In an ideal world we'd open up dialogue with them, you cannot have a one sided affair in terms of diplomacy. Trump has screwed up any chance of dialogue though... They need assurance that no harm will come to them if they give up their nuclear ambitions, nobody can deliver that.
The Chinese and Russians are weary of the US and for good reason, they cannot guarantee the US will never attack, they cannot guarantee the sovereignty of North Korea. All they can do is speak hypothetically and make accords to such situations, in that aspect nothing has changed with Korea. Nothing at all.
The only one with emphasis on time is the US, it's well worth noting. Considering North Korea has been starving a while now.
The US cannot lead any dialogue though, hell no. They shouldn't even have a say. It's a conflict of interest.

North Koreans wouldn't have to eat grass or be starving like they have been for decades under a psychotic dynastic regime who spends all its money on the elite, army and weapons development etc. Surely their priority should be the feeding of the people. This regime is brutal and the worst state imposed brain washing control of a nations people on the planet.

This is the situation that almost every country in the world faces in my view. If you oppose the United States in a serious manner, you'll be crushed in one way or another unless you're a superpower.
More North Koreans than ever are going to starve to death so that their country can survive as a sovereign entity. Their choice is either accepting U.S. hegemony or limping along as a starving, hopelessly impoverished nation.
Putin said North Koreans would eat grass rather than give up their nuclear ambitions. It looks like that theory is about to be tested.
The scary thing to me is that all of this makes North Korea the equivalent of a cornered, wounded animal.
"We define this 'sanctions resolution' rigged up by the U.S. and its followers as a grave infringement upon the sovereignty of our Republic, as an act of war violating peace and stability in the Korean peninsula and the region and categorically reject the 'resolution,'" it said.
"There is no more fatal blunder than the miscalculation that the U.S. and its followers could check by already worn-out 'sanctions' the victorious advance of our people who have brilliantly accomplished the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force," the ministry said.
Other aspects of the sanctions include all North Korean nationals working abroad having to return to the country within 24 months, and a ban on North Korean exports of goods such as machinery.

The level of irresponsibility and threats from its leadership are unbelievable and warrant nothing less than being defined as being a sick of mind regime.
NK will not be permitted to further develop its nuclear capability that you can be assured of and if they don't agree to enter talks to resolve the situation peacefully they will be dealt with by China and the US in the next 12 months! This is not a speculation but an imperative to ensure that the Korean Peninsula doesn't become a nuclear catastrophe for this planet.
Maybe you werre not aware of this but the US military sea rations that are expired are funneled to North Korea and have been for many years, so no, the nk military IS NOT STARVING.

Threatened us with nuclear annihilation?

You mean ... Kim would
Rather have his People eat grass then give up nuclear missiles ....not his people ... They have no say . .... ( plus they're already eating grass) ....As far as I'm concerned , Kim is a rabid dog and will do something dumb as soon as he has the capability. He's been testing and working on it . ... His saber rattling will eventually turn to
Action ..... It's not a matter of if... It's a matter of when ,

Cmon dont be a bunch of cowards. Lets pick on someone our own size I declare.
It's time we attack India they have all the same excuses to go war benchmarks as NK.
Lets not be hypocrites here, if NK deserves it then so does India. All we have to do is slap sanctions on them, encircle embargo them with navy ships and artillery, run 24/7 war propaganda against them in our media, and before too long they'll warn us they're capable of striking back if we strike them, just like NK has been, and then we'll have our excuse to go to war.
Lets man up and do this yo!
