the situation between USA and DPRK is better than it was. That's all that matters. It doesn't matter if DPRK has nuclear weapons the same as it doesn't matter that Pakistan, Israel or the USA has them. As long as they are not seen or heard, there is no problem. I think Trump has done well.

It is refreshing to me, as an old communist, to see the Union flags on top of the big cranes building Melbourne in the second decade of the 21st century. Well done, comrades, you came through, and ensured yourself and your families that you got well paid, when everyone else was weak and buckled under. Well done CFMEU! You have a damn good flag! You've done well.

Well, North Korea has stopped firing off rockets in response to the cessation of invasion war games on its border. This is a very good thing.

North Korea, like other pariah nations, like Israel and Pakistan, are not going to give up their hard won nuclear weapons...but as long as people dont see them, and, in particular, dont hear them, this is much better for everyone.
Well done Mr Trump and Mr Un.
North Asia, unlike the Middle East, is far too important to everyone on the planet to have war games and firework shows.

The great thing, in the current times, is that North and South Korea are talking. Whether either talks to the USA or China or Russia, doesn't matter at all. As long as Koreans are talking, there will be peace.

You know what keeps China together? No, it is not the Communist Party of China. China is kept together and gets stronger every day, and will so for the next 100 years, due to the intellectual power of Chinese women organising the Chinese family that does not break. Mao tried but couldn't break them. When Mao sought to really break things, he could...but he could never break the strength of Chinese women. The West can't break them. They are here for the long run.

I think one of the considerations regarding launching war anywhere on Northern Asia, especially around Korea, is that half of your enemies are North Asian women. Do you know how fucking smart they are? Do you know that if North Asian women had equal access to world universities, then they would pretty well fill them up based on intellectual merit? Do you really want to go to war with that cohort?
