north korean nuclear crisis 在 Kristie Lu Stout Facebook 的最佳貼文
North Korea may be one of the most isolated countries in the world but it's not completely isolated.
Recently, the UN sent a top official to North Korea. That historic visit took place shortly after China sent a top envoy to Pyongyang. And now America's chief diplomat Rex Tillerson says the US is willing to talk to North Korea without preconditions.
What impact can diplomacy have on the nuclear standoff, and where does the crisis stand as we head into 2018?
I recently spoke with John Park, director of the Korean Working Group at the Harvard Kennedy School.
He tells me, "You get the image of two trains on a course toward collision. We are hoping these diplomatic overtures by the UN and other countries can slow it down."

[HOW WOULD YOU TAKE DOWN NORTH KOREA? (THE 7 CHOICES)]
If you were put in charge of one mission - to take down the North Korean regime - a mission that had previously left world leaders beaten and befuddled, where failure could result in changes to the political and physical landscape for generations to come….what would you do?
And time is of the essence here, as the longer you wait, the likelier it is for Dear Leader to complete development of nukes capable of reaching the continental US, or perhaps anywhere else in the world. Actually, according to some reports, it might already be too late!
But whether North Korea actually fires is another question altogether. If we are to rid the world of this nefarious regime - I’m talking the regime not the people - we have to consider the options. In this video, I’ll go over the seven way to take down North Korea - including the most destructive, the most convenient, the most secretive, and the most unexpected.
