What makes you think the “boot” is off?

Our war games were not the boot. Our three carrier fleets in the area, and a “possible” disruption of his nuclear production facility are all still on the table.

Trust but verify. The cards do not suddenly cease to exist.

But Kim did destroy parts of the facility, blew them up on national TV. Gave us back some of our citizens. These are not empty promises.

I was watching streaming TV from Singapore last night. They had a reporter at the China/NK border - a bridge. She commented that before the increase in sanctions, that there was a line at that bridge of Chinese goods going into NK. They even made it sound like there might be a “guest worker” program where NK people were crossing the bridge in order to work in China.

Anyway, after the tightening of sanctions, the traffic across the bridge became a trickle.

I think that is what finally got his attention that we meant business, this time.

But, they had a “British” intellect on talking about how Kim always does this and reneges, but he got what he wanted. And how he will never give up his nukes.

We will see.
