Excellent.

At least Kim Yong-Un has some sense and is trying to resolve the crisis peacefully.

Trump's peace through strength is working.

This doesn't mean he would negotiate away his new arsenal. Actually the chance of it happening is almost zero. This is a short-term tactical move NK frequently makes.

Do you really think peace with a crazy man can be negotiated?

Are you related to Neville Chamberlain?

Giving N. Korea any form of participation in the Olympics is merely rewarding the POS. I know Moon will probably be foolish enough to do so, but there should not be any such concessions until N. Korea truly changes course. Giving Kim Jong Un diplomatic triumphs without sufficient reciprocation is just silly.

Too funny. Two posts in a row about rocket boy. One says he has his finger on the nuclear button and will never take any crap from the USA and the other says he’s a good guy making nice. BS.

This little POS really needs to go away in a puff of smoke along with any siblings or other family who can cause trouble for the people of NK or us again. Poof. Gone and forgotten. In a perfect world it would have already happened.

I’ve been predicting a quick hard and fast war with the little asshat for a few weeks now. I figure sometime around March - June is when it will happen. It has to happen sometime; the world can’t let the little twerp live or have launch capable nukes. Just can’t have that. Too destabilizing for the world in general.

Remember this is a New York Times story that has a tendency to misdirect and create the impression that it is Moon that is getting Yung Un to back off. The reality is that South Korea’s Moon in a cowardly appeasement weak leader.He is a useful tool. This is a message to China to give the appearance they are being reasonable to drive a wedge between the US and China to get them to back off sanctions to buy them more time to develop nuclear tech while China presses for phony 6 party talks that will go nowhere

offering to send a delegation to the Winter Olympics in South Korea

His delegation will be long, cylindrical, and have fin. I wouldn't trust the bastages an inch.

Why do I smell the rancid odor of a call for been there, done that useless six party talks from China, Russia and appeasement oriented Moon while the sanctions get lifted and buying more time for North Korea to finish up their program?
Nothing short of regime change resolves this problem.

Too funny - he is out of oil/fuel and the South is starting to seize the ships breaking the embargo on such - going to try to get folks to loosen the strangle hold.....again.

Mr. Kim proposed immediate dialogue with South Korea to discuss the North’s participation in the Olympics.


Not sure this is a positive development at all. NK wants to have a presence at the Olympics w/o giving up anything in return. The NYT is as predictable as a stopped watch — they will promote anything that smacks of appeasement.

The New York Times apparently believes in peace through weakness.

It won’t work, and is a particularly bad idea with an irrational and narcissistic dictator.

Why would anyone doubt the good intentions of a crazy fat kid playing with matches and about to burn his own house down.

No Trojan Horse here but maybe a Pyongyang Pony,

Actually, Kim is trying to project the appearance of being a real nation.

The concept of being an athlete is is incomprehensible when you are starving and corrupted by worms

The act has nothing to do with peace in spite of the old gray whore’s wishful thinking.

It’s a tactic by Kim Jong un to make us look like the bad guys should we continue to beat the war drums. A tactic is just a manipulation, a maneuver as in a game of chess.

Kim Jong Un has no intention of negotiating....let’s put it this way he negotiates like the Democrats negotiate. Everything his way is just fine with him.

The first bead of sweat showing on King Fatty’s forehead, as heat from the sanctions starts to build.

No need to offer him anything, now that sanctions are starting to work. Ramp up the embargo on his fuel through winter. Make him beg for a deal, and make him pay a lot for it.

Suppose North and South Korea were to negotiate reunification. The economically prosperous and wealthy South would hold every trump card. The negotiations would surely favor the South.

But if the North could put a functional nuclear arsenal on the table, that changes the balance considerably.

The only thing North Korea has going for itself is Rogue Nation status and membership in the Axis of Evil. It is leveraging that advantage to produce something of value. That way it doesn’t have to show up at the Reunification Party empty-handed.
