This is an unfair characterization. It is more like we are finally addressing a serious issue sincerely that will likely provide geopolitical, economic, and humanitarian benefits to the many parties involved in some way in the outcome of these negotiations.
The Korean border is the most dangerous border in the world.
This border is not so dangerous as to prevent Kim from meeting Moon Jae-in.
While talking to Un is a good idea pulling any military deterrent away is not.
Our bases in Japan, our navy fleet including cruise missiles, and South Korea's ground troops have not gone anywhere. For nearly seventy-five years, this has been the millitary situation on the peninsula. In fact, with the new navel task force assigned to the Pacific, we now have an usually large presence in the area compared to the recent past. The cancellation of navel excercises is a good will gesture to show our sincere interests in nogotiating a treaty. Kim has released some detainees(South Korean spys?) as a gesture himself.
The North Koreans have a made a promise to dismantle some nuclear stuff, but where are the inspectors in this process? And what does that have to do with all of the weapons on th border?
The terms of this negotiation will take quite a few meetings to work out. This is actually good because too many times the Americans in pushing for a quick deal have had to make concessions that were not as favorable has they could have under a self or media imposed time constraint. We has seen this happen on trade deals for a long time, for example.
NK can wipe out Seoul and our 40000 troops on the border with the weapons they already have in place.
Are you really wondering why North Korea has not attacked South Korea in 75 years and would all of a sudden would attack South Korea now?
We made a concession and the North Koreans made a promise. We are not on the winning side right now.
In negotiations or in sports, a winner is not determined after a single possession or quarter. It is the end result that counts. The beauty of this negotiation is there is an opportunity for everyone involved directly or indirectly to win.
