    North Korea has always pursued dialog with South Korea and the USA. North Korea has been asking the US government to enter into peace talks for decades and the US government continually refuses. South Korea's president got elected on a message of pursuing peace through dialog, which is the exact opposite strategy promoted by US officialdom. In reality, it is the belligerent US government that is on the outside looking in, even as it tries to take responsibility for anything that resembles a positive development.

    What nonsense. We have a team of negotiators ready in Korea all the time. North Korea has never sought a peace treaty. They only talk to us when they need to con us in some way.

    You need to read a decent history of the Korean War and its aftermath.

    I'm well aware of the history.

    The only reason North and South Korea even exist is because US military planners arbitrarily divided the Korean peninsula in half in the aftermath of WWII.

    And after they imperiously divided the country in half, they installed a puppet regime in the South that brutally repressed anyone even resembling a "communist".

    Then there was the Korean war, which killed millions of North Korean civilians.

    Since then, North Korea has been trying to get the US government into peace negotiations, but the US government refuses to enter into peace talks unless North Korea meets certain preconditions first. The only problem is that the preconditions are the very thing North Korea wants to negotiate about. The US government is basically saying to North Korea, give us everything we want and then we'll think about negotiating. That is absurd. That's not how genuine negotiations work.

    No they have not. When I was there, the NKs would slam the table and refuse to agree to anything.

    That's because the US government never negotiates in good faith and never makes reasonable offers that other countries can accept. It's basically "my way or the highway" when you're dealing with the arrogant imperialists.

    The United States has occupied the Korean Peninsula for decades ensuring South Korean security, stability for Japan and the entire Pacific rim to include the South China Sea. Ethereal's post is quite preposterous. the 180 of reality

    It was always the NKs that were refusing to deal.

    The US government are the ones who keep putting unrealistic and unreasonable preconditions on peace talks. And when Tillerson hinted that talks could occur without preconditions, he was quickly overruled.

    You do know the North started the war right? You do know they have never agreed to a peace treaty?
