Kudos to Kerry for the Syria/Russia deal. If he can pull off this "very, very (x2) difficult" deal (NYT) why not repeat with Iran & N.Korea?
@TimothyS Also that Russia has much more leverage and interest in using it over Assad, it seems, than China over NK.

@emptywheel Actually Russia has plenty of clout in Korea & has offered to use it. But NK is no one's vassal. Eventual direct talks a must. -
@TimothyS@emptywheel Tim - wouldn't NK be nuts to get rid of nukes given record w Iraq and Libya? -
@samhusseini It's why they built them. But in the context of a broad peace agreement with China/Russia support they would IMO.@emptywheel -
@TimothyS@emptywheel Ok. seems like that's exactly what Syria's not getting here. But even w peace agreement, NED and such would mess w NK. -
@samhusseini In this case NK has been seeking peace agreement to end Korean War for years.@emptywheel
