I hope so. But, the military leaders won’t give up power easily.
Yes, Kim sees a “different future”. That would be his police state run like China’s, and while politically unchanged & unrepentent yet still with one of the largest military establishments in Asia; but trading freely with global business interests that really don’t care if North Korea remains a dangerous place for its own people and in its neighborhood of the world. Kim is hoping to convince Trump of the same myth sold to open the west to China and let China into the WTO - someday political “liberalization” will happen if the west would just treat them like a “normal” country.
