At Groundbreaking Ceremony, North Korea Tells South Korea to Violate Sanctions
The Kim regime keeps telling the Moon administration that it is time to forget the international community and just go ahead and break sanctions:
A senior North Korean official called on the two Koreas on Wednesday to go their own way without being swayed by outside influence in pushing for an ambitious inter-Korean project to modernize and reconnect railways and roads over their border.

Kim Yun-hyok, the North’s vice railway minister, made the remarks at the project’s groundbreaking ceremony that the two Koreas jointly staged at Panmun Station in the North’s border town of Kaesong.
“It is time to firm up our determination until we can hear the strong sound of a ‘reunification whistle’ and go forward without vacillation in the face of headwinds,” Kim said.
“Whether to make an achievement in the North-South railway and road project depends on our people’s determination and willingness. A unified federation that Korean people want cannot be realized ever if we mind how others think,” he added.

Commie Moon might as well since they’re going to be a pariah Confederacy state soon anyway.
Commie moon is already breaking sanctions, overlords in the north are very pleased.
One could suspect any collusion between North and South Korea to get around sanctions is noticed but tolerated as an unofficial reward for not being troublesome… and appearing to be on a path toward being even less troublesome.
Good for North Korea.
If necessary, South Korean strict enforcement of sanctions is as easy as shutting down all imports, disconnection from the international financial system, and asset forfeiture.
Even the threat of that would end South Korean public support to give peace a try.
Like everything in life, the real action, plots, and motivations here are not exposed to the public.
Much of life is composed of two parallel universes overlapping.
CH, I think the South Korean people will not react in time as they are increasingly blocked from foreign news and still too worked up thinking unification is some glorious fantasy where they finally become more powerful than the USA, Japan, and China…
Deep thinkers are generally not political activists.
“I think the South Korean people will not react in time”
MAGA means not caring if South Korean people react in time… or react positively or negitively… or not at all.
The goal is to reduce the threat North Korea presents to America and corporate sales-friendly global security.
While keeping North Korea as a threat so lots of cool weapons systems have an excuse to be developed, bringing North Korea into the global community so their workers can build things for 50 cents a day while buying all sorts of things on credit is also a good economic strategy.
There are competing factions pushing for these, and other, options.
Trump is a salesman, not a warrior.
Kim Jong-un is a cheese-eating European private school student well-acquainted with the wonders of capitalism, not a warrior.
The trick is finding out what everyone really wants and negotiating a deal where everyone wins.
This is possible.
South Korea isn’t going to go commie. North Korea isn’t going to attack. Trump isn’t going to get played.
There will be a deal. Deals are being worked out. Everyone will walk away happier.
…with the only problem being idealists, both left and right… the status quo Swamp, not just American but also the NK entrenched elite… and those who just want to see the world burn, such as the NeverTrumpers who openly want America to needlessly fail just so they can blame Trump.
CH, I mostly believe you…
And I hope you’re correct.
Otherwise I will have a hard time finding new sources for the kitschy tourist gear they sell outside the Osan AB main gate…
