Something seems to have spooked the shit out of the Kim regime where they have flat out said they will give up their nukes as long as they're not taken out. As has been pointed out elsewhere here, Kim Jong Un has it pretty good. He can kill or fuck whoever he wants. He certainly can eat whatever he wants. He's the ultimate gangster. Why give all that up when you know the U.S. and South Korea will not seek to end you as long as you de-nuke?
Yeah, this sudden about face makes me wonder about the legitimacy of this segment that I saw on 60 Minutes in recent weeks. Apparently some Nuclear Expert from here in the USA had been allowed to go inside the North Korean facilities. He was allowed to within reason, view some of the equipment and technology that the North Koreans are using in their nuclear arsenal program. Heck, that expert was even allowed to handle ... a piece of plutonium, I believe it was. You know ... as in supposed proof that the North Koreans do actually have plutonium and the ability to make nuclear bombs and that it wasn't all just some hoax.
That USA Nuclear Expert got to see this huge building full of thousands of ... I forget what they're called now, but they were devices that I believe process / prepare the plutonium or something. Bottom line --- that 60 Minutes segment was supposed to scare the living shit out of us at just how close North Korea was to being able to nuke the shit out of us.
And now suddenly .......... BAMM! Kim is suddenly willing to denuke if he is left alone and not kicked out of power? Their nuclear arsenal progress & power depicted on 60 Minutes must have been way exaggerated BS as I suspected at the time. I remember thinking at the time that I was watching the segment, "Well shit! Just because some object LOOKS like an atomic bomb ... has the traditional SHAPE of an atomic bomb (As possibly Googled up on the Net), does not mean it actually IS an atomic bomb. It could be a fucking empty shell of an object."
