Completely agree with you. Trump’s personality somehow was the exact thing that Kim Jong Un needed. It’s hard to project exactly what it was, the threats, the humor, or something internal in NK that Kim needs to make a move for, but Trump absolutely will deserve enormous credit, and the experts will deserve a lot of chagrin. If there’s a positive result.
“Trump’s personality somehow was the exact thing that Kim Jong Un needed. It’s hard to project exactly what it was, the threats, the humor, or something internal in NK that Kim needs to make a move for....”
The NORK economy is dependent on China.
Unlike his father Jong Un was educated in Europe and has seen first hand what the world has to offer.
He knows he has drawn the short stick after his father and grandfather devastated the North.
Since he ascended to the top spot he seems to have purged the older hard line military leaders with extreme prejudice.
Anti-aircraft artillery?
Starving dogs?
That sends a message that Dear Leader should not be trifled with.
President Trump is the one world leader who seems to be willing to give Kim Jong Un a more or less clean slate in regards to negotiations.
Even willing to let Kim look like a Big Damn Hero back home. Important for Kim.
All said I am guardedly hopeful.
