BFTP: Pass The NorKo, My Back Aches
BFTP = Blast From The Past
As POTUS travels back to the States after his meeting with the North Korean leader, we are reposting a piece we wrote last April. We were kind of lone rangers and took some wrath as almost everyone was lathered up about a North Korean peace deal and chants of “Nobel Peace Prize!” were ubiquitous at Trump rallies.
Our quick analysis or the recent summit is that both leaders badly misjudged each other leading up to Vietnam summit. Trump in his chummy relationship with Kim; and Kim, probably receiving bad advice from China and Russia, that Trump was desperate for a “win” and was willing to give away the store.
A Signal To China?
Could Trump be sending a signal to President Xi? A signal “not so fast” on a China-U.S. trade deal? That is he’s not going to roll over that easy? The market has not priced what we call a “Mad King risk premium.”
You know our view that North Korea is just a pawn in the bigger geopolitical power between the U.S. and a rising China with Russia playing her bit part.
Our conclusion back then (last April)?
Curb Your Enthusiasm
George W. doesn’t have a Nobel Peace Prize that we know of.
We have always believed talking to adversaries is always a good thing. Kudos to POTUS for doing so.
Making love? Not so much. The complications of our diplomatic “one-night stand” and “foreign affair” now begins.
“Deja Vu All Over Again” In Korea
· Aid and US promise not to invade seals agreement
This is now, Kim Prepared to Cede Nuclear Weapons if U.S. Pledges Not to Invade
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, told President Moon Jae-in of South Korea when they met that he would abandon his nuclear weapons if the United States would agree to formally end the Korean War and promise that it would not invade his country, a South Korean government spokesman said Sunday.
In a faith-building gesture ahead of a summit meeting with President Trump, Mr. Kim also said he would invite experts and journalists from South Korea and the United States to watch the shutdown next month of his country’s only known underground nuclear test site. – NY Times, April 29, 2018
Eyes Wide Open
This administration has its eyes wide open. We know the history. We know the risks. We’re going to be very different. We’re going to negotiate in a different way than has been done before. We use the word irreversible with great intention. We’re going to require those steps that demonstrate that denuclearization is going to be achieved. We’re not going to make promises. We’re not going to take words. We’re going to look for actions and deeds. – Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, April 29
Like Father, Like Son
How do you know that the North Korean regime is lying? Answer: Their lips are moving. – National Security Adviser John Bolton
Curb Your Enthusiasm
George W. doesn’t have a Nobel Peace Prize that we know of.
We also hope it is not an all or nothing negotiation with Trump and Kim. The environment seems ripe to make the world safer and the lives better for the Koreans even if it just incremental and without achieving total victory as the administration sees it.
