside to the attempt
By falling for this yet again we fail to exploit an exposed weakness. Every time North Korea starts negotiating their way into one of these “agreements” it accompanies a period of internal strife and weakness. They trade a useless lie for time to patch over their internal problem and strengthen their nuclear hand for the next go around. Every time we begin the negotiations anew we let a window of their internal weakness pass us by
“They trade a useless lie for time to patch over their internal problem and strengthen their nuclear hand for the next go around. Every time we begin the negotiations anew we let a window of their internal weakness pass us by”
With sanctions still and to remain firmly in place how does NK “patch over” their problem? The nation is dead broke and will run out of capital reserves by about Oct. Of this year.
You seem to believe the past must dictate the future, that if it was in the past it must be the same in the future. The reason for your mindless prognostications is simple. You hate Trump and like the Liberals each of his successes is a dagger to your heart.
You actually WANT Trump to fail because one more success added to his amazing successes to date is but another reminder of how poor your judgement has been.
Yeah right. Their mineral reserves are worth $10 Trillion.
Bttt.
5.56mm
“Yeah right. Their mineral reserves are worth $10 Trillion.”
Get back to me when you learn what is meant by capital reserves.
Oh and btw, mineral reserves are not readily cash convertible. Or did you think the NK have mined, refined and packaged them up in some warehouse so they can be sold to the highest bidder?
In a contest of intelligence between you and a box of hammers you’re no better than even money.
When you sell forward the extraction rights to China they are.
