North Korea agrees to curb nuclear work and missle testing

[rightwinger]

The risk is wasting billions of taxpayer dollars, but this post gives a good look as to how important that is to you.

Really now?

Providing food to starving people in exchange for a reduced nuclear threat is a waste of taxpayers dollars.......but keeping tens of thousands of troops on high alert for 60 years isn't?

That's if you blindly assume they'll get the food. That's if you assume they'll follow the terms. They already have tons of nukes, who gives a damn if they get more? Our troops have no reason to be in South Korea as it is other than the military industrial complex, rest assured this treaty isn't going to bring anyone home.

Besides wouldn't you rather have those billions wasted here at home for our homeless people rather than those in North Korea?

They don't have tons of nukes....we are the only ones with tons of nukes

By accepting the terms of the deal, the world is a whole lot safer. I don't give a shit what they do with the food. We made a deal, it is now their food. We still get a toned down threat in the Korean peninsula and all it cost us was some food

North Korea is now run by a man who went to school in Switzerland.

Another in a string of foreign policy victories for the Obama administration.

Even you can't be this fucking stupid.

yes. he can.

I see it playing out like this.

NK accepts inspectors... NK accepts food... food is delivered... NK kicks out inspectors... back to square 1.

 

[rightwinger]

So the cost of preventing a 9/11 style disaster in South Korea wasn't appropriate to you?

I suppose that's a fair position to hold but its hardly justification for blindly trusting a country that has done nothing but deceive us for the past half century.

Sorry...but you are making no sense

9-11 style disaster? A nuclear weapon lobbed over the DMZ would kill millions not thousands

What is the risk of having given them food and have it fall apart later?

I doubt they would use a bomb like that. I have no doubt however that were we not on the border a dirty bomb would have been smuggled across and mass deaths would have been the result.

Why is the left so opposed to helping our allies?

Again you are making no sense

South Korea has been our ally for 60 years

So what have we lost?

A couple tons of rice?

They kick out inspectors, food shipments stop......Big deal

Well they have enough to easily blow up multiple cities and kill billions.

No the world isn't safer, unless you blindly assume they'll stick to the terms of SUSPENDING not DISBANDING as you said, their nuclear program.

We'll still have tons of troops in South Korea, North Korea has never been a major threat cuz they're dear friends with our dear friends China.

All that will happen is it'll be good p-r for Obamabots and billions of american taxpayer dollars will be wasted.

Sec Clinton just released a statement calling this a modest first step.

Doesn't sound like the partisan hack dance Chris and rightwinger are doing. In fact it sounds like a very reasoned and mature response. Take notes you two dildos

The death of Jim Jung Il by heart attack, is an Obama foreign policy victory?

You are one serious wack-a-doodle.

 

[Unkotare]

i just hope the food doesnt go for the government and not the people.

What are the odds...

 

[Unkotare]

Why does each and every administration keep doing this stupidity?
They make a promise, then the they get the aid and then they break the promise.

Because of idiots like the lefty dupes spouting off on this thread.

The nuclear disarmament will be verified by UN inspectors. North Korea has millions of starving people. They need food aid every day. It is not like they can take a delivery and their food problems are over

Dictators depend on suckers like you.




And the people continue to suffer and starve.

It will not go to the ones who are starving,it never does.

NK's been playing this game for decades but because obama is president these lefty idiots will ignore reality and mindlessly cheerlead anything.

Must be a sale on blue dresses going on or something...

So what are they giving up? They'd are suspending nuclear weapons tests and uranium enrichment and allowing weapons inspectors

What are we giving up? Some rice


Where do we lose?

 

[ThirdTerm]

It is a modest first step in the right direction toward the goal of denuclearizing North Korea. At least the new leader could win hearts and minds domestically by alleviating the food shortages temporarily as the U.S. will ship 20,000 tons of food to North Korea each month for a year but Kim Jong-un will have to implement political or economic reform while avoiding unnecessary provocations.

Ummm. Take note of what?

North Korea is showing some signs of moderation. We give them some rice and they allow inspectors

Only an idiot right winger obsessed with Obamas failure would not see that as good news

 

[RetiredGySgt]

WASHINGTON — North Korea agreed to suspend nuclear weapons tests and enrichment and allow international inspectors to verify and monitor activities at its main reactor, the State Department announced on Wednesday, as part of a deal that included an American pledge to ship food aid to the isolated, impoverished nation.

Although the Obama administration called the steps “important, if limited,” they signaled a potential breakthrough in the impasse over North Korea’s nuclear weapons program following the death late last year of the country’s leader, Kim Jong-il. He has since been replaced by his son Kim Jong-un, and administration officials have been watching closely to see if his rise to power would alter the country’s behavior. North Korea also agreed on a moratorium on launches of long-range missiles, which have in the past raised military tensions in South Korea and Japan.

How many times have they AGREED to end their program if only we would give them something? And then thumbed their noses at us?

Apparently you lefty dupes lose your minds over your adoration of all things obama. They've been pulling this shit for decades, you fucking idiot. It's always the same old song and dance. UN 'inspectors' are taken on a few staged trips to see uber-grateful peasants praise Kim while eating heartily, the 'suspended' nuclear program goes on unabated at locations X,Y,Z while a big show is made of stopping work at location A (or for even greater effect, an unused or redundant facility is destroyed), the NK military gets larger rations for a while, the Kims further enhance their own positions, inspectors are put off, stalled, double-talked as they grow frustrated at what even dopes like them eventually start to figure out, and when the performance seems to be coming apart some bullshit pretex for 'outrage' from the NK regime is fabricated, they grow more militant and obstinant which scares the lefties into begging them for renewed negotiations - the process of organizing stretches out over months or years, and the whole cycle of deception, appeasement, and stupidity eventually starts again. Can't blame the evil fuckers for pulling the same shit over and over since it keeps working on idiots like you and equally willing dupes in the governments of various countries.

It's just a bunch of fucking rice. We send them a shipload of the shit and see what happens. Best case........starving people get fed, NK allows access to nukes

Worst case.....they fuck us over and we stop sending them rice.
