China-Japan-Koreas
Two Koreas, UN forces agree to remove weapons at border
2018-10-24
[DAWN] North and South Korea and the UN Command agreed on Monday to withdraw firearms and guard posts in the demilitarised zone village of Panmunjom this week, Seoul’s defence ministry said, the latest move in a fast-improving relationship.

The three sides held their second round of talks at Panmunjom to discuss ways to demilitarise the border in line with a recent inter-Korean pact reached at last month’s summit in Pyongyang.

The US-led UNC, which has overseen affairs in the DMZ since the end of hostilities in the 1950-53 Korean War, was not immediately available for comment.
"I can say no more!"
 but it said on Friday it supports the two Koreas’ efforts to implement their military deal.

The announcement comes amid US concerns that the inter-Korean military initiative could undermine defence readiness and comes without substantial progress on North Korea’s promised denuclearisation.

#4   Pudge is setting up for some mischief, but anything major will call down the US military like the wrath of heaven.
Guess he forgot about Gen. Mathis.

#3   i dont trust them - this is too easy.

A reasonable suspicion given the history. I'd be *real* suspicious if anyone other than Trump was Prez, Trump the guy who nipped out between courses at a dinner with Xi Jinping to bomb a Syrian airbase.

I see two major paths:
1) Pudge is setting up for some mischief, but anything major will call down the US military like the wrath of heaven.
2) Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un seizes this opportunity to become the Godfather of Modern North Korea. He claims his place in history and leads his country to prosperity (read "no more peasants eating bark").

#2  Who is monitoring NKor rail traffic to the tunnel disembarking points? There should be a flurry of maint techs fueling, lubing and doing systems checks on the cached armor and artillery.
