Options for Denuclearising the Korean Peninsula

NOVANEWS By Morton Halperin, Peter Hayes, and Leon Sigal Global Research   A critically important part of assembling the Korean peninsula-wide denuclearization jigsaw puzzle is the institutional and legal form of North Korean commitments on the one hand, and the nuclear negative security assurances by the NPT-Nuclear Weapons States (NWSs), especially the United States, on the other. Given the risk of mutual annihilation between the two Koreas as well as to third parties such as the United States, Japan, and China, finding a way to square this circle is urgent. The Nautilus Institute has published a special report ‘A Korean nuclear weapons-free zone treaty and nuclear extended deterrence: options for denuclearising the Korean Peninsula, A Korean Nuclear Weapons-Free Zone Treaty a...

The U.S. Government Is the Problem in Korea

NOVANEWS By Jacob G. Hornberger | FFF  There are differing opinions regarding President Trump’s decision to meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un in an attempt to resolve the ongoing crisis in Korea. Some people are happy that the two rulers are meeting because of the possibility that it will result in a peaceful resolution of a crisis that has gotten precariously close to breaking out into renewed warfare. What’s wrong with talking? this group says. Others are saying that Trump acted too impulsively in accepting the invitation, arguing that summits should be held only after lower-echelon bureaucrats have determined that such a meeting is likely to result in positive developments. These people are suggesting, perhaps accurately, that if the talks fail to arrive at a solution, the s...

US Wants Inter-Korean Thaw Undermined

NOVANEWS By Stephen Lendman Global Research Featured image: Kim Jong-nam   Washington has been hostile toward North Korea throughout the entire post-WW II era because of its sovereign independence – not for any threat the country poses. The DPRK never attacked another nation throughout its entire history, threatening none now. Unless provoked to believe its security is gravely threatened, there’s isn’t the remotest possibility it would attack another country. If Washington and the West had normalized relations with Pyongyang, respecting its sovereignty, its leadership never would have pursued the development of nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missiles. They’re solely for defense against a genuine threat posed by Washington, not for preemptive war against any nation....

Washington Threatens North-South Korea Dialogue. Demilitarization is a Prerequisite to Peace Negotiations 'Video'

NOVANEWS Interview with Michel Chossudovsky By Prof Michel Chossudovsky and Michael Welch Global Research   Well the 2018 Olympics are over. Much of the media took note of the two Koreas competing as a united team; meanwhile U.S. belligerence continued unabated as witnessed by Vice President Mike Pence’s less-than-diplomatic gestures during the games. There seem to have been significant diplomatic breakthroughs during this period between the two Koreas, with the north-south talks seeming to place South Korea at odds with both the U.S and Japan. What are the prospects for peace on the Korean Peninsula in the face of these events? Joining us to discuss this question is  Professor Michel Chossudovsky, an award winning author, Professor of Economics Emeritus at the University of Otta...

Activist: Time to ‘Formally End the Korean War’ After 65 Years of Armistice

NOVANEWS The brief respite on the Korean Peninsula seems fated to end with the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang after North Korean leaders canceled a planned secret meeting with US Vice President Mike Pence.
