CHINESE PLAN TO EASE OVERSTRETCHED U.S. EMPIRE OFF KOREAN PENINSULA GOES UP A GEAR

China's plan to remove the over-extended U.S. global empire from East Asia has gone up a notch after its puppet leader in North Korea, Kim Jong-un, offered to de-nuclearlize North Korea in exchange for a security guarantee from the USA. 

As reported by the Mexican-owned New York Times:

North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, has told South Korean envoys that his country is willing to begin negotiations with the United States on abandoning its nuclear weapons and that it would suspend all nuclear and missile tests while it is engaged in such talks, South Korean officials said on Tuesday.

During the envoys’ two-day visit to Pyongyang, the North’s capital, which ended on Tuesday, the two Koreas also agreed to hold a summit meeting between Mr. Kim and President Moon Jae-in of South Korea on the countries’ border in late April, Mr. Moon’s office said in a statement.

"The North Korean side clearly stated its willingness to denuclearize," the statement said. "It made it clear that it would have no reason to keep nuclear weapons if the military threat to the North was eliminated and its security guaranteed."

If the statement is corroborated by North Korea, it would be the first time Mr. Kim has indicated that his government is willing to discuss giving up nuclear weapons in return for security guarantees from the United States. Until now, North Korea has said its nuclear weapons were not for bargaining away.

Such an arrangement, which would have to be underwritten by neighbouring China and Russia, would inevitably include South Korea and thus would make a continuing US presence on the Korean peninsula superfluous. 

Removing the logical justification for US troops in Korea would then prepare the way for a domestic campaign to remove US bases, which remain deeply unpopular in the communities that are forced to host them.
