Re: meeting w/ N Korea and US history

[grumpyduck]

I need to look this up again, but there are stories about foreign powers approaching the US about disarmament and the US basically refusing to go there. Not saying I think NK is serious about this (I tend to agree it's some kind of con), but I seem to remember several countries during and since WWII attempting to negotiate some kind of disarmament. But that would mean potentially reducing the production of weapons and that would be bad for weapons makers.

There were several references to this on a series I caught on Netflix recently: Oliver Stone's Untold History of the US. But maybe a trip to the library is in order now.
