Why is this different from previous talks? Kim is desperate to find a resolution now. You can hear his desperation if you know how to read the signals. The biggest evidence is Kim’s willingness to let the U.S. and South Korea continue with their plans for military exercises. Kim is beaten and likely scared for his life. Economic pressure and special ops were key.
They had no choice. North Korea can’t hold out without Chinese and Russian support.
And continued sanctions endanger the survival of the North Korean regime.
That’s why Kim threw in the towel, not because of a new-found love for the US/South Korea or a Damascus Road conversion.
One way or another, the peninsula is going to be denuclearized.
Youre likely very correct. Additionally, rumors of Fat Boys bad health are also circulating. He has no one to pass the dynasty to.
