    Nukes (and more to the point, ICBMs) raise the stakes and potentially change the incentives for international partners, but the question of re-unification (and the prospect of conflict on the peninsula, nuclear or otherwise) exists independent of that, for the people who live there.

    All that NK discretionary income. New markets are always nice but SK's economy is not hurting.

    Everything can be better.

    You are talking about unleashing another 25 million people into the 'Korean' econcomy. That is a tremendous opportunity and one that SK would jump on in a heartbeat.

    Incredible that you guys are quick to report on Trump showing up to a stupid elitist dinner but not one comment on a paramount global issue like Iran still building nukes.

    What a disgrace the left has become.

    why do you guys continue to folow people that lie to you for sport ?

    I love how Ari Fleischer is somehow relevant here.

    Is it because he's a jew?

    How a robust "clerical error" put the U.S. on the brink of war with Iran for an hour or so.
