If such is the result of a summit, it is not a good long term deal for South Korea and a pox on the United States forever if we accept it.
I am never in favor of diplomatic deals over major global security issuers that have as a priority a "legacy" for a politician. Seldom have they resulted in long term peace.
One MIRV’d SLBM destroys North Korea. One missile!

That’s why “Rocketboy Kim” is very nervous, because with his death would likely come the end of the Kim Regime of 60 years or more. I am left wondering just how many of the NK “Generals” with their “$hit For Brains Hats” are really all in for Communism? That is the real question! What would come AK (After Kim)?
What’s the point of talking if kim plans to keeps his nukes?
NoKo, if they play their cards right, may become the real winner just like W.Germany and Japan after WWII. Both countries are better off than they were before WWII.
Kim needs to shoot for East Germany and go down as a great leader who reunified his people...
Setting your standards a little low aren’t you NK?
We’re not really talking about what Kim wants any longer, so this article is a numbskull’s opinion piece, that doesn’t address reality, at least in part.
These negotiations are predicated on Kim giving up his nuclear program. That hardly leaves a “Pakistan like” option. That’s utter nonsense.
As for whether this turns out bad for South Korea, it is their leaderships situation to bungle. Hopefully they won’t.
Trump is involved, and I don’t think he’s going to make a deal that sees a unified nation adopting the North Korean model. I have a hard time seeing the South accepting that either.
Look at what the North Korean model has turned the North into.
While some want to address South Korea’s leadership, and that they favor the North model, I think they’re woefully out of touch with reality.
South Korea isn’t going to join a plan that would turn it into a brutal dictatorship.
I doubt these “models” are more than media fiction.
For whatever they’re worth, responsible Pakistan is not a model for NK.
Of course China would like NK nukes to be a threat China can use against competitors as Pak’s nukes are.
Kind of a low bar Kim is setting for himself.
I expect Trump will instill a little higher vision for NK’s future than that.
All he has to do is point to South Korea.
Hillary was responsible for Qadhaffi’s death! She even was PROUD of it...”We came, we saw, he DIED”...cackle cackle!
