North Korea Agrees (in principle) to Drop Nukes

[CarbineCaleb]

Hmmmm - well, surprising and great news. The North Korean leadership can be erratic though, so the proof will be in the pudding.

North Korea Agrees (in principle) to Drop Nukes.

You knew this was a massive play on words right?
No? Thought so.....

This is a tentative agreement !!! A tentative agreement from N Korea is wo rth absolutely NOTHING!

 

[Ingram]

What a misleading topic title.

 

[JR47]

Unfortunately, it may prove to be COMPLETELY accurate, at least as far as S. Korea and Japan are concerned.

They've danced this minuet before. They played Billy Jeff like a violin, and kept the nuclear program going anyway, back in 1994.

 

[aspen1964]

On whom did the North Koreans agree to drop hukes on????

 

[Lawyer Daggit]

What is the deal? I suspected when they restarted their program that they were only doing so to screw a deal out of Uncle Sam. Is this the case?

 

[Rebar]

They were just screwing with us:

North Korea (search) said Tuesday it would not dismantle its nuclear weapons program until the United States first provides an atomic energy reactor, casting doubt on its commitment to a breakthrough agreement reached at international arms talks.

I think we should say we misunderstood "nuclear reactor" and give them a "nuclear reaction".

 

[defjon]

BS. Without Nukes, Kim doesn't get to be a player in the world scene at all. S Korea having a nuclear program lets 'em elevate themselves from the bankrupt poverty nation they are to an action player in the international relations' scene.

 

[Long Path]

Fascinating, and mostly heartening, but utterly off-topic.

Closed.
