North and South Korea vow to end Korean War:
https://www.cnn.com/asia/live-news/north-korea-south-korea-summit-intl/index.html
1. The Korean War has never ended. It is an armistice (cease fire) signed between UN (read as USA) and North Korea.
2. When Kim-II was alive, there was an agreement to stop nuclear bomb development in exchange for food and supplies. USA did not live up to its promise, then placed the blame when NK retaliated by re-activating its nuclear ambitions/capabilities.
Mind you, USA being the international liar, did this all the time! Anyway, the previous agreements fell apart as a result and USA blamed only NK without even looking at its own shortcomings.
3. When NK succeeded in testing long range missiles and nuclear bomb in the past year, USA introduced more sanctions + installing THADD on SK, which irked both China and Russia.
4. When China turned the screw on restricting food and energy supplies to NK, PLUS Donald Trump's desire to use military force to eliminate Kim-III, who knew he had nowhere to go but to change course.
5. First of all, an official visit to Beijing, followed by a visit to DMZ to meet Moon of SK.
6. The result was an announcement a short while ago, by both Kim-III and Moon to end hostility.
This is a historical event and will have far-reaching influence on international affairs.
1. This could lead to unification. USA cannot say "no" because it is a domestic affair and USA will have no say.
2. If N & SK are unified, the only remaining unification is China and Taiwan.
3. USA will have no more excuse to keep THADD in SK. USA will be relunctant, but ultimately might have no choice if an unified Korea doesn't want THADD on its soil.
4. Japan will be very uneasy. Japan is the last country to see a unified Korea, mind you, an unified China is coming too!
I will give you more of my thoughts. Meantime, all comments /views are welcome."
When Korea is unified without USA's intervention/playing any part, USA's attempt to contain China is almost broken.
When China is unified (my guess is no more than 20 years, may be even less than 10 years), USA's Pacific strategy is completely finished, and China will be on its way to reclaim its past glory!
