I'd say they probably have a 2km CEP

Which is shit.

But, well, nukes.

NKs guarantee is that they can flatten Seoul almost instantly

They could do that without nukes.

Millions of lives held hostage

Exactly

Yep. So they can have regime security without nukes.

In fact their regime would be more secure without nukes.

No kidding

Because if they hadn't started talking with Trump the war would already have been over by now.

We were really, really close.

Like most people don't even know.

I honestly don;t know what goes through Kim's mind

We were moving munitions.

Like we were shipping over the bombs that we were going to kill them with.

But anyone could have talked to Korea. Trump wasn't unique. It could have been Bush Jr or Obama.

They didn't want to give Kim what he wanted

Pre-positioning equipment really subtly but not so subtle that the OSINT community didn't pick up on it.

No. Wrong.

Trump said he was willing to have direct talks.

No other president did that.

The movement of materials to Guam was pretty well known

Other presidents followed protocol

But no one did talk Cat, thats why Trump is unique ... you got a bad case of TDS.

Not Guam. Busan.

You meet after an agreement has been set

TDS?

TDS

>You meet after an agreement has been set
except that shit didn't work for Obama

Or Bush?

Or anyone

Only Trump said 'we can make a deal' and got talking.

And with Kim still developing nukes, how has it really worked for Trump?

He's not developing nukes because he hasn't tested the RV. His program is not making the advancements needed to be a usable arsenal.

If it was, we'd have to go to war.

And admittedly this might all fall apart.

But we were so fucking close to a major war and we now have a chance of averting it entirely because Trump is willing to break the rules

"we can't talk to him! he's a brutal dictator!"

Friendly reminder, the legal status of the Korean war is still a ceasefire. The US president or any other country in coalition of the Korean war ,like all other NATO countries, can bomb NK and the UN considers it a continuation of conflict.

As far as I'm aware wartime operational command of South Korean is still legally under the US as well, though in practice they'd probably tell us to fuck off.
