      If they can’t get an impeachment vote through on a guy who literally orchestrated a coup, I’m not holding my breath.

      I don’t feel excited about a Korean Obama approaching the DPRK, given how the American Obama fumbled Venezuela and Haiti and Cuba. They’re still all mobbed up, even if the mob running their cartel is the “nice” one.

          Obama lifted some sanctions on Cuba for a few years, but it largely resulted in a flood of removed and agitators to get in through the back door and give us #SOSCuba in his second term.

          A serious official end to the war and dismantling of sanctions/blockades/entrenchments and resumption of travel would be a huge improvement for both countries. But if its just an excuse to flood North Korea with capitalist agitprop, the end result will be another pull back and further dissolution of trust between states.

          If you can’t get to a quorum after the President calls tanks in on your position, I have very little faith in your ability to break a logjam over the North.

            I mean, there are logjams but they talk and still visit each other relatives, and there is “north korean are puppeteering opposition”. It’s a difference
