North Korea has reportedly agreed to suspend uranium enrichment and halt nuclear and long-range missile tests, a development viewed with skepticism by some, who suspect the regime may resume activities once its food shortages are addressed. The discussion highlights the dual role of nuclear weapons as a means of international leverage and a tool for securing food aid for the starving population. Concerns are raised about the potential for North Korea to sell nuclear technology to other nations or groups, which could pose significant risks. The conversation also touches on the broader implications of sanctions and trade dependencies, drawing parallels between North Korea's situation and that of the U.S. under similar restrictions. The effectiveness of communism versus capitalism is debated, with some arguing that neither system has delivered a truly successful model. The thread concludes with a sense of distrust towards North Korea's government, reflecting a history of unfulfilled promises regarding nuclear disarmament.

I can concede that pure capitalism is just as much and pipe dream as pure communism.

Yeah, that's what I feel too.

Poppycock.

How many times did North Korea "halt" their nuclear programs?

I lost count.

Once they get food aid to their banquets, they will resume nuclear activities.

North Korea will launch a satellite mounted on a rocket to mark the 100th birthday of its late former President Kim Il-sung, state media reported.

I find this bit humorous.
