Joseph Cirincione Calls for Reduction in USFK Military Exercises In Exchange for Freeze Deal with North Korea

Here is another example of the “expert class” advocating for more negotiations with North Korea in order to sign a freeze deal:

Joseph Cirincione

That leaves “the least of the bad options,” which means calling for negotiations, as Mark Fitzpatrick, executive director of the International Institute for Strategic Studies in America, has said. Talks could be started to explore “a variation on China’s proposal, backed by Russia, that the United States and the Republic of Korea suspend joint military exercises in exchange for North Korean suspension of nuclear and missile tests,” he says. South Korea and Japan back this idea, as do many former officials including former Secretary of Defense Bill Perry. A Council on Foreign Relations Task Force on Korea that included former Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen and Senator Sam Nunn, recommended such an approach last year.

“Rather than halting joint exercises, they could be reduced in scale and length or moved, if military professionals judge that this can be done without undermining their readiness purpose or the affirmation of U.S. deterrence commitments that they represent,” says Fitzpatrick. “Drills practicing ‘decapitation’ might be omitted, for example, as well as overflights by nuclear-capable aircraft, which are only for show. Scaling back the exercises in other ways could be tied to military confidence-building measures that might also relieve North Korea of some of the expense of conducting large-scale exercises.”  [Defense One]

You can read more at the link, but if a freeze deal is struck the next thing you will here from the expert class is to have the US sign a peace treaty with North Korea.  This whole approach plays into the slow motion surrender of South Korea to North Korean hegemony and the end of the US-ROK alliance. Is it any wonder why China and Russia continue to enable the Kim regime?

Now this is what I am been talking about a “EDUCATED FOOL”,Joseph Cirincione here.” Do anyone think for one minute in their right mind, that North Korea Is going to give up any weapons of any kind, after what happened to a some other countries; Iraq Saddam Hussein, Libya Colonel Muammar Gaddafi,

Tibet the 14th Dalai Lama will be the last of his kind, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria. All of these countries I’ll mentioned has been invaded by super powers or their ALLIEDS. So what small country with the mean to do so would not act with thought for the future? (prudence) which Is a intelligent act, by a responsible person. If the countries I mentioned above had NUKES, those leaders would be still around.

I will bet my bottom dollar North Korea leaders will be around as long as anyone of us reading this RANT. So if you are a leader of a country, it would be wise to get you a Nukes program just like North Korea, because they guaranteed the leaders a good night rest; knock knock, who’s there? takeover your country WARLORD.

But I got NUKEs, ok By, sorry. The gods must be laughing their asses off at us pathetic little humen. ops! THERE IS NO GOD, WE ARE ALL ALONG ON THIS EARTH, AT THE MERCY OF OTHER MEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE NUKES. Silly humen.
