No. We are witnessing Kim buying time, and trying to gain some cash and advantages by sweet-talking the West, after threatening them. Blowing hot and cold is a time-honored tradition for the Kims, and all dictators.
That would be my take.
Trust a commie at your own risk.
Don't forget the choo-choo ride that Kim took to Beijing in March. He got his orders, and he is now following them.
I think Rods from God means this time is different.
That would make sense if Trump hadn’t asserted that noting will change until Kim shows tangible results........if Kim thinks he’s playing for time he’s playing himself. Visiting the South and talking the way he has indicates either a serious change or a lack of will to live for such a tyrant. I think he sees the writing on the wall because of the affects of Trump’s actions and the only way to stay in power now is to get the Norks (population) on his side for being the guy who started relieving their sorry state. Other option is to kill them all off except the military.
