When it Comes to North Korea, No News is Good News

It is December 2016 and all is quiet in the DPRK. No rockets, no nukes, no shelling of the South, and no threats. Maybe it is because the instability in the ROK is so unprecedented and no one is sure how things will develop in the post-Park era. Add to this the uncertainty around the world, not just in the DPRK, as to what Donald Trump will do once he is in the seat of power. We already have some indication that Trump with be tough on China, but how will he deal with the DPRK? It is still a mystery, and Trump himself is a mystery. So maybe the Supreme Leader, KJU is taking a “wait and see” attitude. Or…maybe he is planning something to rattle everyone. Will it be a quiet New Years’ holiday, or will the pot boil over in the DPRK? Please log in and give us your thoughts.
