So about this miraculous turn around in North Korea....(sniff, sniff)

[Thomas Hurt]

Does anyone...(sniff, sniff) smell anything? It smells like....hmm....that's it!

It smells almost like Iran Contra...

1. I smell something foul as well.

2. I bet Xi, Kim, Moon and Abe...

have had a belly full of this ugly American.

The goal could be just to get us the hell off the Korean peninsula.

Putin is just north of Korea. He wouldn't mind, either.

3. I agree

With how the leader in North Korea is, I can't believe the guy has suddenly decided to turn a new leaf. I'd be totally surprised if North Korea isn't getting something in return for the 3 people. After how he's treated people (even his own relatives), this sudden come to peace by North Korea can't be coming without some incentives promised to them that we don't know about. He's not doing it out of the kindness of his own heart.

4. A lot of my posts are half serious and sort of tongue in cheek, but....

I REALLY would like to get some sort of idea what happened with that collapse of the NK nuclear testing site. We have continually heard about Fukashima (sp?)
Apparently there are people.....whatever that means....looking into it.

7. The collapse of the testing site is an important point

I have also read that the NK hacking revealed some of the South's war plans and it was exceptionally detailed and disturbing to the NK leadership. Realistically pursuit of nuclear weapons is foolish when they can trade away something they really don't need, get huge economic benefits and pursue their cyber warfare abilities at likely a fraction of the total costs.

There is much more going on behind the curtain, but this sudden move toward reconciliation is not just something out of the blue. There are reasons why it is being done.
