- South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un agreed to make several steps toward denuclearization to promote “a land of peace” after their summit in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Wednesday.
- The agreement included commitments to the “permanent dismantlement” of North Korea’s primary nuclear facility in Yongbyon and the allowing of international inspectors to observe the disassembly of an engine test site.
- Moon prefaced this plan by noting the US needed to reciprocate the measure, though it was unclear what he had in mind.
- Kim and Moon also agreed to collaborate on a bid to host the 2032 Summer Olympics. Additionally, Kim said he “promised” to visit the South Korean capital, Seoul, “in the near future.”
UPDATE
- Korean leaders make impromtu visit to Paektu Mountain (sacred mountain in Korea)
- Moon is stoked, he's never been before but always wanted to go (his family are from NK & went to SK as refugees)

Wrong! All thanks to The God Emperor. Without his show of force Kim Would have never come to the diplomacy table. Peddle your heresy on some other video.
Asia's values are ancient. They respect strength first, then they respect the spoken word. That is what people fail to understand.

Moon Jae-In is from a North Korean refugee family & ran his campaign on a platform of peace with NK. Over 60% of each country's citizens want peace. Trump's job is to make sure they don't have peace unless it's under complete US subjugation. If the US just leaves SK alone they'd sign a peace treaty within 12 months but they're basically occupied by US troops & it's hard to manouvre.

I'm sorry but Kim at no option but to sue for peace after Trump became President as Trump was the first President to NOT suck NK dick by giving them shit when they threatened war. Trump literally called their bluff while also holding out an olive branch. Kim wisely took the path the would allow him to keep his power. Now it's time to let NK and SK sort out the details.

Maybe so, but a dictator does not concern himself with what his helpless citizens want.
It doesn't make sense to build a super weapon and then tear it down within months of activation.
Unless there is a presence that will wipe them out of they continue with the program.
I'm glad they are bargaining for peace, but I feel that the trust and respect cards count now, because NK has a real threat on their doorstep more imminent than starvation.
