For all the writers of comments on North Korea, and their possession of WMDs, your short memory betrays you. Or you are ignorant of history. The United States is the only country to use Weapons of Mass Destruction! America is guilty of using WMDs on the Japanese people, so how is t we have the right to threaten countries who have, or want of have WMDs?
How is this logical?
f TWEETY! President Trump! War is very, very, very ugly. There are no "do overs" when you kill people.

The time for TALK IS NOT OVER!!! It never started when it comes to ending the tension between North and South Korea.
As long as here is no peace treaty, only an armistice, North Korea has every reason to fear American aggression and USA WMDs! The US WMDs are what scares North Korea, and why not? America cannot be trusted either!
PLEASE NEGOTIAE A PEACE BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING STUPID TO MAKE WAR ON NORTH KOREA!
War is not pretty sir. America, President Trump will live in infamy if there is a war when we could have easily negotiated the PEACE.
Think about it. North Korea fears America, a country that unilaterally attacked Iraq. North Korea has lived under an Armistice for 60 years. That means we are not at peace. Obviously North Korea would prefer a PEACE AGREEMENT.

"It was the end of the longest negotiated armistice in history: 158 meetings spread over two years and 17 days. That evening at 10 p.m. the truce went into effect. The Korean Armistice Agreement is somewhat exceptional in that it is purely a military document—no nation is a signatory to the agreement. Specifically the Armistice Agreement:
- suspended open hostilities;
- withdrew all military forces and equipment from a 4,000-meter-wide zone, establishing the Demilitarized Zone as a buffer between the forces;
- prevented both sides from entering the air, ground, or sea areas under control of the other;
- arranged release and repatriation of prisoners of war and displaced persons; and
established the Military Armistice Commission (MAC) and other agencies to discuss any violations and to ensure adherence to the truce terms.
The armistice, while it stopped hostilities, was not a permanent peace treaty between nations.
President Eisenhower, who was keenly aware of the 1.8 million American men and women who had served in Korea and the 36,576 Americans who had died there, played a key role in bringing about a cease-fire."
Peace is essential to avoid war with North Korea that could lead to the death of 30,000,000 Koreans, MILLIONS!!!, and 25,000 American soldiers, THOUSANDS. And why would America want war?
"It’s time for the U.S. to negotiate a peace treaty with North Korea"
Recent calls by experts for a deal with the North are a long time coming

"Why are discussions for a peace treaty with North Korea not an option to resolve the extraordinarily dangerous tensions on the Korean peninsula? At long last, experts with long experience negotiations with the North Koreans are publicly calling for negotiations."
Peace is the most wise choice. Another pre-emptive strike like Iraq by the USA will be the death knell of all American values.
"Despite virtually no outside assistance for 35 years with the demise of the Soviet Union and ever increasing sanctions by the international community for the past ten, North Korea has been able to develop its nuclear program and its missile program and put satellites into space— all, of course, at the expense of funding the level of social and economic programs its citizens need.
If the international community really wants to resolve tensions on the Korean Peninsula and give the North Korean people a chance to rejoin the community of nations, a peace treaty that gives North Korea the assurances it needs for its survival is the first, not the last step."
It seems senseless for America and Tweety to be so bellicose with North Korea. If you corner North Korean leaders you will go down in history as one of the biggest fools on the planet.

"1) Why do we need a peace treaty? Isn’t the Korean War over?
The Korean War is not over. No peace treaty was ever signed.
The fighting ended in 1953, but only an armistice was signed – a temporary measure to end the conflict. Fighting can resume at any time. "

"5) What steps are needed to achieve a peace treaty? Steps towards reconciliation have already started to happen between North and South Korea since the historic summit of 2000, when leaders of both countries met for the first time ever,and then again with the summit of 2007. While there have been some setbacks with the conservative Lee Myung Bak presidency, the overall trend towards reconciliation has been set.
For the U.S. and North Korea, we believe that U.S. should use aid and leverage to start to build a relationship of trust while ameliorating the severe humanitarian crisis that afflicts North Korea, then to work towards negotiations to draw up a peace treaty – that this time includes South Korea (which was not included in the original armistice agreement). On the U.S. side, in order to get a peace treaty signed, at least the “advice and consent” of the Senate would be needed, and then ratification by the President. But it will take public interest and effort to get this issue on the presidential priority list, and to begin to dismantle and challenge the past 60 years of “cold war” and “red scare” mentality that has been embedded in U.S. mainstream media."
