Quid Pro Quo anyone?

The CORE ISSUE which John Delury elaborates on is DPRK’s need for security. That is where the knot gets unraveled. Instead of reducing DPRK's deterrent to 0, go for 50%. I bet they'll bite. Ask them!

3/“There is no military option w/ North Korea, but continued military threats, sanctions and antagonistic rhetoric by the U.S. will inevitably heighten tensions.”

How do you extricate US-DPRK relations out of a Mexican standoff?
MUTUAL SECURITY GUARANTEES

I wonder if
@HouseForeign
@VP
@AOC
@POTUS
@WhiteHouse
@TheBlueHouseENG
could ever recognize the TRUTH even when it was right in their faces?

2/The highly social DPRK society isn’t as it is portrayed by Western media.
3/Children are cherished and their education is invested in.

Just so you know, IFF a Biden Admin thinks of staging a military attack against the sovereign socialist state of DPRK, they're not backing down.

2/Clearly Washington doesn't comprehend how a socialist system works, and doesn't understand how nuclear deterrence works. If you had any brains, you'd end the Korean War and ratify a peace treaty. Your fear is IRRATIONAL. You're mistaking a coiled rope in the night for a snake.
3/The danger's all in your mind. DPRK wants peace & it has the sovereign right to defend itself against US threats of regime change, decapitation strike or preemptive nuclear first strike. You can fool the People but you won't fool God. Tom Petty's song is exactly how DPRK feels.

Pentagon is Fearmongering in DC over DPRK’s justified Nukes

“The U.S. military must be prepared as North Korea continues to pursue nuclear, chemical & biological weapons, a high-level Pentagon official told a House Armed Services subcommittee hearing.”
nknews.org/2021/05/us-for…
2/“North Korea’s continued pursuit of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons jeopardizes international stability and weakens the global nonproliferation regime,” wrote Walsh, warning that American joint armed forces should be ready if Kim Jong Un “[seeks] to employ weapons of
3/"mass destruction (WMD) in the course of or to stave off a conflict on the Korean Peninsula.”
She wrote that the Pentagon will work with allies to “deter and delay North Korea’s WMD ambitions,” adding that Washington plans to train U.S. forces how to fight in conditions where

WHERE IS YOUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH, SEOUL?👇

"On April 1, a small South Korean publisher made available all eight volumes of Kim Il Sung’s “With the Century,” which was first released in North Korea in 1992 and has been available in several other countries."
wsj.com/articles/north…
2/Moon's Sunshine Policy really reeks of hypocrisy. Not allowing South Korean citizen's to read Pyongyang literature under the NSL erects an impenetrable invisible barrier that will keep Korean's perpetually divided. This makes "reunification" talk code for One Blue Korea.
3/Why doesn't Seoul officially recognize DPRK as a sovereign socialist state? The fighting's stopped and you don't want it to start up again. Seoul DID NOT WIN the Korean War. So it's time to end it and RECOGNIZE the sovereignty of DPRK.☮️ means 2 countries coexisting peacefully.

Analysis: Diplomatic dance or standoff? N.Korea and U.S. tread cautious line
reuters.com/world/diplomat…
“American officials have stressed they are looking for "practical" diplomatic goals and are open to talks, but say the ball is in North Korea's court.
2/""We have... a very clear policy that centres on diplomacy and it is, I think, up to North Korea to decide whether it wants to engage or not on that basis," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday.”

So let me get this straight. After all the hype and build-up
3/surrounding the Biden Admin’s North Korea Policy Review, instead of a rollout of the policy we, including DPRK, have to piece together media statements by Blinken, Sullivan, Austin & other officials ourselves to surmise what the dam policy is? (B/c it’s “classified”.) And the

Return of the Foreign Ministry: Choe Son Hui’s Message to the US
38north.org/2021/03/return…
The channel for interaction with Washington once again will be DPRK’s Foreign Ministry, and that means dealing w/ a very cool lady: seasoned high-ranking diplomat Ms Choe Son Hui.
2/“First Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui issued a statement on March 18 focusing on the current state of US-DPRK relations…Choe’s comments suggests, first and foremost, that the Foreign Ministry is preparing to become the channel for interaction with Washington once again…
3/"The key formulations are laden with qualifiers that reinforce that point. A few examples that indicate the game is only beginning include (note in all case, emphasis is added):
▪“We have already declared our stand that no DPRK-U.S. contact and dialogue of any kind can be
