Yes, I agree with all that.
I’ve thought of those scenarios.
I’ve also thought of them using third parties like North
Korea.
Kim may come to wish he had joined with Trump at some point.
“Kim may come to wish he had joined with Trump at some point.”
He lived in the west. If he could have brought 10% of that to his nation, they would have been astonished and he would be worshiped. I think he would have signed a deal with Trump to end the war. He looked at Trump like a father figure, it was kind of almost weird.
But Kim wasn’t an idiot. He saw Mattis and Bolton rattling the saber. He saw the Mueller investigation. He saw the President’s OWN PARTY oppose him.
If you saw all that, no matter how much you wanted a deal, you would know it wouldn’t be worth the paper it was written on a week after Trump was gone. And at that point, it could have been within a few weeks.
