In the meeting between North Korea and South Korea at the DMZ, South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed the Panmunjom declaration and agreed to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and seek a permanent end to the 1950s Korean war.
Similar commitments and calls for action on a peace treaty and denuclearization came in 1992, 1994, 2005, and 2010 -- so will these talks prove any different? Only time will tell.

Hey guys, Versha here! What do you think of the latest news from North and South Korea? Do you think they'll ever unify and denuclearize?
Versha Sharma eventually the entire world will unify into one world government
Versha Sharma We will unify after we slaughter the pig sitting in the throne. The Kims own everything in NK but reunification means that they are going to have to give up all they have, which I don't think they'll agreed to. The only way for unification is that Kim is overthrown in a civilian revoltuion and North Koreans surrender to the SK which of course, is very unlikely to happen since Kim does have at least half of the country to support him. This sudden change in the atmosphere is positive but this is the best they could get. It can't get any further I'm afraid.
You gained weight
do a video on how power full are youtubers
This is indeed true. But fingers crossed if this time things change for good.
You can't agree on something as big as denuclearisation in just 30 minutes.
Noah Bowie true but at any step towards it is good in my opinion
They have been negotiating since December google it.
chickenhound you're absolutely right
king selly that's great
A friend and I managed to agree on denuclearisation in 5 minutes once.
I hope for a positive outcome in Korea.
As opposed to hoping it doesn't work out? Who exactly hopes for that?
badboje chill bruh
Jatan Paliwal I'm not being aggressive or anything the comment is just really stupid lmao
This is literally such a generic comment, I didn't expect to have more than 100 likes lol
Which one?
No.
DPRK has done this before also, they use denuclearization as a weapon to ask for funds and then they don't deneuclarize.
That is true, but this is of a bigger scale, and it seems like their nuclear program is failing anyway.
If they don’t the trump administration will walk away.
IcyBlue Mink No but it has a huge crack so they can not test anymore without making China very radioactive.
Edit
Or it might have collapsed. With all the stuff going on in the US I can not keep up on anything else in the world.
David Drake wasn't it China who gave North Korea's nuclear program a boost
KA 237 you may never no what is going on in the fat rocket man's head
America: We Invaded Iraq beacuse we thought they had WMDs
America: We Destroyed Libya beacuse we thought they had WMDs
America: We can't Invade North Korea beacuse we know they have WMDs
Ahmed somalilander America doesn't care about your religion if a country isn't given them oil then that country probably has WMDs or is to dangerous
Neos Rerum Read it again I said destroyed but I know ita a Just a Joke it was foe oil
Jay Williams
U.S hated the gadaffi regime for years we just saw a opportunity to take him out in the revolution so we killed him.
Ahmed somalilander, you have to realize that a country's religion is not even a driving factor behind the United States' actions. The US is too smart to let a petty thing like religion become a factor in their decision-making process. the objective of a world power to invade those countries is very simple: they want to make sure everyone who poses a threat and unwilling to cooperate, like Saddam and Gaddafi, is exterminated. This ensures their foothold and long-term hegemony in the region.
ha ha
Here is the fact:
North Korea's current goal:
Get trust to earn resources
at least they will give up their Nuclear and more open.
South Korea > Noth Korea
Why?
Economy, Freedoms, everyone in South Korea has food, technology, and more.
TheVikas but N. Korea has a much more powerful army though
If you think South Korea has freedom, you should try making some research.
Censorship is a big deal over there.
Obviously, if we're comparing with North Korea alone, they got a lot of freedom. But so does pretty much any other country in the world. South Korea is not an example by any means.
Vinicius Silva Moraes You mean National Security Law of Korea where it forbids any form of practice related to communism that can benefit North Korea? Well, I do agree that South Korea isn't as liberal and democratic as the countries in the west, but since there's an unfinished war going on, some measures are necessary, but must not be abused as well.
FallenThunderFlash 18 Yeah, no. SK spends more than 10 times in budget for defense and NK's technology is so old and crappy, it basically uses WW2 era weapons and did not apply any modern ones due to its isolation and poor economy. Also, they have almost no air support to sufficiently drive out their opponents' in case of aerial bombings. Their only leading factor is numbers, but overall population is only half to that of SK which means that when a war breaks out, south can easily exceed in terms of masses by releasing their reserves. Not to mention most of the combatants are malnutritioned that their overall height is less than 5 feet.
I haven't entered in the topic of being a good thing or not. I just said it is there.
But now that we got into the topic: censorship is bad in any shape or form. You should be allowed to think on your own, and more often than not, is an excuse for the government or even third party countries to mold and influence the population's thinking.
I truly hope that the peace talks all turn out well. Honestly, how the world is working like right now, we desperately need positive political progress more than anything else at the moment.
