There was nothing of concrete specifics in the Kim-Moon love fest last week.
That is why the President must lower expectations and stop publicly overvaluing the Panmunjom meeting which was all optics and bullshit anyway, and defuse this unhelpful and somewhat inappropriate Nobel talk when we are still a zillion miles away from securing true denuclearization. It will likely only happen when the Kim family is no longer in power or the Workers Party has fallen.
