Yeah, at best it’d be some horrific monkey-paw result.

He can break the deadlock allright, but it would in all likelyhood be detrimental to South Korea

Oh, so that’s why he’s been redirecting Pacific forces to middle east, to break the deadlock

Amid all the debate surrounding the Iran war I’m reminded of how divergent America’s policies often are regarding other countries that have very comparable circumstances.
As Mark Carney said at Davos, the old “rules based order” has always been selective in who the rules are applied to and how they are applied, and the rule-breaker’s relationship with the great powers is always a key factor.
For example, Iran is considered a major threat to the United States because it funds Islamist militias in neighbouring countries, and because of its nuclear and missile programs.
But other countries in Iran’s neighbourhood, like Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar, also fund Islamist militias and interfere in conflicts in other countries. In fact Saudi Arabia and the UAE have had a falling out over funding and supporting rival factions in Yemen’s civil war. And yet this is overlooked.
Getting to North Korea, they already have nuclear weapons and they already have ballistic missiles capable of reaching the United States. This is a far bigger threat to the US than Iran is, but not only are they left alone; Trump has actively tried to court their dictator, Kim Jong Un, and is still doing so even as he tries to destroy the Iranian regime.

Didn’t have restarting the Korea War on my bingo card, but frankly this doesn’t feel that surprising anyway.

Does South Korea (or Kim or China) really want to break the deadlock?

The US is a criminal country ruled by a convicted felon, who lies every two seconds. Can’t believe he got voted in a second time.

I mean he did it in his first term, didn’t you notice? /S

Didn’t North Korea continue nuclear weapons development after Trump’s meetings with North Korea?

Trump should just take care of his own business at home.
He can’t even handle Iran , lies so much, and act like a spoilt little boy. Such a disgraceful son and father

His plan for doing that is pulling all the THAAD out of ROK

He’s awfully confident for someone who can’t seem to get a single fucking thing right.

Man, he’s gonna sell out South Korea isn’t he?

This is what I’m afraid of. Trump has already demonstrated he’s willing to put allies at risk to conduct military operations. He can attack NK and give a fuck less about what would happen to Seoul.

by telling South Korea to surrender?

In which direction?
We already know how he feels about Kim.

Cool, now ask him if he has a plan for how to do that.
And don’t settle for ‘concepts’ of a plan.