I hope so...
All the best from India🇮🇳🇰🇵🇰🇷
North Korea, south korea : we have most militarised border in the world .
India , pakistan : hold our beer kids
Love you guys sm at Now This waiting for the Russian Desk on Wednesday in India
Versha and Judah are my favourite hosts
I don't know why but i'm so enthusiatic that i literally teared when Chairman Kim crossed the border but i have to be realistic with myself i have to reserve myself until it finally happen. I'm Filipino and during the forgotten war we helped the ROK but i hope that Chairman Kim is true but i'll wait and be hopeful.
Why do I get the feeling the media and RUclips channels such as this are too pessimistic about the whole Korea situation? C'mon, steps were taken! Let's celebrate! Let's smile about this for once! Let's show them how embracing we all are of true peace!! Gadfuckindammit!!
They met to celebrate the release of avengers infinity war. The korean war goes on
As long as western intervention stays out. Asian countries can peacefully settle their issues.
Major Skies America plays a huge role in this situation since the end of WW2 and creation of both Koreas. And so does China. It's really unrealistic to think that this can be solved without both countries' intervention.
Major Skies history says otherwise
Timmity3 hardly
Mac Kobalt When America didn't intervene in Asian affairs in pre-WW2, Japan began a bloody invasion through China and South East Asia. When America neglected Chinese nationalists during the civil war, communists won and brought a devastating affects to China and to the world. America must intervene in several issues before calamity happens. It's so dumb to say that all will go well withouth them.
paul han the nationalists were worse than the communists. The Chinese people chose communism.
"A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought."
- Ronald Wilson Reagan
you guys do a great job! so interesting and so educational and it takes only couple minutes!
What ever the result is I hope Kim jong un is outta power.
I no longer want him dead but instead I want him to no longer have influence with the Koreans in general.
Peace must be made by peace not war.
If Kim Jong Un is serious about denuclearization and making peace with South Korea, then he knows himself that he has a LONG ladder to climb in order for that to happen.
1:35 anyone notice that lady straightening his chair?
Inter-Korean summit took place in 2000 and 2007- similar issues and conditions on table, and agreed. See what has been happening since 2007 until now.
It is an welcoming news yet people in South Korea are seeing this with skepticism. Let's just hope NK under Kim Jong-un Leadership
to not repeat history.
if Trump stays away then yes
What are you talking about? Thanks to Trumps pressure towards North Korea, we now finally have peace talks.
Niko0902
you are kidding right? Do you mean the economic sanctions that lasted since the 90s? or Trump's Tweets? Not to mention both those things didn't really contribute to the peace talks that's happening now.
Plus, nothing real has come to fruition, so we'd have to see what will happen. But don't worry, whatever happens, it doesn't reflect much on Trump's ability in any significant way.
(Edit: unless he does does actually do something significant about it in the future of course.)
"It's President Trump who should receive the Nobel Prize." - South Korean President Moon Jae-in
YouthInEyesAsian he also said as long as Korea gets peace, he doesn't care who gets what prize. And mentions he could have it since he likes being centre of attention. But ok.
If this agreement happens, the north korean people will favor everything about south korea (government, culture, FOOD) more and eventually Kim will lose his power, he won't let that happen.
It's still never happened.
Let's hope that everything goes well
North Korea agreed to denuclearize because they already achieved what they already aim for. .-.
You are great man and leader kim jung un ...the whole world will salute you .and will always remember you if you will stand on your own ...not with chinese not with russia not with iran Specialy NOT WITH US....but with your Brother south KOREA.....i salute And LONG LIVE
I'm from the future and I could tell you it did not go well. North still has nukes and South still has America.
THX FOR SUBTITLE
Mark my words, if the koreas denuclearize, then the middle east will nuclearize
If the leaders buy each other some nice food, then they’ll probably denuclearize pretty quickly. Let’s be honest here.
t=2.32 ‘su*pr*eme leader of North Korea ’ t=2.33 ‘su*rp*eme leader of North Korea ’
Looks like varsha sharma is covering most of the topics
Why denuclearize? Cant anybody realize this is whats keeping it safe in the first place
It's in the history of the world a country which gained nuclear power never denuclearize itself even US wasn't able to do that they just agreed to use them properly North Korea will do the same
안녕하세요 Hello
전 한국사람입니다 I'm South korean person.
대한민국은 지금 북한과 전 세계가 한반도 평화를 위해 최선을 다한다고 생각합니다.
South Korea now believes that North Korea and the world are committed to peace on the Korean Peninsula.
저희 한국은 꼭 북한과 통일될것입니다 한국이 평화를 지지한다는 점 믿어주십시오
We will surely be unified with North Korea. Please believe that South Korea supports peace.
