As the US loses credibility in the world, and as its economic clout dissolves, the real threat is that it will start new wars rather than accept diminished power. Kim's best option is probably to wave a big stick and otherwise do nothing -- as the petrodollar continues to dissolve, as Russia and China continue to gain popularity in Africa and Asia, and as the BRICS nations grow, US hegemony will fade away. Then peaceful resolutions will be more possible.
So the US is the villain in the world that started all of the wars and is responsible for every genocide while North Korea, China, and Russia are all trying to create peace. That is some textbook Vatnik propaganda.
The problem in Korea is dictators for life. The start of the Korean War had nothing to do with the US, but when dictator Kim ordered his army to invade the South. They soon took almost the entire peninsula, but the U.S. and the UN pushed back almost to the Chinese border. The US war operation in Korea was a great success.
Also, NK dictators are cruel to their own people (forced labor, starvation, eradication of journalism and art) and that is why nobody wants to live under a dictator be it Kim, Putin, or Xi.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
