We are officially still at war with NK.
Crap, Truce was signed and agreed to by both sids. Mostly a defensive move on the part of the US who was getting relentlessly pushed south by massive Chinese intervention to protect their assets in the region.
Because US invaded Korea at Inchon, seeking to occupy the whole peninsula, emplacing troops and bases right on the Chinese border. Again what Korea is really about is containing and isolating China. But again (like Vietnam too) stupid US, push our weight around, bullying the world school yard, thinking they can dominate the Globe.
But talk like you about stopping evil dictators and WMD. Don't even preclude you can sell me that crap over and over, how dumb do you think the world is?
You should wake up and smell the stench of death around you.
An armistice isn't a peace treaty. So, yes we are still technically still at war.

US sued for peace because they were getting their arse kicked.
They begged to stop shooting because they were losing. Its a neat trick, dividing the country and pretending to not be at war, until later.
Yankee go home. You're not in America, this is not your country. If you persist, the world will rise up and defeat you just like all empires before it.
Technically speaking...

I find it suspicious that such a small and vulnerable country continues to taunt the world.
Fly missile tests over Japan .. really?
Would a small and vulnerable country really do that? Is that smart?

What if under-the-table deals have been made between North Korea and the secret government which includes the Western World and Japan?
How much money in defense expenditure can be justified with such a threat? .. Billions? Trillions of dollars?
I thinks so.
I even find suspicious a similar situation in the past, when Japan engaged in the Pacific Wars against Western territories during World War 2.
Would a small and vulnerable country really strike against Western territories all throughout the Pacific (knowing their end)?
I highly doubt it.
I also find it suspicious that Emperor Hirohito wears Western garments and badges of honor:
As have emperors that preceded them.
.. and have had good relations with the West in the past:

There is no secret deal with the West. North Korea knows that it can do what it wants with impunity, so long as it has Seoul in its sights.
The Western World knows that as soon as anyone invades North Korea, Seoul will be attacked with rockets, missiles, mortars and more. Hundreds of thousands of people would die indiscriminately.
The complete destruction of South Korea is North Korea's biggest and ONLY bargaining chip.
I just can't conceive that Dennis Rodman was a go between for hydrogen bomb tests.

My opinions
The US whether under Trump or anyone else does not care in the least about South Korea. Well they might care about the cheap labor that builds auto parts to undermine US Labor. BUT only barely.
North Korea is failing because of al the sanctum placed against primarily by the USA that is backed up by the UN. Though from tim the UN does grow balls. BUT the USA eventually make clear it will cut off all funding. Though I am an American clearly after 2000 the USA began to a threat to world peace.
The USA wants an non communist country at China back door. This is another reason besides minerals that we are Afghanistan.
I was station in Korea along the DMZ in 1981/82. It is my understand back then South Korea was open to unify with North Korea and was even will to allow it to remain Communist politically. I believe then either the south Korea president shot himself or a CIA agent shot him and tried to claim it was suicide. IT is my understanding that US told south Korea it would NEVER tolerate it allow communist government. IT is believed that without the US Military sharing South Korea bases China would invade in a nano second.
Whatever problems North Korea may really have it main concern is the sanctions imposed primarily by the USA. WITHOUT lifting those it does not amber what North Korea does it will almost always be in the dark. China has no reason to take any action or steps to help North Korea. Though communist also they have nothing to gain by making North Korea self sufficient.
It would not surprise me if what we NOW call the Shadow Government that was upset with FDR had attempted to work out some type of deal with Japan prior to war.
