Looks at Ukraine and the Budapest Memorandum
Hard to argue with Kim here.
Hell, looks at Iran. North Korea got nukes and now their leader is parading his daughter on a tank and preparing her to succeed him. Iran tried to negotiate and their now-leader’s father, wife and children are all dead. Given the crippling sanctions already on Iran, one approach is clearly more successful than the other.
I bet Iran will now. They’d be pretty stupid if they didn’t.
Sadly, nuclear weapons are one of the few ways to guarantee a country’s independence and safety in the age of global imperialism.
Iran tried negotiating, and look what it got them. Had they developed the weapons successfully, there’d be no war, and all the people dead would still be alive.
North Korea was in a considerably worse position before acquiring nuclear weapons, too. Now look at it. Doing whatever it feels like.
Similar situations with Pakistan and India.
That’s just how it is when the world is run by genocidal sociopaths with a deep passion for children.
Just a thought, maybe “doing whatever it feels like” shouldn’t include establishing a brutal totalitarian dictatorship that keeps the population effectively captive within its borders. So yeah, genocidal sociopaths are indeed a problem.
I agree, america should impeach trump
How many times are they going to impeach him? He should be guillo-mangio-kirked, but most are too apathetic, racist, or embarrassed boot lickers and will conveniently look the other way.
They are way more concerned about gas prices than the turmoil they’ve created elsewhere for generations.
They’ll likely spend more money and effort in PR campaigns to create a smokescreen of “justice”, than fix anything, again.

The major barrier is their repressive government. No it’s not a totalitarian hellscape, but when your government prioritizes weapons over food, you’re gonna have a bad time.
I don’t think people have an issue with North Koreans as people though. It’s solely a government issue, and what you said is definitely true there is heavy information control used to intentionally keep people ignorant. So while the sanctions placed upon them are a barrier definitely, I wouldn’t say it is a major barrier when the country can’t even allow outside information which seems extremely dystopian to the western world.
And then you see how the Kim regime demands to be treated, it is hard not to view them as brutal in some capacity. So it isn’t really “them” the people as much as “them” the government.
Has anyone mentioned that the SCMP is a propaganda outlet under the Chinese party-state’s disinformation regime?
Just like Fox and the BBC
Always approach news articles with a critical eye

It’s not surprising after looking at the post history and publications used.

Where are America’s going to go when they collapse?
They have the nukes and missile tech to launch them, but lack early warning systems against imminent attacks.
They have Russian and Chinese protections now, but if they go rogue and try to launch first I have a feeling the entire country is gonna get pre-emptive blasted to bits before the missiles leave the pad.
I’m sure Russians have submarine nukes aimed right at NK too for such scenarios
He’s right, nobody will give them up now, thank Mr Trump everyone!
