1st Round: “Hey, Donald, mine is
bigger than yours. Wanna bet?”
From
NBC News,
in part:
North Korean
leader Kim Jong-Un promises his country would continue to develop its nuclear
weapons program with the ultimate goal of establishing “equilibrium in military
force with the U.S.,” according to a North Korean state media statement.
Kim added: “We should clearly show the big
power chauvinists how our state attained the goal of completing its nuclear
force despite their limitless sanctions and blockade.”
Under Kim's leadership, North Korea has accelerated its nuclear program and issued increasing threats against the U.S. Their latest missile reached an altitude of about 478 miles, traveling 2,300 miles past the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido before landing in the sea. That means it had the capacity to reach the U.S. territory of Guam.
So, what exactly does Kim want –
total and all-out nuclear war – hopefully not, then what?
In public
statements, North Korea has said it wants:
1. An official end to the
Korean War – (the war was halted by a July 1953 armistice
but no peace treaty has ever been signed – simply the longest cease-fire in
history – thus in essence there still exists the same war that started in June
1950 when the North invaded the south (the UN and 16 world nations with U.S. leading reacted – nearly 34,000 Americans died in that war and nearly 5,000
reported MIA. Some 2.5 million Korean civilians died on both sides).
2. It also wants full normalization of relations
with the U.S.
3. They want to be treated with respect and as
an equal in the global arena.
I say: Okay
Mr. Kim, let's deal.
First, you back off from the daily nuclear missile tests and then:
We sit down at any table and talk and work out the details
we all agree on to move forward peacefully, including what you want, and what
the entire world wants, too.
You stop your nuclear tests and aggressive threats, and we will recognize you as world nation among other peaceful nations.
Then you have a real chance to lead and work to unite into a one Korea, which would benefit all sides and their citizens. It really is very simple solution to a very complex problem, so, let's make a deal shall we?

I wonder if the Trump team reads this and would ever take
my advice? Probably not (smile).
Passing note: I have dealt with North Koreans in the past and know a lot about them including their language, not that it matters (LOL).
Thanks for stopping by – come again.
