S Korea President Moon: Trump deserves Nobel Peace Prize

According to multiple outlets communication between the DRPK and the via diplomats has ceased. This looks more symbolic than anything else. On top of that - these facilities aren't necessary anymore because they achieved their goal - they developed the rocks necessary for the ICBM. They're already producing them.

Again, none of this means anything. This is not substantively different from the past. On top of that - China is incentivized to utilize the DPRK as a hedge against the US so long as Trump continues with the tariffs. I expect nothing from this.

I don't think any rational person should expect North Korea's complete denuclearization. According to multiple outlets the Sohae launching station's dismantling is evidence that North Korea is working towards building trust. This is better evidence than the satellite images purporting to depict North Korea's upgrading of a nuclear research facility. The satellite images here do indeed depict discernible dismantling. The former satellite images purporting to evidence upgrading by showing a "newly erected blue roofed building 30m x 15m" was, as I said, borderline laughable.

As far as denuclearization, of course this is not significant evidence of any such thing. What it is evidence for is that, even if only symbolic, tangible moves are being made that reduce tensions and belligerent provocations. One may only hope that the psychotic Trump administration doesn't completely reverse course, with Trump sending off unhinged all caps screams to North Korea with John Bolton's doubling down follow ups.

Since he and his administration's stated goals are the complete denuclearization of the DPRK it is already a made to fail proposition that will not sate Trump for long. Kim's just buying time. That's all this is. Discernible/indescirnable - it means nothing. Good faith? lol.

Faith is an apt word to use here. It'll come true if only you believe.

You're misrepresenting the evidence on Korea. Not a big deal since most people do for their own aims but come on now.

You are a strange creature. I could not make observations of current acts without contextualizing it with the past. Even the recent past.

Yes, you’re right. This should be taken as good news, no skepticism is warranted, and fingers crossed Trump solves this whole debacle for us with a persistent, understanding, and patient strategy.

You've repeated that the reference to a newly constructed blue building is laughable twice and used an emoji once but havent really done much beyond that to back up your position. What's zo amusing about the new construction at this nuclear site? Or completion of other buildings or ongoing earthworks nearby thesite and depletion of visible energy reserves suggesting ongoing operations.

Im sure somebody as wordy and with as much thesaurus-spiked hot air filled up inside has something more to add....

No big deal, my guess is all that stuff (and other relevant stuff), is already in the targeting computers. Probably has been for some time. Blowing up those tunnels awhile back seemed a little vague without knowing what, if anything was even in there.
