True about the war bit, but the news article highlights the fact that they have not been at peace either, just stuck in a truce for 60+ years.

Yeah but I see this as largely symbolic. I am wondering what else is behind it? Who is getting what kind of concession and what happens next. Never trust North Korea.

I am not saying don't sign a peace treaty. I said wait and see to see what happens because I don't understand why North Korea suddenly want to adopt an open and diplomatic approach. As I said I hope it comes with something along aside the symbolism of stopping a non-existent war.

North Korea has a long history of breaking diplomatic agreements after they've been brokered and they've gotting something. It's not past them to blow up over some minor non-issue, declare the whole thing off and start mouthing off again.

It's a positive step but we need more to happen.

Re: North Korea

Of course it will be very weird to see, two leaders who have slung insults at each other, if their meeting ever takes place, Trump referring to Kim as "Lil Rocket Man" and Kim calling Trump, "Dotard".

Re: North Korea

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-43792658

Quote:
CIA director Mike Pompeo travelled to Pyongyang for a secret meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, US media report.

The meeting to prepare for direct talks between US President Donald Trump and Mr Kim took place on about 1 April, unnamed officials said.

Mr Trump had earlier alluded to high-level direct talks with Pyongyang.

But this unexpected and clandestine meeting would mark the highest level US contact with North Korea since 2000.
Looks like it may happen..

Re: North Korea

China is the driving force behind the change of attitude in North Korea they realised things couldn't continue as they were and that North Korea was likely to initiate a conflict putting China in an impossible position. If a deal is done here and North Korea breaks it as they have in the past it will be China they deal with and it's quite likely China would break the traditional ties it's had with North Korea removing the gaurantees that have allowed kim to act so brazenly.

You're right to be suspicious, the test site had to be closed and could the reason they aren't doing anymore nuclear tests be because they already have enough weapons? Donald won't be fooled despite his tweets and as a great man once said, jaw jaw is always preferable to war war, who knows where the talking will lead

Quote:
Nam Jae-chol, the head of South Korea's Meteorological Administration, warned in testimony before its parliament on Monday that further tests at Punggye-ri could cause the mountain to collapse and release radioactivity into the environment.

"Based on our analysis of satellite imagery, we judge that there is a hollow space, which measures about 60 metres by 100 metres beneath Mount Matap", he said. "Should another nuclear test take place, there is a possibility [of a collapse]".

Chinese scientists have issued similar warnings, suggesting that nuclear fallout could spread across "an entire hemisphere" if the mountain did collapse.

Re: North Korea

I think the reason that THAT test site is being closed has more to do with the fact that the mountain it's in is close to collapse if another test goes ahead.

I hope the US is watching it's satellite pictures carefully for a new site being set up.

This, except it was speculated upon a while ago that the facility has actually collapsed in and wiped out major players in their Nuclear prospects, thus ending it completely. I don't think it was ever properly confirmed.

As of today, they're running with the story that it did indeed collapse
