Again...international law against warfare is unenforcible and thus meaningless.

International law is merely the formalization of victors justice. It will never be applied to either superpower, at least so long as they maintain their power. That is the entire point of it - it is a stick to hit people with, similar to nuclear nonproliferation, not a serious matter of justice or principle.

Everything you have said about the legal aspects of international law is well and good. But that has very little to do with reality. In truth, if GWB Jr. was somehow arrested for his war crimes and sent before the ICC, the Hague would be a smoking pile of rubble before midday, and GWB Jr. back in the US before midnight.

The reason I asked about your concern re: the legality of nuclear holocaust is because I was hoping you'd recognize the inherent absurdity of describing the murder of millions as "illegal." This is the least disturbing, important or noteworthy description possible. If nuclear war breaks out, the entire notion of international law is split and destroyed as thoroughly as the atom.

Look hurf. We can all google up statutes all we like. It's not hard. Unfortunately, I can only assume the reason you seem to think words on paper actually matter for a damn when the nukes start flying is the same reason you keep trying to give the DPRK, a despotic hellscape, the benefit of the doubt: Naivete.

The world is a very mechanical place, hurf. Sometimes you have to work with the nuts and bolts as they are instead of making pretty ink and paper drawings of how you think they should be. The thing that separates idealists and realists is the difference between design and application.

Sounds sensible to me. Why even demand any accounting? Just don't offer the inspectors to ensure the accounting and this can go down as the best deal ever!

Trump might end the war and get a liaison office in the DPRK and that's cool but it's done nothing for us. So far we have:

- recognized the DPRK
- met with Kim face to face now more than once
- signed a non-binding/non-treaty resolution
- offered to set up a liaison office in DPRK

'Mericuh?

The only thing good that comes of this is we have a main line to the DPRK via the office and maybe Trump can get Kim to officially end the war. But what does that change substantively?

Not like he gives a shit. All this is is distraction. The timing is so obvious it hurts my eyes.
