Kim Jong-un arrives in Singapore for historic summit with Donald Trump
After its strange flight path from Pyongyang, North Korean leader’s Boeing 747 has been seen on the runway at Changi Airport
It is all systems go in Singapore as the country readies itself for the arrival of United States President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ahead of their highly anticipated summit in the Lion City on Tuesday.

The Boeing 747 believed to be carrying Kim Jong-un has landed in Singapore, sources on the ground said.
Air China flight CA61 touched down at Changi Airport shortly before 2.40pm.
Kim takes no chances on flight to Singapore
The aircraft most probably carrying Kim Jong-un to Singapore for his summit with Donald Trump took a mostly inland route while flying over China, according to a flight tracking service.
“North Korea’s utmost concern is Kim’s route, as there have always been big concerns about assassination attempts,” according to Lee Yun-keol, a former bodyguard for North Korea’s ruling family.
Data from Swedish website Flightradar24 showed Kim’s flight initially passed over four Chinese provinces – Hebei, Henan, Hubei and Hunan – and stayed well clear of coastal areas.

Too late for him to meet PM Let Hsien Long.
That will be in the morning - about prime time tonight.

Guess who else has come to Singapore? Hyon Song Wol, the singer-turned-Workers' Party official.

Kim Jong Un thanks Singapore and PM Lee for sincere efforts in helping to host the historic summit......The North Korean leader met Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at 6.30pm at the Istana on Sunday (June 10).
"The entire world is focusing on the historic summit between the DPRK and the US, and thanks to your sincere efforts... we were able to complete the preparations for the historic summit, and I would like to thank you for that," Mr Kim told PM Lee.

Why is she there? Did NK bring entertainment contingent again? I wonder if Kim's wife, Ri Solju would like it: Hubby's old flame following him around with some official cover.

I truly wonder how all those with Kim, staff and body guards etc. what they must think of Singapore and seeing the outside world as they’re doing now.....as opposed to their country.

Looks that way doesn’t it...though she now has a political position on Kims staff somewhere.

Seoul’s Moon is dispatching Mr Nam Gwan Pyo, a deputy director of the Moon administration’s National Security Office and other senior officials to Singapore, but he won’t be there....
I do find that interesting!

Koreans are the most westernized of Asian peoples.
In watching K-Dramas they’re a lot like us.

Trump sat him down. Moon cannot just barge in as he did in S. Korea when Trump went to U.S. military base to meet troops. If Singapore and U.S. won't cooperate with him in making arrangement for his accommodation, he can't go.

Obama would have made endless concessions to secure a fake agreement.
That won’t happen on Trump’s watch. No more “leading from behind.”

As long as they have to live off the largesse from their insane personality cult, they won't do anything however absurd the whole situation is.
They have to clear the high threshold to make any meaningful change. That happens only when the crippling pressure pinches NK elites hard.
