North Korea
I think it's clear that the best will be for NK to abandon nuclear program in exchange for unbreakable security guarantees (how? like unarmed peacekeepers? Rus/Chi?), + lifting sanctions and normalization of relations overall. But, US diplomacy was not successful and there is no indication that there is something which may change that, standalone. That could be a (much stronger) push by Russia - but state of relations stay bad, and poisoned -or China, which is already at the end of what it is likely to do. That leaves a choice between letting it be or going ahead, and it is a hard choice, but going ahead is not excluded, and it is not excluded from public pronouncements-actually aimed to find a peaceful solution. --10:06, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
