Why negotiate at all? Can someone tell what has ever been gained so far from the NK regime in all previous negotiations.
Whenever they have some kind of crisis they force a negotiation and get some kind of aid or concession. What have they ever given up besides stopping to starve once they've gotten their bags of rice? I see no point in further negotiations. Just isolate the hell out of them. Don't let a single grain of rice, dollar or bit of information pass that border either way. That is the only solution left besides a military one.

They can still produce nukes under that solution.
Once they have a stockpile we’re all going to get a crash course in what an ancient pirate state used to look like.

But that's the whole game, the left will negotiate simply for the sake of negotiation, just keep the nuclear stick and carrot coming, and eventually the left will negotiate themselves into being proxies for Pyongyang in a deal with the devil confederation, just have to get the Americans out of the way, then the left will turn on the right, and repress them on behalf of Pyongyang, for the sake of "peace".

This is already happening in nascent form, if you're on the right in South Korea and you take a hard line, you're already a "troublemaker" even now.

The left will turn on and oppress the right for the sake of lulz, they don’t need Pyongyang for that.

Well they will exploit that, but the level of repression in a confederation would start to blur the lines between the North and South, North Korean levels of repression would leak over the border by default, not to mention they will probably be demanding that certain "criminals" in the South be extradited to the North to face trial for their "crimes", see how that works?

If you're a "troublemaker" in the confederation, the DPRK stick is poised to crack down on you, even if you are in the South.

Appeasement only leads to the choice between fighting and surrendering.

Is it possible the left in Hawaii is behind the missile scare as well I wonder? From what I heard this was a state emergency branch and had nothing to do with FEMA or any other federal agency. It's an intriguing notion, the left working with North Korea even in America. It's a well known secret that the left in Australia has a cozy relationship with Red China.

Holding a "state emergency exercise" once a month, where they sound the air raid sirens, is obviously intended to whip the Trump Derangement Syndrome up into a frenzy, but I think they just screwed the pooch and sent out the missile warning alert instead of just sounding the air raid sirens as planned, but maybe they did it on purpose, hard to say, they have plausible deniability in the end.

There was also, according to rumors, pictures of these idiot diversity hires working at whatever office is responsible for this, with their passwords written on post-it notes circulating around. No idea how true that is. Could probably look into it but that's not as fun as toying with the idea of a Democrat fifth column.

I'm here on Oahu and am certain that it is true. Hawaii is basically as close to 3rd world as one can get and still be a US citizen. There are 6 houses on my block, I think only 2 have email and we are the haoles of the bunch.
