So I happen not to believe that North Korea can do such an abrupt about-face. They've certainly appeared to waffle on stances before, but that's clearly part of their strategy on looking "unpredictable." Also, the current iteration of Kim dictatorship is plainly evil.

What's going on? The current episode of rapprochement does seem different. But they're crazy, and certainly capable of deceit. If this isn't just another juche-waffle, what is it? Well, what's the craziest thing you can imagine from a nation with a reputation for crazy?

Trump has mentioned wanting to meet Kim. It's been floated in the news that Trump could meet Kim in the DMZ, after Kim did the same with the current head of South Korea. Again, free yourself from preconceptions. Ask yourself what these professionally crazy people are doing.

Kim likes to murder people. NK citizens have been executed in flagrantly gruesome ways. He also sent a hit squad after his inoffensive brother, and had him murdered in an airport with a nerve agent. He's starving his own country while he dines on delicacies.

I'm asking: what do you folks think? Pinging
@St_Rev as a long-time observer, but I'm interested in other folks' ideas too. Maybe it's Korean unification. Who knows. But I imagine it isn't.#NorthKorea2 replies 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -

Juche is all about NK proving they're independent, & their dick is just as big as China, USA, Russia, France, &c. But they can't in any traditional sense win any sort of war/contest. They can, however, kill people. & I don't think they care what happens to their own citizens.

KJU is a young monarch who is the center of an imperial cult, but in real life he has to share power with a nuclear Stalinist military, who have very different priorities. Meanwhile, China is getting really sick of their shit.

There may or may not have been a major nuclear accident near China's border which may or may not have spewed radionuclides into their territory. So there's that. Trump is playing the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madman_Diplomacy … card.

Can you link me about the accident (unless you mean Mt. Mantap)?
