to think KJU was assassinating his brother a year ago and threatening US with nukes recently

quickest 180-degree descalation in modern history?

He was doing what worked. Just like he is now.
He'll spin it as America backing down to his threats.
He'll look like a hero to his people for ending the war and possibly unifying the country. It's the best hand he can play.
His bluff was finally called

Seems like he painted himself in a corner and this was his only way out.
Does this mean that the north Koreans will be allowed to freely walk across the border and see what life is really like??

probably not that simple in the beginning, but maybe and hopefully they'll work towards that goal in the future.

I can't imagine the culture shock north koreans will get when that happens though, so probably some system will be implemented where a whole country won't feel like caveman when they go into south korea.

I could see a revolt and a lot of civil unrest from them the moment they get a glimpse of what "normal" life is... If and when it comes to that point things will have to be carefully orchestrated.

This is fantastic news! -best news that I have heard all week in light of the bad news we've had recently such as the van attack in Toronto.

All those single guys in NK will be shocked to see all the hot SK girls they have been separated from all these years. :Pbjt:

China and the U.S. will be involved in the process towards the lifting of sanctions and denuclearization of NK, and the eventual unification of Korea.

Trump had better not mess up the peace process! :fuckthatshit:

Interesting play. Agreed that KJU was backed into a corner and this was his only option. Wonder if it's some trojan horse shit though. Time will tell.

did china have anything to do with this? maybe an ultimatum? i recall he made a trip to china by train before this...

What if NK is actually pretending that they want peace, but then turn around and shoot nukes at everyone once their guards are down

This was actually one of my first thoughts, thinking there's gotta be some sort of motive towards this.


I'm not sure how they would gradually phase in "the real world" to them but once they're able to cross back and forth it'll be interesting. Everything they've ever known is a lie. Would they still be loyal and faithful to their supreme leader?

I think the biggest challenge will be the procedures and politics around unifying the two. If the border was to open up between the two, i think it would create too much of a floodgate both culturally and economically for both

It's a ruse...

Kim's taking the high road, inb4 he gets mining equipment as part of denulcarization and bamm, his nation rich as fuck.

And South Koreans can visit NK to see what OEM Korean girls look like EleGiggle

Anyone else think the Trumpster is going to take credit for this? And TBH, I don't think he'll be far off from saying so. 65 years of diplomacy couldn't do what 6 months of Twitter trolling could do. :fullofwin:

I think Trump deserves huge credit for this. He will likely win a Nobel Peace Prize if this goes through.

Drake was a true visionary with his lyrics "Trigger fingers turned to Twitter fingers.".

Unification won’t happen, at least not for a longggg time. The people of NK can’t just be brought into the modern world.

When the Soviet Union collapsed and the iron curtain fell almost everyone in those countries, especially in like east and West Berlin, they all knew what the other side was like, it was just out of their reach.

NK they might as well be some uncontacted amazon tribe

^ Yup, 30 years after reunification you can still see the "border" between the folks of former East and West Germany.

No chance in hell NK will give up their nuclear arms
It is the one thing they have that would prevent them from becoming like Ukraine and Libya... (Both were invaded and overthrown because they gave up their weapons, for promises of protection and goodwill from western countries)


NK will play nice, drag it along so they could get the sanction lifted.
They might slowly integrate with the rest of the world, but only as much as they can keep their power and their population obedient.

you guys are crazy if you think there will be free immigration between the two countries, or if you think there will be unification of any sort. They just talked about 'lasting peace' in the region, which just means they aren't going to attack each other. (or so they say)

This is exactly how I feel as well. As much as Fat Boy Kim says they'll de-nuclearize, I woudln't trust him for a minute that their nuclear research will stop.

IMO, the biggest factor was obviously how DPRK got called out on its bluffing. Another part of the problem is, their nuclear testing program has inevitably come to a major road block -- the mountain that serves as their nuclear test site has physically collasped due to the repeated testing (some 6 or 7 times, I seem to think?). Without a site to test their nukes, they can't progress it any further. Atmospheric testing is obviously not an option since it'll just result in total annilation of the country.

THANK YOU DENNIS RODMAN!

rodman for nobel peace prize

I don't believe Kim will pull a quick one, probably just coming to his senses that a military regime from dear father and beyond will only get him ostracized by the world, there's nothing to show for all the sabre-rattling except for a twitter feud LUL

Rodman for president!

rodman, you da real mvp

Again, I will emphasize that I have zero trust in Kim. Even if (when?) he "opens up his country" to UN inspections for nuclear-related audits, I will remain unconvinced of his intentions for a long time to come.

But let's suppose Kim really does open up his country for those inspections, and then the inspections find nothing, or that Kim shows the inspectors how they are dismantling their nuclear gear. If the Nobel Prize committee chooses to nominate / declare Kim, Moon, and (gasp!) Trump as joint winners in Nobel Peace Prize, how would you feel about that?

I know I will be super disgusted if that were to occur.
