Not gonna happen.
The US needs South Korea to be in a perpetual state of war with the DPRK in order to SELL More military equipment. Cuz money. Shareholders who want money must be satisfied.
Kimmy boy probably owns stock in all of the US MIC stocks...he'd be a fool if he didn't.

I'm sure they will buy as much time as they need to advance their nuclear weapons and ballistic missile capabilities through "diplomatic" strategies to engage with the south and ultimately attempt to coerce them into a deal that is in their best interests... OR ELSE!
The south might ultimately conclude that if they want to live without a constant threat of attack from the north they will have to make concessions. Leading to a kind of reunification under joint rule, with a severed alliance between the south and USA.
NK wins.
But it's just a theory.

The sanctions are crippling North Korea. They are cornered but they have ONE card left to play.
Thats the South Korean left wing government.
Already there is friction between the south korean government and the USA. The south Korean government seem to want appeasement rather than a hard line that the USZ are taking, plus they are upset over the Anti missle system installed (idiots). They are also very anti Japan.
This new charm offensive by North Korea I think is a attempt to drive a wedge between the USA and South Korea.
Its a long shot but if relations between South Korea and the USA sour enough, south korea may very well tell the USA to pack there bags and piss off......
And thats when the North will strike as they will have a fighting chance at this point.
Any way, thats my theory and its only a theory, but it seems thats the only way forwards North Korea have to go.
