Breaking: North and South Korea will sign a peace treaty later this year
- Thread starter Infinity Times Two

It's been about 65 years since the armistice. Although this peace treaty is a positive step, what were the casualties in this war since hostilities formally ended? Hundreds of thousands of people have died as a result of famine and gulags in North Korea, will this treaty benefit them? I don't mean to be cynical, but what tangible change does this bring?
Hmmm, I must've missed Kim claiming they successfully miniaturised warheads:
That would be quite the development - and now they're negotiating from a heck of a position.
Also the NYT article suggests they want complete denuclearisation before the end of Trump's first term. Good luck with that.

What's the number of deaths since the signing of 1953's armistice?
Yep. The United States pretty much had fuck all to do with this. However, we'll have to see if it sticks.
IIRC, East Germany is still dealing with effects and issues with re-unification, so even if it started tomorrow, Korea reunification could very well not 'complete' for decades.
In an age of the President of the United States ranting on FOX and Friends, this is monumental news.
So, what about the horrible stuff Kim did, does he get a pass while remaining in power forever? Surely Kim can't stay in power without ruling with an iron fist as usual so getting rid of nukes but giving him everything else is the deal?
It's a great step, no doubt but there is so much up in the air. Does the UN get to look around etc.

I don't care anymore.
If Trump gets the nobel peace prize, fine, I will tune out his bragging and know that the world is a little brighter with this development.
Screw it up? This is all because of him, and his magic twitter-diplomacy. This would never have happened without him, so let's all focus on him right now and give him the attention he deserves (read: desperately need at all times).
No, but hopefully it's the beginning of a decades long process.

"The leaders of North and South Korea have agreed to work to rid the peninsula of nuclear weapons after holding an historic summit."
If this holds up I'm delighted. Never thought I'd see this solved in my lifetime. Props to KJU and President Moon, Xi, and even Trump for bringing this about.

Trump has nothing to do with this and deserves no credit. If anything his involvement could impair the process.
What are you expecting, a magic wand to solve all problems in NK, the shittiest country in the world?
This is a huge step towards more dialogue, less tension, more AID into the country as well, so yes, it will bring tangible change.
Then ring your man up and tell him not to reverse Cuba being opened up because a black man did it
I disagree, US pressure did have some effect but to say none at all is hyperbole.
Not really. China has more influence on NK and are the ones that started the thawing process so far. We've just had a generic embargo for decades that did nothing, really, to sway NK one way or the other, nor did a US president set the stage for this to happen.
Good news.
Trump had fuck all to do with it. It almost reads like a pact against Trump and aggressive foreign policy to me.

Well yeah, the world who put sanctions on them all did to some degree probably but Trump in recent times, absolutely not other than passively carrying on what came before. NK having problems and China was likely what done it while SK was very receptive.
