2. Don't be misled...

That's really only an America Propaganda viewpoint.... we must evolve beyond that level of thinking... We have to see how the world HAS CHANGED.... and we need to understand the dynamics of that change.

for one; we must know, this has nothing to do with Trump and Trump cannot take credit for the changes in N. Korea's moves...so we need to truly understand much.... N. Korea made its overture without any discussion with or concern of Trumps bluster. This is more to do with China and Russia and N. Korea's other supporters and the long game of N. Korea to navigate its way out of the divisions of Korea.


N. Korea has the bargaining chip of Nuclear Weapons.... that's a powerful chip!!! One would be remiss to not know that China and Russia among others has been and is at play in the new overture that N. Korea is making. The smart thought is to understand... there was no means for a resolution between the N. and S. Korean split. Except, to have a bargaining chip that could lead to not only diffusing the madness of the split, but at the same time, bring a level of "unifying cooperation"... There will remain "two leaders in Korea, and N. and S. will find a way to make it work. The same as China found a way to make Hong Kong work in relation to Mainland China. China has experience in how two systems can work!!!! under one Nation's Structure. Its demonstrated it for more than two decades.


When the deal is done, people will flock to N. Korea for the cheap labor... because world greed is fully alive and functioning, China at NO TIME will allow Western Bases in the section of N. Korea, but they will support diplomatic relations and economic relations to help bring N. Korea up to date as a economic player in the world community of Economic function.

This will bring an end to any need of DMZ, and N. and S. Korea will find ways to work without no conflicting border issues. They don't need to do any more 'testing". the same as every other nation with Nuclear weapons don't need to do testing. Its a "deterrent"... The big issue will evolve to be about "ECONOMICS".... It is no benefit for N. Korea to remain isolated while the rest of the world moves on with Economic Prospering Functions... Technology now is global, and what N. Korea has to offer is the exact same thing China had to offer, decades ago... and that is a "disciplined society".... and a disciplined society can be trained to be exactly as what was Demonstrated within China... which is... "A Industrial Labor Power House"... People forget that Kim was "Western Educated", and he knows the nature of Western Economic's.... he could not end the cold war issue, any other way than having a "bargaining chip"... and now he has one.

China and Russia understand it very well, and the location of N. Korea has always had support of both China and Russia, because of their proximity.

Trump may be too ignorant to understand the dynamics.... but hopefully there is some cooler head that have enough influence to bear on over-riding Trump's ignorance of these matters.


We need to see and be open to understand the Long Game Big Picture, and get past the ideal of the U.S. as being the Imperial Power it once tried to be .... for one, we can no longer afford such aims and pursuits, and since Trump, we don't have the level of respect we once had. It was severely damaged during the Bush Iraq Invasion, and President Obama was able to restore diplomacy and regain some respect for us as America, but Trump has damaged it to a degree, that the rest of the world is moving on and unifying in agreements, while Trump has made a mockery and fool of our U.S. standing on a Global scale. Today, we need an Obama type to rebuild our Global Diplomacy and Respectability, and we need a Teddy Roosevelt Type Domestically, to fix our Economic and Industrial Sector and support citizen unity as a multi cultural society.



In the full of it, N. Korea will become an Industrial Player on the Global Stage and China will do everything it can to assist, as will Russia and every other nation that has been consistently supportive of N. Korea. S. Korea understand the benefit it too will gain....for a unified Korea with N. and S. regions working in Concert with their independent leadership..
What won't happen, is N. Korea will not make a instant flip to Democracy, but they will make Democratic Reforms given time one the pieces are in place.

Given Time..... N. Korea will also join (AIIB) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Infrastructure_Investment_Bank

We in the West must shape our minds to accept that the world is not what it was, nor will it be stagnant because we refuse to accept that "everything has changed".
