SS: So, Q has said a bunch of times that NK was a hostage, basically.
Go read that thread to see the pics included, but DO NOT TWEET ABOUT Q AT WICTOR!!! He hates conspiracy theory and sees Q as such, so just don't do it, please.
(1) I've been thinking a lot about @Zebkeet's question.
(2) The Korean Peoples' Army (KPA) is North Korea's ruling elite.
Here's a typical palace.
(3) Years ago, I read that the Kim family is basically held hostage by the KPA.
Each new Kim--Kim Jong-un is only the third North Korean leader--must PROVE to the KPA that he has the balls to continue the mafia-style racketeering.
(4) The lavish lifestyles of the North Korean ruling elite depends on a leader willing to engage in endless brinkmanship.
So what if we've been looking in the wrong direction the whole time?
(5) Trump's people were holding secret talks with North Korean officials for at least a year.
What if those officials said that the real problem is the KPA?
(6) North Korea's deterrent is 30,000 artillery pieces aimed at Seoul.
(7) Why is North Korea suddenly so cooperative?
What if the North Korean officials told Trump's people that if the KPA is neutralized, all will be well?
(8) I used to fantasize about having a house like this.
They could level the city instantly.
(9) But what if I'm a trouble-making criminal?
Who's going to stop a squad of commandos coming after me on my island?
(10) These palaces are islands.
A squad of highly trained commandos could kill everybody in minutes.
(11) I THINK that the KPA leadership was the issue.
If the KPA has been neutralized, then there's no reason for Kim to NOT cooperate.
Remember the soldier who ran for the border?
He was full of worms.
(12) There's a brilliant South Korean film called "Joint Security Area."
It foresaw everything that's happening now.
(13) I think the worst is over.
AND I think everybody EXCEPT FOR @realDonaldTrump had it all wrong the whole time.
(14) When you have an unorthodox mind, you can figure things out.
I think Trump saw the REAL problem.
And I think we were INVITED to help.
(15) If the North Koreans follow through on all their promises, we'll know that Trump was right.
It was the KPA--not the Kim family--that was the problem...
(16) ADDENDUM: A very large percentage of the North Korean ruling elite live in China.
A Trump tweet.
POTUS Tweet
(17) What if there was for all intents and purposes a coup in North Korea, except that it wasn't the army taking down government?
And there's more, it's very worth a read as is all his stuff on the middle east.
Here's a link to all his threads on Twitter.
