Is Kim Jong-un Serious This Time?

You betcha!

North Korea didn't want talks to denuclearize during the Lee Myung-bak and Park Kun-hye administrations. They were hostile and didn't want peace with North Korea. If Kim Jong-un held peace talks with these administrations, then the credit would go to conservative administration of Lee Myung-bak or Park Kun-hye. The same Korean conservative party that always calls the opposition leftists, communist sympathizers and other bigotry. If you were Kim Jong-un, would you want that?

However, the administrations of Kim Dae-jung and Noh Moo-hyun wanted talks and peace with North Korea. They understood that North Korea probably would not keep its promises, but tried anyways.

The present administration of Moon Jae-in can be seen as a continuation of the administrations of Kim Dae-jung and Noh Moo-hyun.

North Korea has said in the past they would give up nuclear weapons, if the US guaranteed that they would not overthrow or oppose the present North Korean regime. Now, they said it's too late and they will not give up nuclear weapons. I think they will not give up what they have, but they should agree not to go further. Give up reprocessing, developing further technology needed to become fully nuclear.

All sides are serious, but can they work out an agreement?

Why God Is Needed?

Without God, humans would be stuck in a self-centered consciousness. Those who know, believe, or live in a God-centered world, understand what a non self-centered consciousness is.
