"North Korea tells U.S. it is prepared to discuss denuclearization"

i addressed your point in my first point - there was then an additional point made. Not a straw man, besides the point that your initial argument was, for lack of a better word, pointless.“if you did the same amount of digging youd think the same thing as me” about fringe conspiracy theories isnt a real point.

Maybe I’m naive, but perhaps NK’s decision is less a function of Trump himself and more a function of sanctions reaching a critical level of detrimental to the nation ( to a level where Kim can no longer make excuses). In that case, who is responsible for the most crippling sanctions?

#51

The Trump white house got China to go along

#52

Yea… I could go with that. What an interesting time in history to observe these techniques and outcomes!

I mean, whatever the case, I highly doubt it was directly the fear that Trump would take aggressive military action that lead to the nuclear yield. I get the impression Kim is neither stupid or insane.

#53

But wasn’t sanctions the same approach the Obama administration took? What was the leverage Trump used to make it effective that Obama missed?

#54

Obama’s approach was designed to fail. NK is a vassal state of what might be call the khazarian mafia, which consists of British financial power, US MIC, and the Vatican. They finance NK, give it weapons, keep it from collapsing in exchange for NK being a perpetual potential nuclear threat and catalyst for WWIII. What’s different this time is that the US military is no longer under the control of a complicit regime and it was successfully used by the Trump admin to cut the financial strings that support NK and take out their nuclear development capability with covert military action.

There is so much happening beneath the surface. This is happening worldwide. Rogue states that were used by the khazarian mafia to hold the world hostage are being removed. Iran is next. We’re entering a period of unprecedented world peace. So yea it’s a pretty good time to be alive.

#55

World peace. Right.

Trump called out China from the beginning and got them to comply with sanctions that they weren’t enforcing under Obama. This combined with escalating the military presence and weapons testing caused them to rapidly run through the limited remainder of their slush fund and pushed them to the table. In addition, Trump used NK missile launches as an excuse to put THAAD systems in SK and more AEGIS in Japan as well as fuel a stronger military presence in the area. None of this is conducive to China’s wish to get western presence out of contested waters or off their doorstep. It also works against China’s goal of becoming the regional power. China in particular was very upset about the THAAD which resulted in indirect sanctions against SK businesses. In addition to the direct missile barrier against China, the powerful radar of THAAD allows efficient surveillance of Chinese airspace. Trump definitely stepped up the pressure.

Thanks for the explanations BS and Turd.

Even fake news getting on board:

Congratulated for an apparent breakthrough in relations between South Korea and North Korea, South Korean President Moon Jae-in said, “It’s President Trump who should receive the Nobel Prize.”
