psydude posted:Something like the Iran Deal, but geared toward denuclearization, would be a start. You know, if we hadn't thrown away any good will we had in the diplomatic community by pulling out of said Iran Deal. And also if the US hadn't had something pretty similar to the Iran deal in the '94 Agreed Framework and then not held up our end of the deal.

Anyone who sacrifices for any deal with the United States in the near future is a moron. Or at least any deal made in a democratic administration.

Also: https://twitter.com/PressHerald/status/1146097319965790210?s=19 Basically, the usual White House Press Corps is detecting even more bullshit in the air than usual, so there's still a lot of digging going on. Official WH spokesman excuses are even worse than normal, so something is odd.

Yeah, we ultimately can't be trusted because the moment a Republican President gets elected they'll just arbitrarily break any treaties, MOAs, or alliances on a whim.

MA-Horus posted:why do you think they'll be allowed to interact with the rest of the world? It is actively in the best interest of their leaders that this does not happen. we've been twerked up for korean war round two for over half a century, NK has nukes and they're backed up by China. We have no win condition. Additionally them being on constant war footing empowers their military to keep the authoritarian state going. Currently china is their only ally by default. Easing the gently caress back and coming off as the good guys might result in them getting tired of China's hand up their rear end like the puppet state they currently are

Who cares if they get tired of China. In a hypothetical scenario where they try to cozy up to the US instead China would just overthrow them. Possibly even overtly.

Crakkerjakk posted:No one is ever giving up nukes again, because it has amply been demonstrated to the world that they're the only effective means of stopping a superpower from deciding to kick your country over and set it on fire. the only country that enshrined having arms for every one of its citizens doesn't expect the same from the international community.

the only happy ending for rest of the world wrt NK is China offing Kim during some visit and simultaneously telling the generals "You'll be fine we're just going to slowly unroll this over the next 30 years". thats pretty much the only scenario that doesnt end with SK eating a nuke

They have enough artillery to turbofuck Seoul and have had them for decades. Like yeah, maybe if poo poo went down they'd toss a nuke across the border as a gently caress you if SK or us tried to head north, but I would bet the nukes are mostly meant to be long range (CONUS) or medium range (Japan, Guam).

I've heard the whole Sea of Fire thing is pretty exaggerated. But even a little bit of artillery could be really bad because of how dense Seoul is.
