North Korea ready for talks over nuclear weapons

North Korea ready for talks over nuclear weapons

www.guardian.co.uk

Beijing - North Korea said today it was open to talks about the rising tension over its nuclear weapons programme, a marked shift in tactics after months of ratcheting up foreign anxieties with nuclear test and missile launches.

The statement appeared to be a call for direct talks with the United States, a longstanding goal of the regime. It comes days after the North Korean leadership traded jibes with the US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, at a regional summit in Thailand.

continued:

It said she was "by no means intelligent" and looked like a schoolgirl or a pensioner going shopping, after she compared it to a group of "small children".

In today's announcement the foreign ministry in Pyongyang made clear its continued opposition to the six-party nuclear talks, which it said sought only to "disarm and incapacitate" the nation.

The statement from a foreign ministry spokesman, carried by state media, said that siding with those who sought their resumption "will not help to ease tension". But it said: "There is a specific and reserved form of dialogue that can address the current situation."

So it looks like North Korea now has a nuke and is ready to talk about(pressure from China anyone?) I knew this would amount to nothing as NK always has done in recent history... Big words, small actions...

Oh they are ready to talk now! What happens the next time, N Korea decides to throw another tantrum?

Fire a nuke, as a result. No negotiations should proceed what so ever. They have done this before, they will do this again the next time they do not get thier own way.

Oh Kimmy, you are like school in summertime.....

How the hell can N.K expect to talk, when they threatened the lives of practically MILLIONS? That in itself demands actions now, this man is a nutjob. If he wants to talk, he should go to the UN himself, get upon centre stage and apologize for being an international douchebag.

I just watched a documentary about NK.

I dont think NK will listen to the USA on this one....

apparently because of the Korean war, and the way the US soldiers treated the Korean civilians.

They have NO outside view of the USA. the citizens there think that their country is the greatest on the planet. they are being controlled and fooled by their leader kim. the citizens also treat him as if he was a god.

NK is a bit jacked up. (i use the word bit loosely) i dont think they will be bending over backwards for the USA anytime soon...

What i do find hard to beleive is that KIM will let his people see the outside world, if they did, i dont think he would hold any kind of power in his country at all.

What my point is, that KIM will do anything for this power so his country cant be touched by outsiders VIA nuke stockpile. i also beleive this man will also have the cahungas to push the big red button (start a nuke war) at any point in time...

Makes me think for a min, we invaded iraq to overthrow sadam, but the iraqi's never had it as bad as the Koreans, and those people are in serious need of liberation.

IDK anymore, with the nuke talks and what-not. i see it as a stall tactic... nothing more...

i think NK is the biggest threat to society to date.

here is the video that changed my perspective of NK.