Just another thing that doesn't make sense, in how quick everything has changed so much, which means that to make sense there are further reasons we don't know about
this is constructivism people 😉 we think that it is what it is
All I can say is, time will tell and nothing is a guarantee yet. Let’s wait and hope for the best! However, we should not be too happy too soon or else we would get disappointed. Hope that we can all be at peace.
My boy Kim will fire back like never before
Do note that: Only the US and their allies can be armed with nuclear weapons and technologies.
(?)
Man these videos helping me a lot to improve my world politics concepts.
Versha u r really a good orator
While not atypical in the sense that N. Korea feigns peace for foreign aid, I think N. Korea is pursuing something more this time. Like the video said, this could be an attempt to put a wedge between S. Korea and its allies. Additionally, now that the North has a potential ICBM that could target the US, it's gained leverage and time for itself. It's own existence is nearly guaranteed so it's trying to expand its influence. The timing with the Winter Olympics and this summit indicates N. Korea wants more than just foreign aid. That's probably why it "feels" different.
Oh wow. They planted a unity pine tree together. Now that is peace.
To forgot to mention how this is also due to Trumps credible military threat to North Korea.
Best outcome: peace.
Worst outcome: world war 3
I hope korea never unifies because by this point the two koreas have totally different cultures. I just hope they become allies or something
Can you please make a video about the Balkans and more specifically FYROM and the name dispute with Greece?
A step in the right direction, without doubt
Boy didn’t know I’d live to see this.
Were on the brink of nuclear war people complain. Were on the brink of peace people complain.
Its a lie, a deception, and a trap
Very interesting great video
I love peace
N.Korea has no other choice but to cooperate due to their economic issues. Whoever Kim Jong Un's advisors sure have the balls to tell him. Of course there are the human rights issues in N.Korea but let's take one step at a time. Also what will happen now with the N.Korean's who will be exposed to the prosperity of their neighbors?
That is the first time I've heard Kim Jong-Un talk and his voice surprised me immensely
Wait, hold on. Is this the first time hearing Un talk for anyone else!? He really sounds nothing like I expected him to...
Kim Jong Un wants K-Pop.
this seems like the middle school honors essay version of this topic to be honest. Like you strung together different recent current events and found random quotes or facts to fill a 5 minute video because you don't actually have a truly educated understanding of what is involved or has gone on to lead up to this event. Like you skimmed sources kinda thing.
Dude, don’t be naive. That’s not going to happen. Rocketman KIM will never give up his nukes.
So no credit to Trump for putting the pressure that made this peace?
We can thank Mr. Trump for this, finally a president with the guts to stand against dictators
pause the video and go to 0:00
Hey guys what do you think of America cancelling peace talks yet again June 2018
How stupid is that a whole nation fight each other and being split for so many years based on politics?And all that in favor of outside powers...
I really hope North & South really get into an agreement and reunite on their own, not by external politics because that way im pretty sure they will end up split again eventually.
Oti Na Nai The root of the division was the external forces such as America and Russia, but the main cause that led the split for so many years with hatred was both governments. They both fueled hate and resentment towards each other by propagandas. North Korea called South a dog of American imperialism, and South called their counterparts commies, proxy state of China and Russia and so on. Both social and emotional gap between the two people now is too deep and wide that it's best to not reunify for certain period of time before all of these go down.
paul han This happened to many countries in the whole world, even in my country (Greece-the first civil war in cold war) people have hate for one party or the other because of the atrocities that took place, thats my point how many innocent lives got lost for a stupid "contest" between USSR and USA? Whenever one of em wanted to expand its power BOOM there goes a civil war.
At last, i think neither side would mind unifying, after all, many people have relatives on the other side and they cant even visit them as it is today. And in the end, they are the same nation. As long as they understand why the split happened in the first place im positive they would leave the past behind and focus in a prosperous and peaceful future for the korean peninsula
Oti Na Nai Well, the problem is that those kinds of issues are closely related to politics. Many politicians in SK use anti-communist rhetoric to bring in more votes from the people and provoke nationalism by emphasizing their glorious struggles against the communist monsters. Whenever someone points out that harsh stance against the north isn't always the answer, they immediately call that person a pro-North and even a spy to infiltrate in South Korea. The fact is people are gullible enough to buy all of their rhetoric so we still have a mountain to climb and that is saying something when you didn't include North Korea in this instance.
+ So coincident that you are a greek. Recently I read a book about comparison of Greek Civil War and Korean War where atrocities were committed on both sides and how hatred derived from it still lingers in the names of idealogies. It is such a brutal and foolish history that people slaughtered each other for thoughts that they can't even see or touch and how everyone believes that was a right thing to do still.
paul han Most people to be honest didnt even know we had a civil war, everyone knows bout Korea and Vietnam but ours was just as chaotic with napalms, massacres etc.
