I don't think NK really appreciates the insanity they're dealing with and I'm legit concerned they're gonna get too cute/petty like they've always done in these situations and the dotard in chief is gonna lose his shit and were fucked.
Things were safer back when Trump would occasionally stop obsessing about Mueller long enough to send a tweet making fun of Kim's dick. Everyone would sorta freak out but then Trump would inevitably get distracted by a Laura Ingram segment about Mexican rapist pillagers and then he'd forget about NK. We coulda done that as the status quo for the next couple years and been totally safe. But now...
Or a meaningful channel for dialog with a rogue nation thats (in theory) willing to trade its biological weapons program, nuclear program, ongoing terror campaign in South Korea, and prolific involvement in global crime (including being the #1 exporter of counterfeit US currency) for legitimacy and an alleviation of sanctions has been established.
The thing youre missing is that the DPRK has no more money and no more credit to leverage. UN sanctions since 2006 worked. So now we have this 'summit' so DPRK can basically fold its hand with dignity and become yet another puppet democracy.
We both know nothing meaningful is going to happen but what youre forgetting (imo) is that Trump is never going to do a single fucking thing when DPRK blows off their commitments (they didnt make because they literally made none) or whatever because then Trump has to admit that he's not a 'master negotiator' and 'very smart person' and for a narcissist, thats unimaginable.
I expect we will see an actual end of the war between north and south followed by a normalization of the border to the south and the opening of something of a mineral silk road for magnesite, tungsten, iron, and zinc flowing out from DPRK to China and Russia.
