In the end, it may amount to nothing and the future remains a completely open question. But, IMO, it's a very BIG DEAL that these overtures were made to this President, and no other one previously. You are, of course, free to disagree.
It is is big deal, not to mention very unprecedented. Un clearly must understand he won't be dealing with stooges like Clinton, Bush's, Obamba etc.
We do disagree. I don’t think this means much YET. That’s why I say it WILL be a “big deal” if and only if it results in an ironclad verifiable and enforceable deal that ends NK’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
Everyone who is excited about this is assuming Kim Jong-Un is serious about concluding such a deal in exchange for.... we don’t know what yet, but presumably a lot that he finds beneficial.
I am very glad that POTUS Trump is the one driving this train, and I don’t think any other US leader on the present scene would have this “potential” deal in the making. But it is still only potential. The record of NK over decades is that they will lie, cheat, and try to get away with everything they think they can get away with. It is not a “big deal” until there is a REAL DEAL, imho. Maybe that seems like definitional quibbling, but I don’t think so. This is an opening, but it won’t mean squat if Lucy (Kim) pulls the football away. We will just have to wait and see. I’m not excited yet, but feel free to be as excited as you like....
