2/US should incentivize DPRK to commit to permanently capping/freezing its nuclear & ICBM/SLBM programs, Arms Control & non-proliferation, in exchange for US agreeing to co-exist w/ nuclear DPRK and committing to ☮️. This requires skill, tact & finesse. I don’t see it in Biden.
3/If Biden is already dead-set on getting North Korea to completely denuclearize, said “new approach” will simply be the next reiteration of the failed pressure -> FFVD approach. Biden doesn’t understand DPRK’s security needs.
There’ll be zero or worse - negative progress (imo).

4/I sense that when North Korea policy makers in the Biden Admin read suggested strategies like the above 👆their response is: “Nah. We don’t want that. We want NK to completely denuke. So - more pressure, then wait. Strategic Patience.” The epitome of BS laziness & shoddiness.
