Reuters: U.S. commander says North Korea unlikely to give up all nuclear weapons
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Weeks before a second summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the top U.S. military commander for Asia on Tuesday echoed an intelligence assessment that North Korea is unlikely to give up all its nuclear weapons.
Although he expressed optimism about the Feb. 27-28 Hanoi summit in verbal testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Admiral Philip Davidson, head of the Indo-Pacific Command, expressed doubts about North Korean intentions in his written submission to the panel.
“USINDOPACOM’s assessment on North Korean denuclearization is consistent with the Intelligence Community position. That is, we think it is unlikely that North Korea will give up all of its nuclear weapons or production capabilities, but seeks to negotiate partial denuclearization in exchange for U.S. and international concessions,” he said.

They shouldn't have too, if anything the US should give them a couple nukes. North Korea can't afford to keep troops manning their line of artillery that insures mutual destruction if attacked. North Korea doesnt want a war, but they don't want intervention either, nuclear ambitions is an investment, an investment into reducing manpower needed for security. All im saying is North Korea could be an ally against the oppressive China if USA just had the balls to trust Kim.
