    Kim dying won't remove the problem. Someone else will simply replace him, and likely continue the same. Anyway, the US won't stop with Kim. They'll be aiming to "free" the N.Korean people from that system of government.

    The North and South might be declaring an end to the war ahead of a summit.

    You're saying a western culture in Europe is the same as an Asian culture?

    Trump solved the North Korea problem to distract from his stormy scandal at home.

    Get woke you guys

    They have not negotiated yet about nukes, this could all unravel after the talks. Trump and Bolton are going to look for denuclearization almost immediately no hanging about kind of thing.

    They've opened to tourists a number of times. It's still a high risk destination though considering you can be arrested for any number of imaginary crimes. Still, I'd expect them to open up to certain tours later.

    There are a number of "approved" tour companies that run from China, who will cater to westerners... You just might not be coming back with them. :D

    Mike Pompeo was in N/K over the Easter W/end and has opened the talks for Kim and Don meeting in N/K... Reported in the Washington Post last night. I'm paywall blocked so any link I copy & paste won't work here. I'm reading into the secret visit that Kim's surprise train trip to China is connected and China has been the go-between between US & N/K.

    Probably a good thing that the CIA is covertly meeting foreign leaders rather
    than trying to assassinate them. Interesting times.

    Don't think so. I went into Myanmar a few weeks after they opened the land boarders with Thailand and relaxed travel restrictions on tourists

    Seoul said Kim Jong Un apologised to Moon for interrupting his sleep following North Korea’s nuclear tests last year, when Moon had to convene security council meetings in the early hours of the morning.

    “We won’t interrupt your early morning sleep anymore,” said Kim, reiterating an earlier promise to stop carrying out nuclear missile tests.


    What am I reading. Mad morning.

    well done president Trump

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer
