Bolton knows N.Korea very well so I understand the conditions....and you certainly start out requesting far more than you really hope to have in the end when dealing with N.Korea....
Their does have to be an economic/business arrangements between the Koreans , South Korea has to get their skin in this game big time. Both Korean leaders want the entire world ‘paying’ for the rebuilding of the nation...so “pay” your fair share to get there.
South Korean people don’t want to join with the North....for obvious reasons....it’s a hugely different thing than when the Berlin Wall went down.......the people have had decades of lies and indoctrination that does not just go away. Once there is peace....and the initial joy the Northern population will be very demanding. They’ll be angry at all the lies, angry at why the world didn’t do something sooner....etc. etc. So what’s important is to make sure the populations remains as stable as possible.
I seem to recall that there was a huge intellectual and cultural divide between the two Germanys. The East brought nothing to the table, but a generation of two later, and it’s like old times again.
I agree, it would be like opening Cuba back up. The people living there are have no resemblance to the mainland Cubans.
But heres the key...the young people. Don’t underestimate what can happen once your unharness freedom of the young. ONce the get a taste of the South, look out... I mean look out. It’s the older generations that will harvest the anger...
No, I actually see the North joining the South much easier.
I read somewhere that Fatso personal money reserves will run out in October. Don’t know how anyone would know this, but I’ve read this more than once. I also read where we know exactly the bank accounts of Putin.
Don’t think that this is a small item. It’s huge. Kim can be history in the blink of an eye. It would be smart for him to be assured that he retains his power. don’t know how he will, as there are many in the North who probably don’t want to see a joining up with the South..
But who knows. The Christian faith is huge in the Philipines. NOt sure about South Korea, but I think it’s strong there too.
There could be a giant improvement in the quality of life world wide if we could join up with the economies in the Pacific. It almost looks like the world is going in that direction regardless of what happens now.
Amazing. The only way this will stop for now, is if Trump is killed.
