Let me phrase this another way. People like to talk about North Korea as "crazy." The absolute "craziest" thing they could do is give up their nuclear deterrent in a situation where they have an aggressive nuclear-armed enemy. Does anyone think they are *that* crazy? I don't.
It's probably my own Twitter bubble speaking but I see literally no informed voices who seem to think that DPRK is actually interested in truly disarming. So what's the game plan? Is it negotiating on sanctions? Is it stalling to defuse tensions in that time-honored DPRK way?
Is it flexing some kind of cultural muscle, getting the attention and respect they think they deserve, by saying a few magic words to an American president very eager to hear them? I don't know.
What I do know is, taking seriously the idea that they'd spend SIX DECADES building up the infrastructure necessary to have nukes, and then just give it up relatively cheaply... that's the bizarro idea. Is it impossible? I don't know. But it's bizarro.
(And yes, they've been working towards this end since the 1950s!! From Richelson, _Spying on the Bomb_. Though the dedicated, make-me-a-bomb production program started in the 1970s, apparently.)pic.twitter.com/mikAGqKar5
Playing the game of "if I were a North Korean" — if I were KJU, I'd be playing the US for time. Endless ways for discussions to get bogged down indefinitely.
If we take the "we don't need to test anymore" rhetoric seriously, they seem feel their missiles and warheads are adequate enough to deter. But they probably lack quantity. So slow everything down for several months or a year. Roll out a real stockpile.
Get things to the point where the US intelligence and military community can no longer whatsoever maintain the delusion that the US homeland wouldn't just get their hair mussed in some kind of "exchange."
Here's a guess in my thread from earlier tonight.https://twitter.com/CherylRofer/status/987482385502515200 …
"ülan" #lol this is Trump you're talking about. Plans are much too boring and headachy. He's just gonna wing it, then start whining and bitching, and blame his failure on anybody else.
It's just one of the usual stunts for him anyway. He doesn't give a damn.
I think the DPRK actually is serious about disarming, if the US left the peninsula (or maybe the whole region ). Which we won't, so...
That would be it. DPRK will hunker down and hope that they can survive Trump, and restart later. Surprise in store for them. If the US can't verify - this means inspectors with free range to go anywhere and lots of them, otherwise - No Deal. We live in Interesting TImes.
If you go back to the early 50’s you will find that the USA and a variety of allies (including South Korea)have been practicing simulation naval battles on a schedule that increases with a varied amount annually.Still,all the North wants is the constant threats to cease.Fair ?
