It’s best to remain skeptical while hoping for the best, speaking as a Trump supporter. Yes, China did read Kim the riot act, but we can’t be sure that Kim’s just going to give up his nukes. It’s like saying we should trust Stalin to not take over Eastern Europe.
Probably the only was we can definitely say it’s safe is if Communism is fully gone from North Korea, and I don’t mean the fake fall in Russia, but a full giving up of Marxism to such an extent that they literally ban the party and literature, even have a massive bonfire and a massive firing squad against any Communists.
Pompeo even offered to protect the Kim regime from regime change, according to some reports, but Kim doesn’t seem interested in that.
I thought the whole idea of nukes was to protect the regime.
Considering Communism was literally founded to reenact Robespierre’s Reign of Terror on a more gorier scale by Karl Marx’s definition, I wouldn’t be surprised the nukes were made more for scaring neighbors than actually protecting the regime (Lenin certainly didn’t need nukes to commit all the horrors he did, or even Stalin before the USSR got the Atom Bomb), sort of like Bane using nukes in Dark Knight Rises. In fact, to be honest, I’m surprised they don’t just drop a nuke on their own people for laughs.
Kim is interested in keeping his regime in power but why should he trust the U.S. to keep him there?
