U.S. May Settle for Nuclear Freeze By North Korea
« on: July 01, 2019, 03:56:10 pm »
New York Times: “From a seemingly fanciful tweet to a historic step into North Korean territory, President Trump’s largely improvised third meeting on Sunday with Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, was a masterpiece of drama, the kind of made-for-TV spectacle that Mr. Trump treasures.”

“But for weeks before the meeting … a real idea ha[d] been taking shape inside the Trump administration that officials hope might create a foundation for a new round of negotiations.”

The initial reaction will be to jump all over the fact it is on sourced and the NYT. I wouldn’t discount it entirely, however. Trump is always a proponent of letting others take care of things, in their sphere of influence. The Iranian activity in the Strait of Hormuz is a prime example.  He suggested Japan should protect the tankers, since it is their oil.  From previous comments, it seems that he is fine with NK possessing nuclear weapons, as long as they don’t have ICBM capabilities. Also, he actually said the following, during the 2016 campaign....


Trump said he's in favor of potentially seeing countries like Japan develop nuclear weapons because "it's going to happen anyway."

"It's only a question of time," he said. "They're going to start having them or we have to get rid of them entirely."

A Freeze?  "Nuclear Winter"?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

North Korea allegedly already knows how to make a bomb.
And who says North Korea can't make a bomb in Iran

So the difference between a nuclear freeze and nuclear disarmament is only a couple of months.
Verification and a test ban are the key points to win.

Obama's unconstitutional attack on Libya, after Libya gave up its nukes, is really screwing up North Korea negotiations. Why should North Korea trust the United States after Obama's treatment of Libya?
