Of course. But the point of those talks needs to not be "we're afraid of California." That's centering the US over at best a distant concern

I mean, I kind of live here, and it’s not like these aren’t interlocking concerns.

yeah but "us centering its distant concerns over asian nations in asian affairs" is kinda the source of this mess.

Good thing I’m not advocating for the US to center its concerns or for the numerous disasters that’d result from a strike

I want six-party talks to resume. I want DPRK denuclearized. I want to stop escalation in the Pacific before it gets worse.

Of course it is, I don't disagree. But we need to be doing a better job communicating and worrying about the present threat.

That should be the focal point of those talks.

Most people don't know that Seoul can be shelled with no warning. That NK has mid-range capability and has practiced strikes on Japan.
