This is a very surprising policy turn, does this mean reunification is off the table permanently or is it just a shift in priority?
Just talking out my butt, but I imagine a shift in priority. Every documentary I've seen of people in the DPRK they talk about their hope for reunification because so many have family on the other side. With the US ramping up shitfest levels across the globe I can see how there could be a need to shift priorities and stance towards trying to seem as big and dangerous as possible. It's not as if the western world is responding to peaceful overtures anyway.
The US is responding to prospective peace talks by forcing the ROK not to engage in them.
Yeah. Reminds me of Parenti on Reagan regarding the USSR, "He refused to take yes for an answer."
