| Koreans Agree To Talk To Koreans...Nikki Haley Furious! |
| 2018-01-04 |
| [Ron Paul Institute] In the last several days, North and South Korea have agreed to hold high-level talks, to re-establish a direct communication link, and to participate in the coming winter Olympic games. Taken together it appears a significant step toward reducing tensions on the peninsula and reducing the risk of catastrophic war. You would think the US would be pleased at the developments and hopeful that diplomacy might take over from saber-rattling. But you would be wrong. US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley has poured cold water on the developments, screeching that North Korea must first give up its nuclear program before talks can even take place. For more, tune in to today's Liberty Report: Related: Mercer's very critical view on Haley. |

| #13 Still a better place we were in 2 years ago. Now everyone just realizes the threat. We will see what happens in these talks on the 9th. |

| #12 Was there in '88 for the Summer Olympics. Semi-confinded to camp, no exercises or major movements in order to avoid upsetting the 'guests'. Could go to the events, but only in civies. |

| #10 The current ROK leader is Walter Chamberlain on steroids. How is it a surprise that he's looking for an excuse to cave? |

| #9 Oil interdictions are biting, and the ship to ship cheating has been made public, further limiting the sheer volume of cheating that can be done. He is spending whatever cash his drug-running and counterfeiting brings in for the missile programs to the point that his front-line, elite, border troops are starving, parasite riddled and now deserting. The soft tummy rub opening is meant to buy time, and Trump needed to let the SKORs have the Olympics. Had the threat now been postponed, a lot of people wouldn't come and Seoul would lokk very bad. Sadly, in the middle of the Olympics, look for a Nork power display since they are a one-trick pony ....for the last 60 years. As an aside, why is the USS Pueblo still floating? Surely its sinking might make a point since it is after all, our property |

| #8 The interdiction of oil shipments sent from Russia and China to North Korea probably also has him a bit concerned. |

| #7 Chinas troop movements are also spurring him to act. |

| #6 Don't be such h8ters! Sure, Pudge has cheated or reneged on every deal he has ever made, but *this* time Lucy will let Charlie Brown kick the football. No, really. I mean it. This is my sincere face! |

| #5 The South has a long history of bending over and spreading for the North. |

| #4 Seems like the North are trying to drive a wedge between South Korea and US and Haley doesn't want to let off the current pressure as it might be working. |

| #3 Ron Paul Institute is a mental ward, isn't it? Yes, but a bit smallish compared to the UN. |
