Koreas Agree to Restore Joint Communications Line

The North Koreans have been much quieter then I was expecting them to be this summer. This leads me to believe there must be a lot of back channel communication happening that we don’t know about:

South and North Korea have restored their communication lines, Cheong Wa Dae said Tuesday, with leaders of the two countries agreeing to rebuild mutual trust for better inter-Korean relations. 

This latest development has raised hopes for another reconciliatory mood on the Korean Peninsula and a resumption of the stalled nuclear talks between the United States and North Korea. 

“South and North Korea have agreed to restore their communication lines, which had been severed, as of 10 a.m., Tuesday,” presidential senior secretary for public communication Park Soo-hyun said during a press conference.

“KOREAS AGREE TO RESTORE JOINT COMMUNICATIONS LINE”

Hey there Comrade Kim whatcha got for us?

Hey hey, my little running dog, I have got some seriously dank nugs for you. You want that in paper or hemp?

Let’s go with the hemp. What’s the Dear General up to?

Who knows, my man. Talk to the guy on the red phone. This line is only for joint communication. So how many you gonna need? You want a zip or a full elbow?
