Haven't seen this article on Sott yet, so decided to post it here, it sounds important.
Demonized for so many years by the MSM, North Korea speaks of possible reunion with the South Korea in a form of confederation. Two thought re this outstanding news:
1) Western warmongers are so busy now with bombing Syria and trolling Russia, that they've missed the reduced tensions between the two Koreas and allowed some peace to break out there?
2) North Korea: is it really as cruel as described?
The news is only covered by the WSJ by now, couldn't find any other versions in English yet, but we can read between the lines:
A most remarkable suggestion, isn't it?

North Korea's Foreign Minister Ri Su Yong said Saturday a reduction in tensions on the Korean peninsula is important but warned his government doesn't see its nuclear program as a "bargaining chip."
...
Mr. Ri said the Korean peninsula had gone to "the brink" of war last year and he repeatedly lambasted large-scale military exercises by the U.S. and South Korea, which he claimed could lead to a "surprise attack" on Pyongyang. The military exercises are carried out annually.
The foreign minister attacked Washington's "hostile" policy toward North Korea and at one point mocked Seoul for having "relinquished its military prerogatives" to the U.S. He said South Korea should stop "prattling on and dreaming about" unrealistic proposals for reunification of the Korean peninsula, saying the only plan that can work is a confederation where the North Korean regime and Seoul government coexist.
...
Mr. Ri described North Korea's nuclear program as an "inevitable" reaction to the "nuclear threat and stifling strategy" pursued by the U.S. against his country.
"The nuclear deterrent of the DPRK is not intended to threaten or attack others, neither is it a bargaining chip to be exchanged for something else," he said, using the acronym by which North Korea refers to itself. "The nuclear issue will be resolved if and when the threat to our sovereignty and right to life is removed in substance with the termination of the U.S. hostile policy."
A most remarkable suggestion, isn't it?
