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.

About Me

My photo
JOHN Fitzpatrick
乌龟。 议院。 The Blog is sometimes serious, other times attempts are made at Humour.谢谢你,中国!我爱中国! I'm interested in North Asia-China, Japan and Korea, and Siberia; and also SE Asia, particularly Bangkok where we sometimes live when not in North Eastern China or North Eastern Australia. My wife and I do tend to commute a lot. Politically, if that matters, I'm usually on the side of strong central socialism in one form or another whenever it is based on astute Confucian principles and enables a free firing capitalist market system with intelligent and very strong controls. I am a published Australian writer, poems, non-fiction, and fiction. Fiction was book for young people Called Song of the Casskins published well by Scholastic Australia/Bloomsbury UK; Book of prose The Water Planet published by Satcen, Neutral Bay Sydney, Book of Non-fiction Reflections on Palliative Care...published Fitzwahoo 2000. I am slowly still writing 4 other books.
