Maybe by "our allies", he means "Saudi Arabia"?

Tucker should be fired for that comment. 

 

It’s appalling on its own merits to excuse a murderous dictator but it’s even worse within the context of him greasing the wheels and desensitizing it to his viewers that some strong men leaders just have to kill a few dissident citizens here and there.

He's prepping his viewers for when it starts happening over here.

Second, politically, a treaty has all sorts of domestic ramifications in South Korea, which the government of President Moon Jae-in has yet to tackle. This is likely why the Moon government abandoned its 2018 push for a treaty and fell back to a vaguer “peace regime,” and then to an even vaguer “war-ending declaration.” The legal weight of these two alternate concepts is unclear.

 

One obvious political hurdle is the implacable opposition of the South Korean Right to détente with North Korea. I have mentioned this issue in the past. The Moon government has run its North Korea outreach with little effort to recruit center-right opinion. But Moon only won the presidency with 41 percent of the vote. Without some conservative acceptance of a peace treaty, there is a fair chance that the next time the South Korean right wins the presidency, it will undo the treaty. In fact, this is a threat to the entire Moon program on North Korea, and it has happened before. From 1998 to 2008, the South Korean Left, holding the presidency, pursued a “Sunshine Policy” with North Korea. The domestic Right was not brought into that effort, and on the return of a conservative to the South Korean presidency in 2008, that conservative president, Lee Myung-bak, rolled back the Sunshine Policy. This could happen again to Moon.

The other big political problem with a treaty is the constitution of South Korea, which denies the existence of North Korea and claims sovereignty over the entire peninsula. A treaty would suggest, at least by implication, mutual recognition of the two Koreas by each other. It is not entirely clear how big this hurdle could be. I have spoken to this point at several conferences here in South Korea and have heard mixed responses. Some people seem to think that may be a way to legally kludge around the constitution. Others have suggested that Moon would have to change the constitution to pursue a formal treaty; hence, the idea of a “peace regime” or a “war-ending declaration” is the path of least political resistance.

Why are we still involved with NK at all?  South Korea and China have shut the door on any meaningful threat that could hold them accountable.  NK have nuclear weapons already.  Sanctions aren't going to take food of their ruling classes table and they don't care about their peasant class at all.  The US needs to find a way to extract themselves entirely from this situation because unless something drastically changes, there are no achievable goals left that are worth the trouble.

Somebody (some country) has got to be feeding that little twit a lot of technology.  We're talking about a country that can't keep the electricity n in their capital city all night long.  (At least I remember reading that, 10-20 years ago.)  

 

And I sure don't see China doing it.  Moron's probably their biggest threat, right now.  Russia, I could see doing it.
