Maybe it is all show...maybe only partly a show...who knows. At this point I am with the President in that maybe it will happen (peace, etc) maybe not. But if Kim the Chia wants to just have a run of the mill fascist state, then so be it. As long as he gets along with his neighbors and at least tries to get along with the rest of the world and doesn’t pull too many shennanigans.
I am uner no illusion that there will be re-unification in the near future. But I can see that there are two peaceful Koreas entering into mutual beneficial trade pacts, etc. North Korea has to reach a certain level of civilization before there can be any thoughts of a one Korea. At least that is my thinking. Is he ruthless? Is he a Killer? Press says he is. Frankly, I do not know what to belive anymore so time will tell.
If NK decides to give up nukes and development, then I say we give them a peace treaty. Yeah, yeah, it was a UN thing, but driven by the US at the time. I say that we offer protection, like we do SOuth Korea. He probably won’t take it, but we can offer. Very intersting time these days...
