Could be a good idea if we had the persons capable of working out such a deal.

I'd say that we should put the Chinese in charge of the border between the two - you just can't leave it as-is given the Great Leader. But he would know enough about the Chinese not to mess with them. Then they could go on having talks and trade and maybe eventually tear down the wall(s).

People must remember that all this NK stuff is largely US Based BS. Folks in SK were interviewed during all these nuke and missile tests and they had no worries. They were more interested in when their families could reunite, etc.

Like the Spanish and the British and other Empires we need to slowly let it all slip away. No need to have the capacity to invade every spot on the planet post haste. Not to say there was ever a need, but global trade formerly required "coaling stations" and other various infrastructure that we could at least use to make a claim (that was how we forced Japan into the modern world).

Deputy Assistant to the President for Asian Affairs Matt Pottinger reported that they made numerous attempts to communicate but the North Koreans never responded.

There was no communication from North Korea through the "subsequent week until a North Korean official accused Vice President Mike Pence of being a “politically dummy.”

Seems Trump was stood up.
It could be said NK pulled out of the summit without announcing it.

Trump announced it after NK showed no interest in having the summit.

The lib-tards are all over media claiming Trump wasn't prepared for the summit.

Preparation takes both sides cooperating and that clearly wasn't the goal of NK.

Trump isn’t the first one to be duped by N.K and won’t be the last. This is what I meant by a Trump not having the experience to be president.

No first term president has the experience to be president.

If, during WWII, we adopted the "not my problem" strategy you anarcho-capitalists support, we would all be speaking German or Russian right now.

You can't just bury your head in the sand and wait for conflict to come to your front door. It's an idiotic strategy if your goal is long-term security. You put out small fires before they become raging infernos...

You want to maintain a worldwide military empire? YOU pay for it out of your own pocket. Quit raping the U.S. income theft victims even more than we already are.

"We" shouldn't be doing anything, except staying the hell out of it. The U.S. has no borders with China or Korea.

Of course it is. SK wouldn't be one of the world's wealthiest and most economically advanced countries if NK was such a threat.

$22 trillion in debt agrees with you.

Do we even have a country under your ridiculous whack job political system?

Logically speaking, you advocate for no military, and limited to no government law enforcement, sooooo........ what exactly are we?

How do you protect your "country" and the freedoms you enjoy if you aren't unwilling to defend your country because you are too cheap to pay for a world-class military, and too selfish/lazy/afraid to fight for it?

Quite the contrary, time to conduct even more exercises with SK to enrage rocket man even more.

No more semantics. He needs to know his regime is over if he doesn’t come to the peace table.
