“I decline your offer”

"Let me think about it"... But realistically - the Army of the DPRK probably has it better-off than the general population, as their rations are less likely to be affected by the US' Illegal unilateral sanctions.

That’s true, given the DPRK’s policy of Songun (military first). If they didn’t have this, then they would basically be committing suicide.

I had a professor of International Relations, Dr. Ram R. Roy - who suggested that US policy was intent upon keeping Korea divided forever - as a way of preventing the rise of the Koreans into an Asian Powerhouse, that might challenge US Hegemony in the region... And we saw how panicked the NeoCon's became, as soon as Trump started developing a decent relationship with Kim... They even did a Terrorist attack/break-in at the DPRK Embassy in Spain - to queer the deal...

All that being taken into account - it seems like Kim and the DPRK aren't the baddies in every situation.

Your professor definitely has a point, as it’s been shown time and time again that whenever people of sovereign nations try to choose their own path for their country instead of a path that benefits the U.S., they immediately try to bring them back to their side through any means necessary (especially through Machiavellian ones). Just look at what happened to Iraq, or Libya, or Cuba, or Indonesia, or Vietnam, or even what’s happening to China right now. However, something I’d like to critique in your analysis is that Trump had never made a genuine effort to establish a decent relationship with Kim, given the fact that he had threatened him with nukes without provocation.

Btw, if you haven’t already, I suggest you check out this documentary since it looks like something you’d be interested in: https://youtu.be/7x5dH49s30o

Sure, it’s definitely quite lengthy, but there are timestamps for parts that might interest you in particular, and it’s genuinely something great if you want to see the other side of the DPRK that were never shown in MSM.

I'm not a Trumpy...but after the initial threatening and insults about "Little Rocketman" and the rest... They actually seemed to be developing a bit of a friendship - at least a healthy enough relationship, that they could hammer out a deal on the N. Korean Nuclear Program (which it is totally in their interest to maintain, since we saw what happened in Iraq and Libya and Syria, after they voluntarily ended their Chemical weapons programs).

The Guardian, it should be noted, was fully captured by MI-6 and the CIA at some point, probably during the first two Obama Administrations. They're VERY anti-Trump, and pro-NeoCon. In fact, they employ a MOCKINGBIRD by the name of Luke Harding, who is somehow connected to MI-6's Pablo Miller (the Skripal's handler). He wrote a book called "Collusion" about the fake news association between Trump and Russia... When questioned by award-winning Canadian Journalist Aaron Maté of the Grayzone - he couldn't provide any evidence to support the title of his book. He actually 'Fled the Interview'.

I'm not saying Trump was good at anything, but perhaps because he was unaware or uninterested in the unstated US policy of keeping Korea divided, he actually managed to create a historically significant and aberrant thawing of relations between our countries. Pompeo and Bolton went to work immediately to undercut the decent diplomatic work of their boss... And Biden and the CNAS NeoCons have done everything in their power to bury the deal that Trump tried to strike.

I'll check that video, now.

Well, I don’t exactly consider myself to be qualified enough to speak on the subject matter of U.S.-DPRK relations under Trump, but I believe that your comment could have at least an element of truth to it, given that they both did seem to have friendly discussions with each other (at least to my knowledge).

And yeah, I know that The Guardian is one of those sources that you should probably take with a heavy grain of salt especially if it talks about countries that MSM usually reports negatively, I’m just saying that it’s true that Trump did threaten Kim with nuclear weapons.

Let me know what you think of it!

That's a great Documentary. I knew the broad strokes - but it's nice to see the finer points detailed.
