In Japan, Secretary Tillerson Addresses North Korean Issues

Hopefully, Tillerson is here alluding to the “Anglin Plan” for North Korea, which is to tell them they’ll be left alone if they just leave everyone else alone.

No world leader has ever approach talks with North Korea with anything other than “you don’t have a right to exist as a country.”

To just go ahead and tell them we don’t care what they’re doing as long as they’re not threatening others is an extremely powerful proposal.

The escalating threat from North Korea’s nuclear program shows a clear need for a “new approach,” U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Thursday, although he did not say what the Trump administration planned.

It was the first time that Tillerson, who was speaking at a joint news conference in Tokyo after talks with Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida, had taken questions from the media since taking office in early February.

Two decades of diplomatic and other efforts, including U.S. aid for North Korea, had failed to achieve the goal of denuclearizing Pyongyang, said Tillerson, a former oil executive with no prior diplomatic experience, at the start of his first trip to Asia as secretary of state.

“So we have 20 years of failed approach,” Tillerson said. “That includes a period where the United States has provided $1.35 billion in assistance to North Korea as an encouragement to take a different pathway.”

“In the face of this ever-escalating threat, it is clear that a different approach is required. Part of the purpose of my visit to the region is to exchange views on a new approach,” he said.

A Japanese foreign ministry official said U.S. officials had discussed potential new approaches regarding North Korea, but he declined to elaborate.

As Tillerson presses the Chinese to do more to rein in North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs, he is expected to tell them the United States intends to increase missile defense in the region, despite Beijing’s strong opposition, a U.S. official told Reuters in Washington.

An advanced U.S. anti-missile system is being installed in South Korea, and the official said the Trump administration wants to discuss similar improvements with Japan.

Tillerson visits South Korea and China later in the week.

Tillerson is also likely to raise the prospects for imposing “secondary sanctions” on Chinese banks and other firms doing business with North Korea, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. It is among the options being considered in a full review of North Korea policy expected to be completed by late March or early April, the official said.

In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying repeated Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s proposal last week that North Korea should stop its nuclear and missile tests and South Korea and the United States should stop joint military drills and seek talks instead.

Bingo.

These people’s business is none of our business.

This whole “but their our allies” line has gotten us nowhere. This is only ever used as an excuse to try and drag us into foreign wars: “Estonia is our ally, South Korea is our ally, we have to have a world war” – this is stupid.

What are we getting from South Korea?

Exploding cell phones?

I actually do like Koreans but this is all their own business. Not ours.

“We welcome all parties, including the United States, to come up with their own proposals,” Hua told a daily news briefing. “As long as these proposals are conducive to ameliorating the present tense situation on the Korean peninsula and are beneficial to maintaining regional peace and stability … China will have an open attitude.

Tillerson made it clear he expected China, North Korea’s sole major ally, to do more.

“We will be having discussions with China as to further actions we believe they might consider taking that would be helpful to bringing North Korea to a different attitude about its future need for nuclear weapons,” he said.

Japan is seeking clues to Washington’s policies both on North Korea and China’s increasing military and economic clout while hoping to steer clear of trade rows.

Tillerson also held talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and had dinner with Kishida.

U.S. President Donald Trump made it a hallmark of his campaign to call on allies, including Japan, to pay more for hosting U.S. forces and other elements of American protection.

Tillerson issued a far gentler message at the conference, underscoring the “long-standing” U.S.-Japanese alliance.

The thing here is: if Trump can solve the North Korea issue, that will be a big thing they won’t be able to take away from him.

I personally believe – though it can’t be proven – that the King’s brother, Kim Jong-Nam, was killed by the CIA or some other Western intelligence agency in order to create a crisis for Trump.

But he can make lemonade out of this mess. That is within the realm of possibility. If it is played correctly.

Tillerson is an orders-follower, so he can handle this job. It needs to happen. Just get China and North Korea at the table, negotiate some version of the China deal. Stop the drills, stop arming South Korea, in exchange for an end to missile tests – but make sure to make it clear to Pyongyang that we don’t care what they’re doing in their own country and we’re not trying to destroy them.
