N. Korea just held a military parade where they didn't display nuclear weapons for the first time in years. The reality is Trump and Kim are taking steps to bring N. Korea into the modern world. It won't happen overnight, but real progress has been made and Trump does deserve credit for that.
- rswail 8y agoThe reality is that NK has played Trump by fluffing his ego. By making non-committal "desires" and by a few publicity stunts (eg exchanging family visits, done previously), NK has managed to a) defuse the tensions raised by their nuclear developments, b) continue to develop and hold their now nuclear-nation position, c) put the US administration in the position of having to "lose face" when negotiations fail, and d) now have "equal nation" status with the US in negotiations, completely defanging the 6 nation approach that has been the US policy for containment of NK.
