    I dont understand the sudden change of attitude from North Korea... Its stange. They were all war war war, missiles tests and nuclear development and now they're all peace and reunion with the South. Is there a trap somewhere?

    • Because of sanctions, Trump's pressure, US/SK military drills. NK knows it could've led to possible war/ invasion and end of their regime.M01XXX
    • Because their nuke mountatin imploded and as China's poodle they're doing their bidding to undermine the US Hegemony in Asia.detritus
    • Or, you know, Kim Jong really wants an Arby's franchise to open up in Pyongyang.detritus
    • Something happend in the backstage that we will never knowBennn

    • An orchestrated, strategically planned pseudo crisis. China is North Korea's most important trading partner and main source of food and energy.maquito
    • +1 for use of the word, HegemonyGnash
    • US and china are also partners >> transitive. World economy. "Keep them confused". Producing, mobilizing and allocating resources to sustain violence and fear.maquito
    • A permanent Ouroboros that was kept world economy moving for centuries.maquito

      Or as detritus said. But it's Wendy's, cause Rodman's fave.      maquito
    • They ran out of food.
      Or that kpop music they play at the border is finally working.      pango
    • Yeah, it has to be some kind of back channel agreement, drop the nuke program and we'll remove sanctions/invest X dollars in your economy.MondoMorphic
    • It is more about the US putting serious leverage on China..And China threatening NK and saying, this ends now.Hayoth
    • And what leverage is that, exactly?detritus
    • There's a lot of money to be made if North Korea opens up to the world.yuekit
    • South Korea has no other way to ship goods over land except through North Korea so that alone would be huge business.yuekit
    • +1 detritus and I feel it's an opportunity to shut the US (their main enemy) out of Asia's rise to dominance while the Trump shit-circus continues to distract.brandonp
    • It's, the Trump effect, he's telling/showing other world leaders they can be rich and prosperous too and there is no need for war.robotron3k
    • the deal here is china pushing against the military presence of the us in the region. peace in Korea means no more justification for us bombers down there.uan
    • and they want to reach that by offering the Koreans possibilities for trade and access to the global market. +the whole infrastructure, development market.uan
    • The leverage is China still needs the US for there economy. You think the trade war propaganda was for nothing?Hayoth
    • Trojan Horse, for sure.ben_
    • The 'trade war propaganda' is and was for perceived trade imbalances and Chinese distortions of WTO. Fuck all to do with Korea.detritus
