JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Washington - U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said on Wednesday he was open to new alterations in U.S. military activity on the Korean Peninsula if it helped enable diplomats, who are trying to jump-start stalled peace efforts with North Korea.
Tensions are growing on the peninsula ahead of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s year-end deadline for Washington to show more flexibility in denuclearization talks. “I think we have to be open to all those things that empower and enable our diplomats to sit down with the North Koreans, alongside with our South Korean partners, and move the ball forward to a negotiated settlement of the issues that we put on the table,” Esper said, declining to detail what specific kinds of options he might consider.
Asked if Washington was requesting a fivefold increase, Esper declined to comment but acknowledged the request was significant.
How about this? Fuck NK and Trumps love affair with their dictator! Do the joint ops as usual and if they want to talk, we do it from a position of strength rather than placating the egos of two maniacal leaders
