My own assessment is that the talks will not even occur. But we will see. Bolton and Pompeo will have to also stay the course on this one and back up DJT and accordingly show NK in no uncertain terms there is a new sheriff in town this time, not like under Clinton, Bush, Obama.
Prediction: If there is a counter response to this threat that is not to their liking, they will withdraw the move (rumored for today or tomorrow) to release those three US captives in DPRK. They are using them just as pawns anyways to flip US policy as they did with the two female journalists, the whole crew of the USS Pueblo, ad infinitum. They must be made aware that their tantrums and other tactics will not work this time.
Agreed on all points. I think NK will use any excuse not to meet and blame it on the US. They must save face at all costs.
Yet the economic pressures are taking their toll and will continue. And Trump is very good at playing the long game with patience. It's the nature of his development business experience.
What do you mean, "We'll see"? You've been all over this site declaring, "Its all show and bull sh*t while implying we're all being duped.
And now it's, "We'll see"? Which is it?
That's a disingenuous statement Tokyo..The other day you declared the whole thing as being, "All show and bull sh*t" while implying everyone at FR were being duped. You said this repeatedly.
So why would you now say, "We'll see"? Is this to ensure your somewhat right either way this goes?☺
