Kim Jong-un blew up — both literally and figuratively — any remaining hope for a diplomatic resolution. natsecHeather writes

North Korea’s Kim Jong-un wants to signal to his counterparts in Seoul and Washington that he will blow up what’s left of their relationships unless his regime receives more concessions, so … he has literally blown up the liaison office, built and paid for by South Korea, that sat in the demilitarized zone between the two Koreas.
South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in was elected in 2017 promising to seek improved relations with the North. He hoped that President Trump’s peace initiative-by-photo-op would turn into a sustained process that would allow the South to relax some sanctions and stabilize the North’s weak economy. In retrospect, all the practices of the present U.S. administration so far are nothing but accumulating its political achievements.Never again will we provide the U.S. chief executive with another package to be used for achievements without receiving any returns.Our Supreme Leadership… solemnly declared on further bolstering the national nuclear war deterrent to cope with the U.S. unabated threats of nuclear war.
