Here is what Chinese expert on North Korea, Yang Xiyu thinks about the possibility of Kim Jong-un denuclearizing:
Yang Xiyu
Yang Xiyu, one of China’s leading experts on North Korea, said that Mr. Kim was clearly trying to repair the North’s deeply strained relations with Beijing, its traditional ally and benefactor, while opening new ties with its enemy South Korea.
Even so, Mr. Yang said, that did not signal that Mr. Kim was willing to give up his nuclear arsenal, though he has told South Korean envoys that he was prepared to discuss the possibility.
“He is starting a new game where he could make concessions on denuclearization,” Mr. Yang said. “At most, he will cut the grass, but he will not pull out the roots.” [New York Times]
If Kim Jong-un meets with President Trump and does not make any serious offer to denuclearize than Kim better be ready for if the Trump administration decides to come back with a bottle of Roundup to kill the roots.
Without using nukes, just Strategic Bombers, North Korea could be de-weaponized in about six hours total with probably less than 100 dead South Koreans. And those would just be the moles pretending to be KatUSAs…
Please don’t underestimate the effects the power that was originally designed to defeat the USSR could have on a much smaller, much less well defended target.
And while I hope it never comes to that, South Korea still holds the only deterrent–that being our desire to keep a strong ally from harm. If a break occurs, all bets are probably off and Pyongyang won’t be a thing anymore.
