No, we don’t know what his intentions are, but that aside, as I understand it the meeting/s are without pre-conditions which is probably wise.
Scott Adams had a periscope or blog article a while back discussing the NK/SK issue and suggested that there be a 100 year plan for reunification. Sounds plausible as no one today needs to get their panties in a wad as the timeline is so far out, but it does show a road to eventual peace and prosperity. It was an interesting idea as far as ideas go.
We here in the US are under no illusion about NK. I am sure that one of POTUSVSG bargining chips will be a peace treaty to replace the current armistice. That would be a forward and good thing. Declare peace and move on to other things. As to what happens to US presence in SK after that I do not know.
We assume NK has nuclear weapons and probably the means to deliver them. That is an issue that needs to be dealt with. As to why now, why the move to the table? Perhaps its the 100K plus Chinese troops sitting on NK’s northern border right now armed and ready for bear. Perhaps the Panda and decided to give NK the paw. Perhaps the issue of Panda trade is more important than NK’s toys. I do not know and can only surmise based on opinions on the interwebs...
All in All it is a good day for President Trump. His good cop, bad cop strategy seems to have worked. At least there is a meeting and that is something anyway. What happens remains to be seen. But really, who wants war? Us old soldiers don’t want it. The new soldiers are tired of it and the future sons and daughters should never know of it.
well said!!!
Good summation.
