Ralph Peters: When N. Korea Says It’s a Pipe Dream They Will Give Up Their Nukes It’s the One Time They’re Being Honest

EXCERPT:

PETERS: "Indeed. When North Koreans say it’s a pipe dream for anyone to think they would give up their nukes, that is one time the regime is being honest. North Korea is suffering from this horrific degenerative disease of state. The people are malnourished and even starving, they're literally diseased. The economy is almost non-existent. The vaunted North Korean ground forces are rotting away. We see increased defections by distinctly unhealthy so-called elite troops. North Korean regime and Kim Jong-un have bet everything on one hand of poker. And that one hand is their intertwined nuclear and strategic missile programs."
