There is a town in the United States called Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, near a spot where the states of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia meet. It offers, in addition to magnificent scenic views of the three states, carefully-preserved reminders of the history of America’s Civil War. An easy drive from the Washington, D.C. area, it’s the perfect place for a day’s outing.

*. *. *

And there is a similar spot — not in or anywhere near the United States — that brings together three countries whose mutual interests cry out for the perfect meeting place:

The nearest village is called Fangchuan, which, while located in China, is sandwiched between Russia and North Korea, and has become quite the local tourist attraction for its views of all three countries. [Laura Bicker, BBC News, November 2, 2024.]

Now, it’s well known that Russia and China are currently best buddies, in the political scheme of things. And North Korea has been cozying up to Russia by shipping an estimated 10,000 of its hapless military troops to Russia, apparently to be sent into the meat grinder that is now Ukraine to fight alongside Russia’s own. And there have been well-documented meetings between two of these countries’ leaders at a time. But when — and where — would political protocol be best served to arrange a meeting among all three: Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un?

But all three together?

And the solution? Why, at the confluence of the three countries, of course . . . especially now, since Putin can’t travel to more than a handful of countries without risking arrest under the terms of the International Criminal Court’s warrant against him for war crimes committed in Ukraine.

Awkward.

So, in order to advance Putin’s and Xi’s ambitions toward creation of a “new world order” — in which I’m quite sure Kim would be more than happy to play a major role — here’s what I recommend:

Construct a secure building at Fangchuan in which they can hold their witches’ (or warlocks’) covens; lock them safely inside; toss the key into the nearby Tumen River; and walk away. Nature will take care of the rest.

Half of the world’s political problems would thereby be solved, and we could get to work on selecting a similar spot in the Middle East to deal with the other half. That should be simple enough . . . so many of those countries are crammed right against each other’s borders.

Just sayin’ . . .
