No, my opinion on the Korean conflict is independently what it is.
You're throwing out a lot of stuff here, but you're a N Korea hawk. You don't really have anything constructive to add to discussions of peace, as evidenced by your throbbing agreement with sabotaging the peace talks.
What is my "Hawkish" position and what is wrong with that position?
As well, honestly, my grand father fought for a free Korea and passed away not long ago.
He was in the 2nd Infantry Division and served with distinction, nearly froze to death a time or two as well, and most of his platoon never made it out of those frozen hills. I in no way want to have hundreds of thousands of people sacrificed in a conflict, but this is not a binary war/peace choice.
North Korea has twenty five odd million people living in slavery, I want to see that end as well, and propping up the regime with bad deals serves that end.
I don't want any kind of war, I don't want any world with North Korea in it, and those positions are not mutually exclusive.
A tough line on Korea does not mean they are going to charge across the world's largest minefield and into oblivion.
We both know the end game, and one thing that made the North Koreans anxious to "negotiate" (or perhaps rob again, we will see) is being low on supplies, morale, and likely time. One thing to the credit of Trump is that he said, explicitly (Although clumsy, as usual) that North Korea as a dictatorship would not survive any war that they start.
According to the reports from the inside, and here on the doorstep in China, that rattled the North Koreans in a good way.
You know, I really hope behind all the faux smiles and sunshine Kim Jong Un wants to start taking out the bars around his real, living prison state, but "nuts" to trusting him to do so without us -both- doing so step by step.