Also ive found a lot of sources that i seriously dont know what to trust any more but many claim that the civil war costed more lives than we lost in the WW2. Thats crazy considering Greece and Poland had the most casualties analogical to their population
Hey, are you going to do a video about the protests in Armenia?
I love his smile
I hope that this issue will be solved peacefully. This is possible, unless the USA interfere
Last I checked SK didn't have nuclear weapons?
i hope not
why?? are you from Beneficiaries of the war 😉
no, i just think the DPRK deserve to have nukes. im not a neocon.
One month later the NK side of the tree has parasites and is trying to get into SK side.
Promptly shot and it's saplings pulled from the ground as a message to the other trees.
Its too hard be that.
South Korea does not have nukes! So, back up and do this again!
Why does Korea have to lose their nukes? That doesn't seem fair.
9,920,318,002 Views they're bunch of idiots kim jong un is one of them
Well if you really want to get technical India, Pakistan, and Israel shouldn't be in control of nukes either. That right belongs to the US, Russia, China, Britain, and France (all 5 of which should be in the process of dismantling their own nuclear stockpile)
Diplomacy is a complex dance at the best of times. Kinda hoped our dancer would be a bit more nimble, have better dancing coaches, and attended recitals in the last couple months as North Korea lead this dance.
This video is arguably obscure the reality of the international relationships of North Korea. I really do not understand why the video omitted the facts that such "peace" negotiations took place 10 and 15 years ago. The only difference from the past is the change of the leader, who apparently resemble not only the superficial looks of the predecessors but also the political acts he previously had done. Will this be different from the political fiasco happened in the pasts? I do not know. But I can argue that history usually repeats itself.
Nah.... I want a war....
The most horrible war ever
I'm pondering upon the future of stable, denuclearize Korean peninsular. Will the past atrocities of NK will be forgiven and forgotten if let say they agreed to reunified as a single country? Or will they just stay as two separate and peaceful neighbouring country? In my opinion, as long as the Kim's dynasty stay as ruling gov in NK, a truly peaceful Korean peninsular will never be achieved as NK's people will always try to migrate to SK for its economic prosperity. Only a political revolution that end NK's current regime will bring a meaningful stability in the region for the long term.
The two path of the Koreas will become one soon. In my opinion I really think Kim Jong Un doesnt want wars anymore, he is really sincere. When I saw his face (watching at the Inter Korean Summit coverage), he's a smily person, he doesnt like a dictator. But well, the dark (negative) side is always there. I am just worried if the Korean Unification occurs, who will be their president? Is it from the North side? or the South side?? it's still a political problem. And not just about that, what if Kim Jong Un has a plans on continuing the nuclearization when the reunification is now there? What if Kim Jong Un is just making South Korea to use it's military power, technology, etc.? There are so many tickling questions in my head.
Short answer 'no'
it would be really nice if they ended this WAR.
Peace!?!?!?!? call the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liberitie for all freedom like if you agree
u gotta change 2:25 and 2:26 (why korea hate japan) Korean just died as salves who said thank for japanese imperialism. Even economic or all of matters how korean make a successful thier country not include the effects of japanese imperial factories or basement of industy what u said. All Korean companies dead at that time and poeple moved out their territory forcibly so korean work slaves make SONY TOYOTA AND ALL JAPANESE COMPANIES HAVE FOUNDED SINCE THAT TIME. Moreover korean was devastating dead country ever because they can use korean name and speak korean even korean not allowed to live as living being in their territory. you dont know what exactly reasons about that korean hate japan, ur guys deserve to make this video. Nah If u wanna get more viewers, dont touch korea history way of distorted that is only expressed by Japan Imperialism not included korean history
With this move I’m starting to see trump as more unstable than Kim
Because at least Kim is acting diplomatic to some degree
I’d love it if we could de-escalate the situation with North Korea in any fashion
When will Versha throw away the chip on her shoulder?
yes
You should really change the title of your video. Only North Korea can denuclearize because the South doesn't have nukes
If only they could See Into the future
Well this did not age well
I think south korea should just keep their nukes
that was america & russia fault
is that Kim's voice , whoa i didn't expect that
Who else knows north korea strategy here?
North and South Korea will go for a basic treaty!
Nuclear weapons are the best insurances. Why would you drop your insurance policy when you are likely to die any seconds?
Kim Be Nimble, Kim be quick, Kim -start- don't start nuclear apocalypse...
Kim definitely won't denuclearise but let's hope at least a peace deal between North and South Korea is reached and the people of North Korea freed. let's also hope Trump know how to navigate the situation
Trump did have a good part in this, think we should give him credit for North Korea wanting peace talks.
Wake me up when they permit IAEA weapons inspectors and international transparency. Until then it's just talk.
Yay! New video
