The talks between #NorthKorea and South Korea represent no chance for a breakthrough. The entire purpose for the North Koreans is a propaganda campaign.— John Bolton (@AmbJohnBolton) January 9, 2018
It is true to say that certain people, such as Bolton, will always be naysayers wrt attempts to make peace. However, it is worth remembering that the 1936 Berlin Olympics were used by the Nazis to show themselves to be a country of "peace" and to further propagandise the myth of the "Triumph of The Will".WSJ editorial board: "Talks between N. and S. Korea…have handed Kim Jong Un a propaganda victory…The talks and the 'Olympic truce' allow the young dictator to pose as a man of peace, even as he threatens to annihilate his enemies with nuclear weapons."https://t.co/xvSYVk3knY— Jonathan Cheng (@JChengWSJ) January 10, 2018
