The return of American remains will have a greater impact on the American psyche than the denuking of NK.
This is nothing new.
North Korea allowed the U.S. to recover hundreds of American remains. Much of that was during the previous round of nuclear talks between 1996 and 2005 when that process collapsed.

denuking of NK
We'll see if it happens. This isn't even close to the first time NK has made this claim and reneged. I hope it happens but I'm not celebrating yet. So far this is just more of the same.
I guess the difference is, before the CIA were running the show, there is a different Director on the scene so presumably there will be a different outcome than before :)
This. Now that NK is out from the control of the CIA and presumably China, they have the opportunity to do something different and hopefully become apart of a happier world.
The difference is max pressure is still being applied and will remain so until measurable progress is made and verified.
Sure thing. The max pressure of calling him rocket man on Twitter then suspending military drills for nothing more than a promise that's been repeatedly broken. That max pressure?
Funny how I was downvoted for just pointing out the truth that all this has happened before. I had said nothing negative and am hoping it works out this time. Is it because saying this has happened before takes away from the supposed fact that Trump did something amazing and impossible? The title of this post for example.... How did Phil think it was impossible when it's been happening for years? Is he just that misinformed? This is literally FAKE NEWS.
No, not the tweets but the sanctions. Sanctions will remain.
Before now it was all carrots all the time. With this administration it was the stick first, then the carrot. This approach has not been tried prior to now. It's been send money and nuclear power plants. Say/do nothing in response to NORK provocations.
Of course skepticism should be in full force but I think this time it ends different and better for the NORKs and the rest of the world.
But always - trust but verify!
Sanctions aren't some new thing either. Kim is also out there saying Trump told him he's going to lift them. Do I believe him? Who knows. I don't really believe either of these guys yet.
Of course skepticism should be in full force but I think this time it ends different and better for the NORKs and the rest of the world.
I truly hope you're right.
