End to the Korean War?

[esmith]

It seems that North and South Korea are discussing signing a peace treaty to officially end the Korean War according to Bloomberg News The two countries have been at war since 1950 when North Korea's inmin'gun invaded South Korea. If so it might help to bring and end to the nuclearazition of the North.

OMG... Look at where Trump's game of brinkmanship has gotten us.

I doubt Kimmy will stop with the nuke program.

I genuinely hope it does but I'll believe it when I see it.

I am cautiously optimistic. The demands by NK have been rather unreasonable in the past. Unless something has drastically changed, I doubt much will come of it.

One roadblock is that South Korea cannot formally sign the formal declaration of the end to the war. CNBC actually disclosed details about the situation without giving into the temptation sensationalizing the possibility of ongoing peace talks.

Another thing is the unsecured release of three Americans held by the north. It does not come across as sincere.

Last is the status of the DMZ as to wether it will return to its former state, if ever, prior to any formal signing.

South Korean government says it would consider peace treaty with North Korea after denuclearization

Perhaps they realized the US might get a crazy president enough to call their bluffs and wanted to stop playing chicken with their lives.

Sometimes you have to fight crazy with more crazy. Trump may not be a total washout after all.

I think they got cold feet from thinking about Trump and having nightmares what he would do...

It would be nice to see an end to the hostilities while my father is still alive. He got to go "camping" in North Korea. It got down to about -30 F or -35 C at night when he was there. Being wounded and in the back of an open truck did not help either.

ETA: LOL, your "cold feet" comment came up while I was typing this one.

I think it's the realization that we now have a president that means what he says.

When there is a line, it's not for show.

I don't know about that. Trump has shown himself to not be a man of his word. I seriously think it is the crazy factor that has them worried.

For example Trump earlier disparaged Obama for taking the exact same sort of action that he took in Syria a few days ago. That reeks of hypocrisy to say the least.

It would be great indeed. A moment like the fall of the Berlin wall. The folks there deserve a better life. Even if the Kims don't stand down but adopt saner policies, it would make the peninsula a much better place. There are many family reunions that can still be done, that I'm hoping can still happen.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I'm more inclined to believe the Un wants to make himself look good, knowing SK won't accept whatever NK's unreasonable conditions for peace will be, and then upping the state propaganda by saying "I tried, but they don't want to play along."

 

[Augustus]

We'll see what comes out in the wash. No point in running victory laps or constructing half baked narratives based on partisan loyalties.

If the North denuclearises, Trump gets some credit. If they don't, he don't.

 

[ajay0]

It could also be the economic success of neighboring communist states like China and Vietnam, as well as diplomatic isolation, that may be forcing North Korea to rein in its aggressive strategy and seek reconciliation.

It seems that North and South Korea are discussing signing a peace treaty to officially end the Korean War ... If so it might help to bring and end to the nuclearazition of the North.

Why might it do that? So far all we see is two narcissists gaining points.

Trump isn't crazy. He's just empty of soul and intelligence an empty shell

OP

Never

Unlike the right and Obama with good actions then, I'll give credit to the current American regime if there is a serious deal signed and adhered to. Perhaps China managed to convince Kim that it was possible to be both a dictatorship and prosperous. I'm not breaking out the champagne just yet.

Why do you believe Trump influenced this? I'm not debating. Just asking...
