  4.  @mykofreder1682  Explain your reasoning. What do they gain from having their own nuclear deterrent? They're going to force their way in to new trade deals? Show that they don't rely on China for security? Force us and others to end trade sanctions? How exactly does anyone gain from from NK having its own nuclear deterrent? Even China favors NK as a "rogue threat" rather than as a de facto nuclear state. You people all talk endless bullshit but never demonstrate that you know anything. "If Trump can withdraw most Korean troops and get full denuclearization verified by at minimum China, he would have accomplished something only at that point. More likely Trump will withdraw troops, since a peace deal and Kim will promise to never their nuclear weapons." That's insane. The only real threat from NK is that they act as a de facto vanguard actor for China, in various overt and covert ways. China is in no way the good guy (state) here. We have to show diplomatic restraint in allowing China to pretend to be the good guys but we don't trust China any more than we trust NK. Are you joking? "All things remaining unchanged on the North Korean side, they and Kim will be the only ones that can be called a winner in everything Trump has done." The only party that wants to claim victory (and allow others to claim victory) while keeping conditions the same is China. If NK can't begin to trade directly with developed nations they will continue to reply on China to keep their elites alive and that also means keeping the military fed. Everything else will continue to suffer. The NK elite know that the status quo leads only to history recording them as selfish losers and puppets of China. Staying alive is good, yes, but they dream about keeping their power and actually bringing more prosperity to their nation. They can't do that under the status quo and they now realize that relying on China in this way is a dead end and nothing more. The main impediment to this new paradigm is China. And NK knows it. How stupid do you think those people are? You think they sit around and do nothing all day but watch CNN while eating bon bons and Doritos?
