    Sue Mi Terry “Now is not the time to lift sanctions, either. Now, in fact, is the time to double down. If Biden wants to prevent North Korea from acting out, he needs to first provide the government with new incentives to talk-and that means new restrictions Washington can use as carrots. Biden, in other words, needs to take North Korean policy off autopilot and launch a proactive effort to deter Pyongyang. Otherwise, he risks encouraging an already emboldened Kim to stage a major provocation.” 7 hours ago
  • Christopher Cavoli
    Christopher Cavoli “Russians don't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. More to the point, they don't have the skill and capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that.” 8 hours ago

South Korea - North Korea end-of-war declaration - Considerations

Page with all the IPSEs stored in the archive related to the Context South Korea - North Korea end-of-war declaration - Considerations.
The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“For the US, a joint declaration is acceptable if it is going to lead to meaningful and substantial progress with regards to North Korea's denuclearisation. But this declaration is not really closely connected with making progress on that front. And for North Korea, agreeing upon a joint declaration must lead to some substantial benefits. What North Korea wants the most is sanctions relief. But that is not something that the South Korean government can decide. So, unless there are guaranteed benefits, the North Korean government will not find that proposal attractive. This has been a long shot, a very long shot from the beginning.”

“The missile was showcased during the North's military exhibition on Oct. 11, and the regime launched it soon after the showcase. Though the North fired a tactical weapon this time, it also showed a missile assumed to be an ICBM [intercontinental ballistic missile]. This means that the North is asserting that it may test an ICBM, spoiling the current move for a declaration to officially end the Korean War, unless the U.S. or South Korea agrees to its demands. If the North tests an ICBM, the U.S. will see it as the regime crossing a red line. Given this, Pyongyang appears to be escalating the tension to just below that level to maximize its leverage in talks.”

“Special Representative Noh [Noh Kyu-duk] and I also discussed the end of war proposal, and I look forward to continuing those discussions and other issues of mutual concern when I'm in Seoul later this week. The U.S. continues to reach out to Pyongyang to restart dialogue. Our intent remains the same. We harbor no hostile intent toward the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] and we are open to meeting without preconditions.”

“I think that it is one of the issues under discussion among the parties involved in the North Korea issue. The Moon government is openly pressing for an end of war declaration, including the President himself and the ministers of foreign affairs and unification. And it would be an important political move if it happens. North Korea has realized that it has to address U.S.-North Korea and inter-Korean relations in parallel now that Biden is U.S. president. It has also realized that it has to address political relations with the U.S., inter-Korean reconciliation, nuclear issues and possible economic assistance in parallel. This wasn't the case during the Trump years, but it is under Biden.”

“I expect more in-depth discussions on various issues at the working level, including the end-of-war declaration. The declaration is meaningful as a gateway to talks for complete denuclearization and lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula.”
