      7. North Korea has enormous artillery firepower trained on Seoul. It's like someone holding a hostage with a gun at their head.

      10. We have to face it. It's not that hard to build nuclear weapons and missiles. North Korea has many capable scientists and engineers.

      I think you are talking about full denuclearization? There is no way to that now. But we may be able to, as you say, negotiate guardrails.

      I was wondering about full denuclearization, as I thought you might be referring to it w/ "nuclear arsenal".
