The pace of diplomatic activity to end the Korean crisis has intensified with a South Korean delegation delivering to US President Trump an invitation from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for a summit meeting to be held before May.
Trump appears to have accepted the invitation
The Chinese Foreign Ministry is claiming that German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel is backing China’s proposal for a ‘double-freeze’ as a route out of the Korean crisis.
That the constitutional system of the US is in deep crisis, with Congress essentially abdicating its powers to the ‘imperial President’, is starkly illustrated by the growing military stand-off between the US and North Korea.
Rumours have been circulating for days that the Trump administration is considering a pre-emptive military strike against North Korea to forestall North Korea’s latest nuclear test. There are reports that that test will be of a hydrogen bomb, and that it will take place either this weekend or soon after.
