I think the Norks are trying to save face with the comments...it was pain that brought them to the tentative meeting and it will only increase if they opt out....they know it even more intimately than those looking in from the outside.

The only real snag I can see is the possibility of a military coup that erases Kim and opts to try to hold on to the bitter end - and it would likley result in the final breaking of the Norks' back.

I see it the same way. Li’ll Kim puffing up his chest for his people to show how he tamed the American dog and brought it slinking to the negotiations table.

But the deal is already done for the most part. And f’ing it up now will bring down even more pain.
