What if they keep everything the same and just use it as a way to get around sanctions?

Yeah there's a chance of that (which'd essentially be no change, and so is more of a neutral than a bad anyway), but at least this presents an opportunity for change, whereas for the past 20 years there basically hasn't been one.

US asked for South Korea to increase it's spending to $2 billion (which covers the whole cost), but were talked down to $889 million. An 8.2% increase from South Korea. Instead of the normal 5-year period. This one will last 1 year.

I am looking for History of (ancient) Korea contents I can listen/watch for my own enrichment. It's always something I keep an eye on but a recent online lecture of the Korean language from a linguist revised my interest of their history again. I have already searched audible, coursera, edX and TGC, none of them carry any Korean history. You got tons of Korean War history, tons of Chinese history lectures and handful of Japanese and Indian history courses. But there is nothing on Korea. I know there are books on Amazon but I am trying to find something I can listen to. Any suggestion?

Yeah outside of some 1-2 hour long iTunes U courses about specific things, as far as I'm aware there is nothing. There used to be a podcast but it got wiped from the internet (and not to be a dick since I know it was by a goon and got better, but the early episodes about the ancient stuff were pretty rough anyway).

Hi what's the name/keywords of the courses? I searched for long videos of "ancient korean history" on youtube, there are handful of good stuff from university and institutes that are not from Korean TV. I ll be listening to them during this long weekend. I also play with various online tts services this morning. They can't read the names correctly but they are not completely horrible. I will deal with the dead robot voice when I run out of youtube video to watch.

I can't find them anymore since iTunes U did some patch or something and garbled everything like a year ago, but there was one about Korean Buddhism and one about Korean art during Goryeo, one by the editor of Korean History in Maps about his book (but that went over some history too), and a few others I've forgotten. You might wanna try searches with goryeo/silla/baekje/goguryeo etc as dynasty names rather than just ancient history and you can probably find some more stuff. That said I would kinda caution against random youtube videos. Ancient Korean history is especially controversial and you're almost certainly getting a warped perspective on basically whatever you're looking for. Or at least read a book/the start of one (Michael J Seth's A History of Korea from Antiquity to Present is probably the best non-academic one out there right now, although it's a very low bar) so you can learn to spot the more egregious stuff more easily.

I spent the whole afternoon driving around Long Island picking up fire sale clothes for my baby and listen to the 3-day 6-hour presentations by Harvard professor Arne Westad talking about China-Korea relationship. This is as good as any academia audiobook I can find.

Oh yeah university lectures are fine, I mean the videos by randos. Bad for any history but doubly so for early Korea. e: although I say that, but even the academic stuff isn't free of biases; there's just so much in Korean history that isn't settled. unless you find a source that's explicitly going over all the different sides of the argument, assume what you hear is at least somewhat biased and don't be surprised if you hear something later that seems to contradict it. For example, I listened to a lecturer for iirc a relatively prestigious university (can't find the specifics now, thanks iTunes U) nonchalantly say the Han Commanderies (the part of Korea ruled by Han China 2000 years ago) were just trading outposts with really limited reach; not flat out "wrong," but definitely just one side of the argument in a very open debate. The academic books are generally much better about at least paying lip service to multiple arguments than it's necessarily even feasible for a lecturer (no matter how knowledgeable they actually are) to be.

Paperback cost $95.39, no kindle version  History of Japan, which I have and rocks, $16.06 on kindle. I got my latest ancient Korean fix from this, I have no regrets.

Literally Trump's entire run was specifically meant to spite Obama and has succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. He's already successfully obliterated Obama's legacy as anything but a political footnote.

I mean, it was a nothing yea. Trump clearly's trying to big dog after he kept saying 'I'LL WALK AWAY IF I HAVE TO' last time and instead came back with a generic 'we had lunch, it was nice'. Now he's doing it to go 'see I wasn't bluffing' and nothing happened, it was just kabuki.

A think the biggest problem for trump in international diplomacy isn’t that he’s a hugeness dumbass. It’s that he tore up the Iran deal that Obama negotiated and his advisors are all howling for a war with Iran. Of course NK won’t give up their nukes because they know what can happen with successive US administrations. The best we could have hoped for was normalisation of relations and I hope that South Korea can still achieve that.

Trump's certainly done more to legitimize the NK government than any other US president. And for nothing in return - how magnanimous.

Air quality is horrific today. (Jochiwon-eup, Sejong-si) While it has never been good since I came to Korea in '09 there has been a notable decrease in air quality the last few months. I use an ap that measures it as Green 0-50 good Yellow 51-100 moderate Orange 101-150 unhealthy for sensitive groups Red 151-200 unhealthy Purple 201-300 very unhealthy Maroon 301-500 Hazardous It was in the purple all day today until it finally dipped into the red at 4pm. First time I've seen it be purple ever, with numbers in the 240s. Been red all the last week just about. This is China level poo poo. Just ordered an air purifier for the apartment.

So no third world dictator with any brain would ever give up their WMD. The fact that fat Kim take the train all the way to Vietnam and do a show with you pretend to give up nuke, he is already put in a lot of effort. Fat Kim also want to normalize trade some what so he doesn't need to rely on China 100%.

So now that the second Trump/Kim summit broke down the logical conclusion is NK is going to go back to testing nukes and missiles right? I mean that's how they got Trump to the bargaining table to begin with.

NK shouldn't resume testing because it will force Trump to admit defeat and take a hardline attitude. The current situation is perfect for NK because the US is paralyzed and effectively out of the picture, which allows the maximum leeway for negotiation with South Korea.
