•Secret, direct talks underway between US and North Korea•

Washington (CNN)The United States and North Korea have been holding secret, direct talks to prepare for a summit between President Donald Trump and North Korea leader Kim Jong Un, a sign that planning for the highly anticipated meeting is progressing, several administration officials familiar with the discussions tell CNN.

This contact with DPRK must be investigated immediately! It's an attempt to change the mid-term elections by the GOP and a special counsel is needed at once to stem the rampant unemployment of environmental lawyers in DC....

Fat Boy getting more nukes. Big Problem became more big problem.

Surprising news from NK.
North Korea will suspend all nuclear and missile tests and shut down a major nuclear test site.

North Korea will suspend all nuclear and missile tests and shut down a major nuclear test site with immediate effect and instead pursue economic growth, North Korea’s state media reported Saturday, explicitly signaling a shift in its pursuit of a nuclear weapons program.
The North does have a history of pledging to halt the development of nuclear weapons only to renege on it, but the latest announcement shows its strong willingness to denuclearize and paves the way for resolving the decades-old nuclear crisis, experts here said Saturday.

We will see.

Exactly....

I still don't think he can be trusted until full verification is done. And that is always the hangup, as it is with Iran. The gilded lining I see so far is the halt to missile development before he achieves a re-entry capable weapon.

However............ one word in the prior paragraph could be the key to why the change of heart.

Is all DPRK Nuclear technology in the process of being transferred to Iran as part of a deal to share further development there along with missile technology? Iran surely knows Trump will likely not extend the Nuclear agreement any further due to their violations of other agreements and their involvement in Syria and against Israel.

So........here's the shiny object on the Korean Peninsula everybody should pay attention to while the games afoot in Tehran.......

Agree.
To me this looks like a Russian Diplomacy game.
Oh. Kim's grandfather Kim Il-sung spent most of the WWII in Soviet exile and he and his offsprings are eternal leaders of Juche Korea.
Kim and Trump will soon have a meeting.
Please Trump. Don't mess that up.
It's not a Monopoly game.

MYGA! MAKE YAWN GREAT AGAIN

How much do you know about the "godless" North and the "godless" Red ...

Central Television also released a photo of North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Ri Kil Song offering a silent prayer for the victims alongside Chinese Embassy staff.

Is everything else you "know" based on the same foundation?




My condolences to the victims and their families.

Koreas make nuclear pledge after summit!
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-43921385

The leaders of North and South Korea have agreed to work to rid the peninsula of nuclear weapons after holding an historic summit.
The announcement was made by the North's Kim Jong-un and Moon Jae-in of South Korea after talks at the border.
The two also agreed to push towards turning the armistice that ended the Korean War in 1953 into a peace treaty this year.
"This is the start signal for a new era," said Kim Jong-Un.
According to the news agency AP, Kim Jong Un also gave promise when he talked about his robot test:
"I will not interrupt your sleep anymore"

South Korea's President Moon Jae-In and North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un when they plant a tree in Panmunjom.

Such BS. Kim Jong-Un is only trying to get out of the sanctions.
This crap has been going on several times before. When they feel the pressure,
they fool South Korea, and the U.S into (fake) negotiations with lifted sanctions, and tons of money in financial assistance.
When they have rebuilt their stash of money, they break the deal.

If South Korea, and the U.S is fooled again, then it's clear that the politicians and the president of the U.S, and South Korea are totally incompetent,
and incapable of learning from history. Kim Jong-Un is playing them like a fiddle.

Tut, have you not read the statements from the North? They have said they will never give up their nukes. They won't negotiate that. If the USA demands that it can pound sand until hell freezes over. But if the North and South want to sign a peace treaty, standard advice applies - Korea is for the Korean's, it isn't for the USA, China or Russia! If they want to unify after that, same advice. After unification the USA might be able to talk a unified state out of nukes, but as long as we have done Grenada, Nicaragua, Libya, Iraq, etc. Kim is not ever going to give up the only thing that prevents the CIA from killing him. Reagan/Bush I/Bush II have serious long lasting consequences. (I don't dare think of the consequences of 45)

Oh and if we are fool enough to try and keep sanctions on after they sign a peace treaty, the entire rest of the world is likely to sanction the USA. We are in a lose / lose situation and the sooner we get the hell out of there the better. Korea is for the Korean's, it isn't for the USA, China or Russia!

<ed>the promise to denuclearize is a promise from the south to the north to kick the USA out
