360 feet, huh? Wow, yeah, that sure is deep... Oh, huh, look what we were working on 10 years ago.
Wonder what we're up to, now.

wouldn't it just be easier to negotiate an end to the stupid war??? AND .... what the heck was the the US doing taking the side of nutty, authoritarian Japan invaders back then?? Japan was the criminal actor invading Korea and behaving barbarically to Koreans. It was Japan who 'gave' Korea the idea of the cult-following status of a dictator. Koreans wouldn't have turned to Russia is we had helped expell Japan from there.
The tunnels and burrowing in NK is because the US carpet bombed them so much and never did 'win' the war. They just need to go to the table and haer out a deal. The US won't participate in any direct talks still after all these years. I think they like keeping no-peace-in-Korea situation so they can sell a lot of weapons.

Meh. They 'won' because we were all 'holiday truce?' and they said 'sure!' and then they had a laugh as they made a huge push south to land grab as much territory as possible to force a stalemate because we were SLOWLY but surely winning.
We have talked, in the past. It comes down to the same thing. 'ugh, yeah, sure, we'll stop our nuke program in exchange for less sanctions...psych! Whatcha gonna do, world?!'
Also the same reason a lasting peace hasn't been achieved. They can't be trusted to keep their word.
I'm not going to harp on your Japanese point because you're not wrong, but you're not exactly correct if you get my drift.
